Charlie's POV

It was a normal Monday afternoon when the front door opened and my mother entered looking cheerful than ever. She was practically buzzing with excitement and I couldn't help but stop the intense argument about Kaneki Ken from Tokyo Ghoul that I was having with my older brother, Matt, to look at her. I turned my stool to face her completely.

"Mom?"

"Yes, honey?"

"What's up?" I asked, turning back around for a second then swiftly grabbing Matt's bottled water that was sitting across the kitchen counter and taking a sip from it since his back was facing me as he was putting some cookies on a plate for the three of us.

"Oh, I'll tell you later, when your father comes back from work." She waved her hand dismissively and walked towards the stairs up to her room, practically skipping all the way there.

It was weird seeing her act so happy. Not that she wasn't usually happy. It's just that she's extra happy today. Whatever it is that she's not revealing right now must be either really good to all of us or really bad to me. Mom had a history of embarrassing and teasing me. She loved playing with my mind so much that sometimes I wonder how she acts all grown up with other adults. I made a funny face at that.

Before fully entering her room upstairs, she stopped and snitched me out, "Honey, stop stealing your brother's water. You have your own."

Fuck.

I'm busted.

Matt slowly and dramatically turned so I took the chance to run as fast as lighting, forgetting about the cookies. I giggled as he chased me up the stairs and down the hall.

Slamming the door of my room before he could enter and locking it, I sighed in relief, slightly panting. Man, I'm definitely out of shape. I need to remind myself to work out more often. I sat down on the edge of my bed, looking around my messy room. It was the typical teenage bedroom, white walls except they were covered with band and anime posters, a simple window that is used for escaping when I'm grounded, a nice comfy bed at the corner, a desk at the opposite corner and a wardrobe filled with not so colorful clothes.

I laid down on the edge of the bed with my legs hanging down and stared at the ceiling. Soon, I found myself looking at her face, drowning in her warm ocean blue eyes. She was all I ever thought of these days. Her angelic features, her soft and calm voice, the way everything seemed better in her presence, how her chestnut brown hair covered her face when she was shy.

It made no sense that I've only seen her once but fell harder than my brother when he first tried rollerskating. That fall was hard enough to make him break his arm so can you see how hard I fell? Back to my point, I've only seen her once! It's unbelievable that I've fell this hard for a girl I've seen only once in my entire life!

A soft knock on my door brought me back to real life. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out as the blue eyes filled my mind again.

How could she do this when I've only seen her once?

I don't think she even glanced at me but what if she did?

Would she feel a connection of some sorts?

Would she care to understand my feelings?

I shook my head and realized whoever was at the door is a patient person. Clearing my throat, I said questioningly. "Uh, you can come in. If you're still there?" The door slowly opened, revealing the silent intruder and I froze in shock for what seemed like hours. I couldn't believe it.
