Saturday, February 23rd

Sarah groaned as she turned over.

I lifted my gaze from my laptop screen to look at her, making sure she was alright. She still had her eyes closed, breathing slow and deep. Still asleep then. Good.

She was stretched out on the sofa wearing Peter’s joggers and T-shirt. While they fit him nicely, they were baggy on Sarah. They were comfortable to sleep in though, which was probably why she was wearing them in the first place.

‘Morning.’

I jumped at the hoarse voice to my side.

‘Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you.’ Glenn sat down opposite me and he too glanced over at Sarah. ‘Is she alive?’

‘Barely.’ I smiled sheepishly. ‘She’s hung-over.’

‘Who isn’t.’ Glenn dragged his hands over his face, fingers rubbing at his eyes. ‘Where’s the rest of them?’

‘They were not hung-over, so they went skiing.’ I chewed nervously on my lower lip. Andreas, Leo and Peter being gone meant I was home alone with Sarah and Glenn. With Sarah out of commission, it was just me and Glenn here right now.

I had no idea what to talk to Glenn about.

He’d apologised to me—for the past month, anyway—but… He still didn’t seem to want to be around me. He had kissed me last night, but that had only been part of a drinking game. He’d kissed everyone else too—as had I. It didn’t mean anything.

‘You were sleeping so they didn’t want to wake you,’ I offered then, afraid he was pissed they’d left him behind.

Glenn only shrugged as if it was no big deal.

‘You hung-over too?’ He’d been very drunk last night. It would be a miracle if he weren’t.

‘Yeah.’ He blew out a breath and ran a hand through his messy hair. ‘I don’t remember the end of the night.’

Maybe he couldn’t remember kissing me.

I didn’t know how to feel about that.

I wasn’t going to mention it.

‘Planned on staying back here today anyway.’ He rubbed his eyes again. ‘Fuck. I need something to eat.’ He pushed up from the sofa and went to check the fridge.

As soon as I became aware that I was following him with my gaze, I looked back down at my screen.

I tried very hard to focus on the words, but for some strange reason, it was hard. Maybe because it was my own words.

‘What are you doing?’ Glenn plopped back down on his previous place, two slices of bread with ham and cheese on them on a plate.

‘Just reading.’ Or trying to, at least.

‘You’re doing schoolwork when we’re on holiday?’ His eyebrows raised in surprise.

‘No, it’s… fiction,’ I murmured. ‘Something I wrote last year.’

‘You’re a writer?’ He seemed to snap to attention at that.

‘Uh, yeah, I guess.’ I felt my face flush. ‘Just writing for myself though.’

‘You haven’t posted it anywhere?’ Glenn was almost… nice now. And interested. In me. Or what I was doing, anyway.

Strange.

‘No, I don’t—no.’ I swallowed.

‘You should.’ He leant forward slightly, gaze intense on me. ‘There are sites you can post and people can read and comment.’

‘Comment on my stories?’ I moved uncomfortably, twisting my upper body slightly as I tried to find a better position.
