A Glimpse of Us • Sodapop Curtis

ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ｔｈｒｅｅ

    I woke up to the feeling of someone tripping over my legs.

     I kept my eyes closed because I really didn't care at the moment, I was tired, especially with the events that happened last night.

    "What the hell?" Toni yelled, "Why are you sleeping in the middle of the floor?"

    "You're the one who pushed me here." I murmured, rolling around to face the floor in hopes of blocking out the sunlight from my eyes.

    "You just took that and stayed there all night? In the same spot?" He laughed.

     "Whatever" I replied trying to fall back asleep, which was hard to do because Toni wouldn't stop running his mouth and laughing at me.

     I felt arms pick me up, and peeled my eyes open to see Soda, "You can sleep in my bed T, i'm leaving for work now, so you don't have to lay on the floor."

     He smiled down at me which made me feel all fuzzy inside. Being in Soda's arms and feeling his warmth was just perfect.

     "Don't baby her, she's perfectly fine on the floor!" Toni yelled after us.

     "You're feeding into her fantasies about you." Keith spoke. 

     And even though I was unable to see him I could still feel his eye roll that he sent the both of us.

      "So what if I am?" He whispered low enough for only me to hear.

     I did have a thing for Soda, I would flirt with him and tease him because I liked to see him flustered. But to think that he liked me the way I liked him, made me think. I really believed that he only flirted with me because he was being nice and liked the attention. He deserved a more put together girl, more like a soc, I was too much over the place.

      It wouldn't be hard for him to get such a girl anyways, considering how they always threw themselves all over him.

    I felt the impact of the Bed and heard Soda whisper, "when you wake, come visit me at the DX."

     I didn't reply to him, I only returned his words with a smile, letting him know that I would.

    I heard his footsteps become more and more distant until the door to the room clicked. I snuggled into the blankets trying to fall back asleep.

    And I was already almost back into a deep slumber until five minutes later I heard the door swing open and a very obnoxious twin scream at the top of his lungs.

     "YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD LET YOU SLEEP? WAKE YOUR ASS UP."

     I opened my eyes only to squint at him, "get out."

     I honestly don't know why god paired us together, because all this boy did was annoy the living shit out of me.

     "You're just a ray of sunshine aren't you?" he smiled at me clasping his hands together. 

     He waltzed over to me and the whole time while he did I was hoping that the look I was sending him would make him drop right then and there.

     Then maybe I could finally have some peace and quiet, at least just enough for me to get some rest.

      But I knew that the thought was impossible.

      Putting Toni into the equation of anything resulted in something obnoxious.

     "What do you want now Toni?" I said giving in, and sitting up.

He laid down next to me on his stomach and started tracing designs into the sheets. In the moment, he really looked like a teenage girl.
