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

Chapter 3

You know how every single teenager is always whining about how they hate school and mostly the fact that they have to get up 6 AM five days a week? How they would change switch places with preschoolers to get a chance to take a nap on the ground on some four foot blue mattress? 

Not me. I despised sleep when I was one and I still do. 

I rubbed my eyes and looked around me, wondering why I was sleeping on the ground. I sat up, after I pushed Evangelina's left foot off of me, while she was sleeping upsidedown, her other foot on her pillow.

Then I remembered last night. I was at Maggie's house with the Simons. Then I remembered my conversation with Colin. Had I been Drunk or something? I must've been since I actually attempted confessing my everlasting love to Colin. 

I don't love him though. Do I?

Of course not, I don't even know why I like him. He isn't  that different from other guys I know. But there's  something about him. Something that makes me want to get closer to him. To spend more time with him.

I got up and tiptoed across the huge room, careful not to wake the guys from their oh so holy slumber. Stepping on the corner of the pillows I slowly walked across the room; but being my awfully clumsy self, I slipped on Alex's and fell on his stomach. I panicked, afraid that I'd woken all of them up with the racket I'd just made; cause trust me you do not want to wake Shawn and Colin when they're sleeping. But they were all still sound asleep. Even Alex who had about a hundred pounds laying on his stomach just mumbled something in his sleep, changing sides, after I'd gotten off of him.

I decided to go to Olivia's house a few blocks over, instead of laying down on the floor, waiting for the others to get up like I always did.

I started humming "Diamonds" from Rihanna quietly, gradually turning the volume of my voice louder as I broke out my jazz hands. "Shine bright...tonight...you and I...we're beautiful like diamonds in the sky..." I imitated Rihanna's voice, horribly, I must add. I was starting to feel bad for the neighborhood.

Finally, I got to the front steps of Olivia's. without bothering to knock, I opened the front door and yelled my guts out.

"OLI AUTUMN NOEL GET YOUR LAZY BOOTY OUT OF BED." I ran up the stairs, making sure I was making as much noise as I could. I entered her room. It was super clean as always and with the green wallpaper, curtains, bed cover, desk and everything it looked just like those unique rooms you saw on the Internet. 

I took a huge step back and pounced on the crawled up lump in the middle of the queen sized bed. 

I heard a grunt as I landed on a hard object which I guessed was Olivia. 

No duh Rob...

Rob...

Colin...

I wondered if he was up. I wondered if he was wondering where I was; if he was up. What if he thought about last night...

What would he think?

Would he push me into telling him? Cause I really didn't want to...

"Robin..." She kicked the covers off of her, sliding me down the bed along with all the green pillows and teddy bears. She crawled across her bed while I was still dazed and quickly pulled her blanket over her head.

I got up stubbornly and jumped on the bed, this time lying down next to her.

"Come on, get up. It's nine o'clock already!" I whined.

I heard her muffled voice from under the covers, whining about how I was crazy to think that nine o'cklock was late for getting out of bed.

"I've got news..." I sang, knowing that she would give her sleep up to find out what I had to say.
