Broken

Chapter Four

After drawing for about ten minutes I was looking at what I thought was a dog, I needed to practice animals, I'm normally good at drawing but not with animals for some reason. I felt eyes burning into me, who was watching? I looked around and met eyes with Elliot who was looking at me. What to do? what to do? hide? go over there? NO time to think because he was already walking towards me. I'm screwed. "HI" he said as he sat down on my bed. "um, hey, I didn't say you could sit on my bed" why did I say that? duh, I wanted him to sit on my bed, I guess he should have asked first though. He sat back up, "may I sit?" he said with a slight bow. I giggled "yeah sure" He sat down and looked at my sketchbook, "what's that?" he asked curiously, I didn't want him to see my crappy drawing of a dog. "i-it's my sketchbook   I said blushing ever so slightly. "cool, can I see?" I knew it! "um, yea, it's not that good tough, not the animals but I get people better than animals, don't ask why because I don't even know." I gave him the sketchbook and held m breath waiting for him to burst out laughing, but he didn't, if he was holding in a laugh he was pretty dam good at it. He stopped at the last page where the worst dog i ever drew laid in it's ugly glory. "well, you need some practice with the animals, you was right" I couldn't help but smile, "why thank you Da Vinci" we laughed.

Elliot and I talked, and talked, and talked, he asked me about my favorite color, my kind of music, the questions seemed to never end, and I would return the questions and occasionally made a joke about a few things, Brianna was laying there asleep, I wonder if she would be upset with me having a good time with Elliot. "TEN O' CLOCK!" a familiar voice blasted from the end of the hall "EVERYBODY GET TO BED, NOW!" People scrambled across the room from bed to bed getting their stuff together and Elliot was also gone within seconds, under what felt like three seconds everybody was in their bed laying down in complete silence. Wow.

I tried to fall asleep, I really did, but I kept replaying my talk with Elliot, it felt so short, why did the stupid bedtime have to be Ten o' clock? Looking at the big clock over Jane's door I could see it's ten fifty two. I've been thinking about that guy way to much. After I finally got to close my eyes I saw movement, everybody was getting up, moving to another bed, going back to their old conversations from before, what was going on? this wasn't a dream...right? wait, if everyone got back to what they were doing before, then...?

Surely, Elliot was standing to the front of my bed, "may i sit?" I smiled hoping he didn't see how red my face was. "sure" I said making space for him to sit next to me. He sat down and looked at me, "you surprised ? " he asked smiling "very, what's going on?" I wondered out loud. "well, you see Jane falls asleep at exactly eleven every night, and ten is way to early so we just wait till eleven to talk again" I smiled "you rebellious kids" we laughed and talked about many things, we ended up laying down together and chatting, playing thumb wrestling, drawing , it was dark but we still drew, weird right? And after all that Brianna was still asleep, that girl liked her sleep. I started falling asleep next to him, he was so easy to talk to, I didn't want to go to sleep yet. He smiled, "you look sleepy, I should go, I'll see you tomorrow " I sighed but I knew it had to happen sooner or later, "goodnight" I managed, He walked away smiling and I saw that he did a little fist pump, that made me blush a little, just a little. "goodnight.." I said soft enough for just me to hear as he walked back to his bed.

"well goodnight  to you too" Brianna said while rubbing her eyes and yawning "I didn't expect to sleep this late, i gotta go talk to my boyfriend" I nodded "yea sure, I was about to go to bed anyway" *she got up and looked around the room. "Well I'll see you tomorrow" I smiled, you bet. I got comfy in my bed and watched Brianna walk towards Elliot. no.. . She sat on his bed and started talking to Elliot. No....
