Genes pov:
I looked into the kitchen as y/n's mum called us in.
"one secomd mum just gonna run to the bathroom"
y/n shouted as she darted up the stairs.She looked different here,a nice different anyway.My dad began walking into the kitchen to sit around a large oakwood table smiling as i fell into step behind him. He sat next to where y'n's mum was going to sit on one side and i sat opposite him assuming y/n should be next to me.I thought about it and she would probably just end up sitting on one of the end seats or maybe she would sit next to me,i mean the table is large we wouldn't really be next to eachother anyway
and sitting on th-
My pondering was interrupted by the sound of y/n walking back down the stairs and her mum grabbing the plates of food.Y/n strolled in bringing a sweet bubbly smell of perfume with her,it was really nice.
I slightly turned my head to her giving her a small smile,meeting her soft eyes as she smiled back pulling out the chair next to me.y/n's mum quickly passed me and y/n a plate of garlic roasted chicken,with herby potatoes and tender stem broccoli."thank you this looks lovely"i tried to say but it came out all messy and quiet.She must've heard me as she turned to face me whilst walking to her and my dads seat and smiled big.It was nice to have a proper meal at a table and eveyrhing,usually at home we just eat in our beds our on the sofa together with some pizza or something not anything home cooked like this.My dad was wonderful at most things but cooking was not one of them so this was a nice treat,first time in a while.Y/n's shuttered into her seat as she tucked in smiling around the room.
"so sarah we found out in the hallway that our gene here and y/n go to the same school and are in the same year"he laughed with his mouth open.Her name was sarah,y'ns mum.I felt the tension between me and y/n after he'd said that,i desperately wanted it to go away so i felt like i needed to say something to clear the air a a bit."uh yeah and today actually we got paired up as english partners to write a poem or something about a shakespeare story"i coughed up.It oddly enough came out quite smooth and i could feel y/n's eyes on me but i didn't want to turn to face her making it awkward again."oh wow! well that's lovely dear,what story are you guys going to pick"she beamed darting her eyes between us both.I turned to face y/n almsot wanting to laugh and i could tell she wanted to aswell.I could feeler my cheeks go redder so i quickly looked back down at my plate and grabbed my water to take a sip."we aren't really sure but i've alresdy got notes on a few so i'm sure i can show gene my notes and we can choose one or something"y/n said.I turned again to face her looking at her for a second longer before smiling and not breaking the eye contact this time.Instesd now she was the one turning red and she began to cut one of her potatoes looking away.
We had a lovely dinner and the conversation g rrr ally went quit smooth i grinned to myself,and hey i managed to talk to y/n for a couple seconds just us.Sarah grabbed our plates and popped them
into the dish washer before twisting on her heel to
rest against her hands on the kitchen sides.
"well why don't you guys go upstairs and practice you shakespeare assignment,remember you need those grades y/n" she laughed and winked.I was confused but it felt rude to ask so i just looked at y/n a bit oddly hoping for her to explain,but she didn't she just sighed and smiled a bit."come on then"y/n muttered to me as she pushed out of her chair.
I quickly pushed out of mine too shouting thanks back to sarah i stood behing y/n following her up the stairs in silence.The tension had grown again what was we meant to talk about what we were we meant to do,oh gosh suddenly i really regretted coming over.
She smiled as she held the door open for me to come in i glanced around her room looking at her white walls and her panneled bed frame behind her wooden wardrobe.She quickly turned off her vanity lights and crawled up into her bed grabbing her phone from under her pillow as she stared at me blankly,trying to escape the awkwardness by
leaving me stood there to try and do something.She looked awfully pretty sat there twisting her lips around as if to make out she was doing something.
