Warning this chapter might touch the heart .....well I hope it does 🥲
*Chapter 12: Emotional Aftermath*
The cool breeze blowing on my skin, the faint light making me feel cozy, the chatter of students, and birds singing. This feels nice, lying on... what am I lying on? Why am I having a perfect sleep? This is suspicious.
I rose from whatever I lay on, looking around and seeing Sawyer's friends on the grass, all lying on top of each other. I layed on Sawyer's stomach, Xavier on my laps, Amila and Zain a little far, hugging, and Alex cuddling Xandria.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at Sawyer, still sleeping with one arm covering his eyes.
"Sawyer," I called out, shaking him.
"We might have class; break is definitely over."
Sawyer groaned, pulling me back onto his chest, causing Xavier to sit up, sleepy and annoyed.
"Sawyer, stop! We have class."
"Shush, let's take the rest of the day off. Plus, you have one class left, and it's English." Sawyer held me tighter.
"Yeah, and we don't have any important classes either, and we'd close soon." Xavier took a comfortable position, resting his head on my laps.
"But..." Sawyer interrupted.
"No buts, sleep!"both sawyer and Xavier replied sleepy annoyed.
I didn't fight; I was tired. We slept at the picnic ground.
It's closing time. Students rushed out like wild animals released from the zoo.
Alex suggested hanging out at a pizza diner, but I was too tired. So i politely declined while Sawyer replied with a "nahhh"
Sawyer and I headed home, sleeping till Aunt Maria returned.
Now we're playing video games; Aunt Maria was drained.
I remembered those girls and paused the game.
"Heyyyy!" Sawyer exclaimed.
"Geez, sorry. I just wanted to tell you something."
"Oh, what's up?" Sawyer turned giving me his undivided attention.
"Um... this morning, I met these girls... they said I'm weird."
"Gimme dem bitches' names." Sawyer looked angry.
"No." I replied bluntly.
Sawyer was shocked.
"How am I supposed to tell them to fuck off, then?"
"I don't want you to do that."
"I just wanted to tell you because you said if anything unusual happened plus the girl with grey eyes wasn't that bad she's really pretty too ." I said describing her features with interest.
"I didn't say I like her."
Sawyer's excitement died down.
Let me finish I then said sassily with a small smile.
Sawyer rolled his eyes.
"Okay, finish what you were saying."
"I like her eyes... grey-ish ash; pretty and icy. Her hair's dark raven black, sticky and beautiful."
Sawyer chuckled.
"Have you ever wondered why we have unique features?"
"We got them from Mom... grey eyes, black silky hair, long face structure." We have hazel brownish eyes and black curls though but meh .
I guess dad's genes are really strong we got his skin and eye colour and that bubbly attitude. He chucked at that .
