Part 6

Conrad and are sat next to each other, on the docks out back, while Susannah paints us.

"Can I go in and get a drink?" I ask.

"Sure, be quick." Suz smiles.

As I walk away I hear her question him about Nicole, his girlfriend.

I listen for a second but their voices slowly trail off as I head inside.

After two minutes I come back.

"Finally Y/N." Conrad grabs my arm, pulling me down.

"Sit still, I'm doing your faces now."

We look straight at her.

She sighs with chuckle.

"Cmon, smile at each other or something."

Conrad laughs, before look down at me, with a smile.

I look up at him longingly.

"Perfect, now keep still for just a few minutes."

We do, we sit there, I stare into his ocean eyes, and he stares into my y/e/c one's.

"Okay, we're all done, you can see it once it's dry."

"Great."
Conrad stands up, and I follow but the second I do, I stumble back slightly, Con catching me.

Susannah walks over.

"You okay?" Conrad asks.

I nod, putting on a smile.

"Might just need a lay down." I lie.

"Okay honey." Suz rubs my shoulder before Con and I start to walk inside, him wrapping an arm round my waist.

"What's wrong, Eminem?"

"Nothing. I'm all good."

"Well I know you're not sick, you just don't wanna go to the deb thing."

"I don't know, just." I nearly open up, but realise I don't want to let him in, I need to get over him. I think. "Like I said. Tired."

He nods as we walk up to my bedroom.

I sit on my bed and he chucks me a blanket.

"Coming to the book party later?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Ok, don't sleep for too long."

"Knock knock."

Belly taps on my door, leaning on the doorframe.

"Hey."

"So." She pauses. "I know you were gonna go to the book party, but."

"But?"

"I'm going on a date with um, Cam."

"Bonfire guy."

"Yeah, and, he's got a friend, interested in you. Wanna come?"

This could be my gateway to get over Conrad.

"Sure." I grin.

"Kay, get ready and come downstairs, be quick."

I nod and she closes the door.

'Guess I need to make an outfit'

I grab a nice but casual pale purple dress, and chuck it on with a cropped grey zip up. I get a tote bag, putting all my essentials in as usual.

I walk downstairs but make and abrupt stop when I hear what Susannah and Laurel are talking about.

"I feel like somethings wrong with Y/N." Suz tells her.
