EIGHTEEN

I woke up to find Hunter still sitting in my room, just listening to his iPod and reading a book.

“You stayed up all night?” I asked.

He didn’t hear me, which wasn’t surprising considering how loud his music was.

I had actually slept well, and was in an extremely good mood. I grabbed a stuffed animal and threw it at him.

He looked at me, startled. Then he smiled as he turned off his iPod.

“Aren’t you a little old for stuffed animals?” he asked.

I shrugged.

“Did you not sleep at all?” I asked again.

I didn’t know whether he was lying or not, but he assured me that he got plenty of sleep and that he always woke up early.

“Sooo, I guess you better get going so you can get ready for school.”

He stood up, way too fast.

“You’re right,” he said. “So how are we doing this?”

“Doing what?” I asked confused and still not fully awake.

“School... Are we acting like we don’t know each other or what?”

I instantly felt bad for acting like such a jerk when he was clearly trying to help me all along.

I smiled and without giving him a direct answer, I said, “Do you need a ride to school?”

He smiled back in a way that gave me butterflies and literally made me wonder how in the world he didn’t have tons of girls from school after him.

“You know people will talk, right?”

I laughed. “People always talk. Your point is?”

“Can’t argue with that,” he said in a sarcastic tone. “Can you come by my house in let’s say, 30 minutes?” he asked.

“I’ll need a little longer than that. Let’s make it 45.”

He rolled his eyes. “Girls!”

“Uh-huh. You better go before you make us late.”

He was just about to open the door, which made me wonder why he didn’t just vanish or did whatever it was that he could do, when I stopped him.

“Umm… Do you mind doing something for me before you leave?”

He looked at me puzzled, waiting to hear what I wanted.

“Can you open my closet and make sure no one is there?”

I don’t think I ever heard someone laugh so hard.

“Alright, just go. Andrew and Kelly are going to hear you if you don’t stop laughing.”

Still laughing but able to keep it down, he walked over to the closet, opened the door, looked inside, and met my gaze. “Nope, neither one of them is here today.”

“Haha funny! Just go. I’ll see you soon.”

I could’ve probably taken forever to get ready, especially being rested and in a good mood. I would have taken the extra time to get my hair done, makeup… but I didn’t want Hunter to be late on my account, so I put on the school’s uniform, put on some eye liner and lip gloss, and left.

When I got to Hunter’s, he heard my car and came outside, holding two juice boxes and two packs of pop-tarts.

He got in the car. “Got you breakfast.”

“Thanks, but I need some caffeine with my breakfast.”

“You really need to cut down on that caffeine.
