chapter 23

Reed's POV

It was the next day and I walked into English and sat down. Celine soon came in and sat in her seat.

"So what happened to you, you weren't in health?" she asked.

Can she ever shut up?

"Why do you care?" I snapped.

She then sighed, "I don't, I just want
to know why you didn't show up to write our report on our project's progress."

I haven't even gave any thought to that project for the last couple of weeks.

"Oh, uh sorry wasn't feeling well." I mumbled.

She's almost making me feel guilty. Almost.

"Whatever, just come to my house after school and I guess we could write it there."

she suggested while handing me her locker number so we can meet there.

"Sure whatever I don't care." I said.

For the rest of class and the day we didn't talk until it was at the end of the day. I pulled out my phone for the tenth time. '3:40' it read, we end school at 3:30. Ten minutes late.

"Sorry I'm late, I fell asleep during sixth and my teacher wanted to talk to me." Celine rambled while fiddling with her lock.

Right when she opened her locker a pile of books and loose papers came falling out. Her Spanish textbook fell out and landed on my foot causing me to let out a string of curse words.

"Sorry, well not really. You decided to put your foot there so it's kind of your fault" she said smiling at me.

I rolled my eyes as she tried shoving all her books back inside. After we made our way to her house in silence like always.

Once we get there Celine spends a few minutes looking for keys. How much stuff could she possibly have in an average sized backpack. She eventually finds her keys and opens the door, offering me anything to eat or drink trying to be nice. After I refused she lead me to her bedroom. On her door it has a 'Keep Out' sign. She opens the door and the first thing I noticed is posters covering two of her walls. Most of them being band posters, I looked at all the bands and duos, All Time Low, Fall Out Boy, Mayday Parade, 5 Seconds of Summer, Fall Out Boy, blink-182, Green Day, Kalin and Myles, twenty one pilots, Panic! At the Disco, The Beatles, Nirvana, Coldplay, Maroon 5, We the Kings, and way more. She also had posters for solo artists Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and more. Another wall had a window and personal things, mainly pictures and letters as well as two overflowing shelves, one for cds and one for books. The next wall had a messy bed, desk, and drawer. The last wall had a keyboard and two doors, one to her closet and one to her bathroom.

"Sorry for the slight mess usually no one comes in here, I'll be right back." Celine said before dropping her backpack at her desk and disappearing into her closet only to emerge and disappear into her bathroom.

I sat on her bed and observed her room a little more in dept. Most of the photos on her wall were of friends and special events like holidays. When Celine came back I noticed she wasn't in her usual clothing. She was wearing grey sweats and an oversized pullover hoodie with our school name on it and had her hair in a messy bun instead of black skinny jeans, a vans logo shirt, and a black zip up hoodie and her hair down. She walked and sat on her bed and pulled her laptop from her desk and put on a pair of glasses.

"You look like a nerd" I commented.

She looked up from her computer screen, "Just because someone has higher grades than you does not make them a nerd Deming, believe me your grades are not that high."

Ouch.

"For your information I am very smart." I defended myself.

"Your grades sure don't reflect it."

Harsh. I rolled my eyes and changed the subject.
