He's ... in LOVE with me?

Chapter Seven

[VOTE AND COMMENT PLEASE]

Sydney's room was truly a sight to see. The walls were painted baby pink but covered in album covers and posters and drawings. I made a mental note to really get to know her. She seemed like a really cool person and I kinda felt bad that it seemed like she felt alone in this house. I actually was pretty curious about her life; maybe I wish mine was as normal as hers.

"So how old are you?" I asked

"I'm fourteen," She said.

I smirked to myself knowing I was right, but quiet enough that she wouldn't hear. She turned her Ipod on and put it on the dock. She kept scrolling down a list so I think she was looking for a song.

Lips of an Angel by Hinder came on and I was shocked that that was the song she picked. I wondered if we had other things in common.

"Do you mind?" She asked

"No no! I love this song. Hinder is a great band. I like a lot of their songs like By The Way and this one."

"Especially this one!!!"

I could see us becoming great friends. She was a pretty nice girl. I wondered if she ever got to really have a friend to hang out with or if she was too afraid to invite anybody over because of Joey.

"Don't take this personally. But...You're not another one of Joey's whores are you? You seem too nice for that. And I think you're pretty cool."

"No worries, I'm just a friend. And thanks. So... where's your math homework?"

"Right here-" She walked to her bed and sat on the purple comforter. In front of her was a couple of binders and some paper. Typical homework.

Home work: Convert fractions to a decimal

5/17=

2/4=.50

4/5=.80

"All I need to do is the 5/17. Our math teacher is thankfully not that strict so that's why I only have a couple of problems to do. She is always giving us 'easy' nights."

"Sounds like an awesome teacher. " I watched as Sydney finished up the last couple problems on her paper and write her name and the date on the top.

"Um...That's all my homework."

"Thats okay. We can just talk if you want."

"Cool. Um, so... do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, There's no one I really like," besides Joey... I mentally slapped myself, "So what about you?" I asked. She was definitely a pretty nice person.

"No, I don't have a boyfriend. I just have a crush on this guy in my grade."

"What's his name?"

"Isaac" She blushed as she said his name.

"Is he cute?" I asked. It felt good to be gossiping with another girl besides Taylor. Maybe Sydney could hang out with me and Taylor sometime. I really liked her. And her mom. Ugh and Joey too. What is going on?! I had to get back to reality now and listen to what she was saying.

"Most definitely! He's a little bit taller than me, with short, curly brown hair and bluish green eyes. And he has really big ears which makes him even cuter!"

"I bet..." My voice dwindled as I looked around her room. I really saw a lot of myself in her. It was kind of strange.

"So how are you and Joey friends?"
