A new woman.

6pm

When I walk into the Williams’ house, I feel like a new woman.

My whole body is practically glowing.

Or floating.

I’m not sure which one it is, but does it really matter?

Because either way, I’m happy.

I close the door, quickly spotting Gene in the living room.

I open my mouth to say hello, but I hear snoring coming from his chair.

I lower my head to his level, seeing his closed eyes behind his thick glasses, his mouth slightly agape. My lips pull into a smile as I think about what Helen said about Gene.

That he’s always napping.

And that he can sleep through just about anything.

I search the living room, but there’s no sign of Helen or Noah.

And I’m a little deflated about it. Because I just want to jump up and down with someone, grinning from ear to ear.

But I also realize that would probably be wildly suspicious and that if Helen saw me grinning now, she’d definitely be able to tell that I wasn’t just studying with Harry.

I walk up the stairs slowly, taking my time.

It’s funny, walking up these stairs. I remember when I first got here, I looked at the staircase, thinking how narrow and long it was. Now, I can’t imagine anything different.

I push into my room and fall onto my bed like I’m falling onto a cloud. I let my body sink into the mattress. I know that I shouldn’t be so openly happy, so obnoxiously pleased, but I can’t help it.

Part of me wonders if I should be thinking through things with Harry.

I feel like I should be worrying.

Or stressing.

Because I’m not staying here forever.

And what did I mean today when I told Noah that I could see Harry as my boyfriend?

And who lets someone be their boyfriend after only a week and a half?

Loony people—that’s who.

And apparently, me.

But the thing is, it’s Harry.

And it feels like I’ve known him forever.

I grin to myself, knowing that I can’t think anything bad right now.

I roll onto my side, eyeing my backpack on the floor. I know that I should work on my homework. I need to make myself get up off this bed and focus. Study.

But my head feels like it might float away. And I really can’t be responsible for things like Latin homework when I’m in this state.

I decide to leave my homework and daydream about being with Harry instead.

The way his body pressed into mine.

How we were almost fully naked together.

I press into my bed further, pretending I’m back under Harry rather than lying here in my room.

“Hey.”

The voice coming from my doorway startles me, and my eyes instantly fly open. I sit up, seeing Noah peeking into my room.

I slam my palms against my skirt, feeling like I’ve been caught.

Which doesn’t really make any sense because it’s not like Noah can read my mind or something.

But my heart is pounding regardless.

“Hey,” I say back, trying act normal.

“Mum said you studied with Harry? I just got back from practice,” he says, pushing open my door.
