The new girl and the bad boy

#18 Kiss Chase?

Kiss Chase?

“I don’t think she’s awake,” I heard my brother say, my eyes twitching open and adjusting to being awake again. I looked at the time and saw it was mid-morning. I wanted to close my eyes and sleep again, but I knew I should get up and do some school work.

“What is it?”
