Just The Way You Are (On Hold Till Summer 2015)

Chapter 1

Hey Guys,

The first two chapters aren't really detailed and it's more dialogs... 

But the next chapters will be more descriptive.

"Well, it wasn't that bad... I mean you weren't actually standing still, were you?" Olivia's voice came through the speaker as I was patrolling my room, getting dressed after one long, relaxing shower.

"Oli, you've known me for five years. It's not like its an unexpected thing for me to do..." I go on as I pull the drawers, throwing everything I didn't need behind me, in a pile on the ground.

"Walking into walls is one thing, since your head is always buried in one of your books, but..." 

The doorbell rang and I stumbled my way to the door, kicking anything in my way to a side.

"One sec," I tell Olivia. "Mom! Can you get the door?" I shout, peeping my head out of my room. I waved my hand at Olivia to continue, stupidly, not noticing that she couldn't actually see me. "you were saying..." I said, chuckling to myself.

"I was saying that slipping on flat and dry surface, while standing still and in the process hitting Booger Brad in the balls with Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlett Letter is not only hilarious but a whole new level of clumsy, even for you."

"Where the hell is my green top?" I wondered out loud, tripping on a pair of boots that were randomly lying on the floor.

"Wait, we're you even listening to what I was saying?"

"Well Oli, I don't find hitting a poor guy in the nuts with a hardcover book that funny, and I was not..." I gasped as the door hit me right in the forehead. I fell on the huge mount of clothes piled up in the corner of my room.

"Ow..." I whined, rubbing my forehead.

"Oops, guess I should've knocked first..."  

I jumped to my feet as I hear Shawn's familiar voice.

"Shawn!" I threw myself at him, hugging him as tight as I could, clearly forgetting that I'd been slammed smack in the face by him less than a minute ago.

"Don't you think you should get dressed first?" He said, looking down at my body, smirking. I looked down. I still hadn't put on a top.

"Nah, you're cool." Shawn and I had been best friends since we were two. I had no problem dressing in front of him. "Uh..." He scratched the back of his neck "I know I am but..."

"Oh my god, Colin?" I said, my eyes practically popping out of their sockets as I finally saw the tall boy standing behind Shawn, scratching his neck awkwardly. He gave me a little wave, looking away quickly.

Oh god, I was still half naked wasn't I?

"Err... Get out, out. Now!" I yelled pushing Shawn out of my room as Colin held his hands up as if to surrender. 

Colin is Shawn's cousin. Very cute, very funny and insanely ingenious. After the whole Simon family suddenly decided to move away and leave my brother and I all alone, with no friends whatsoever, I'd only seen Colin a few times when we'd go over to Washington or they'd come to California. But for the past four or five years I never saw Colin at the get togethers. So I remembered him as the scrawny eleven year old nerd who spent his whole day solving Geometry riddles and he remembered me as the clumsy twelve year old tomboy who slipped on dry, flat ground and had bruises everywhere.
