Chapter 2 - Reactions

Brett's POV

Chuckling at my recent thought. 'How could I think that?" I mumble to myself. I grab the popcorn put it into a bowl and walk into to  the lounge. Immediately I notice Christie isn't there."Christie?" I shout no answer "Christie!" I shout again louder this time and again silence. She isn't the type to pull pranks on people. I put the popcorn on the floor abd walk around the house getting more and more worried now I get into a jog. going up the stairs checking every room. Nowhere to be seen. Going back down the stairs I spot a sheet of paper on the table just beside the front door. I quickly get there, it's a note "Sorry, had to go. Mum texted telling me to get home." At the bottom it' signed Christie but with a scribble on closer inspection I realise that it was three kisses. Why did she do that, she always puts kisses at the end of every text and note.

"Oh I'm just being paranoid." I say to myself. I walk back into to the lounge and step on something looking down I see that it's the popcorn I put on the floor. Not wanting to awste it, I pick it all up, place it back into the bowl and start eating it on the sofa. 'Better not spoil this movie night' I thought, so I got up off the sofa and played the movie

**************

It's the morning, I've just woke up I pick myself up off the and go to the toilet. Coming back I pick up my phone, yawning. Switching it on, I check the time 9:00 then the vibrates telling me I've got a message checking it I see it's from Christe.

Christie: Sorry about last night :(

I text back that its fine and if she wants to come out today. Waiting for her to text back, it's shouldn't take her this long to say yes. Getting bored I turn on my laptop and put on a song by Paramore (the best band ever). Halfway through the song my phone vibrates.

Christie: No sorry again. Feeling sick. Maybe next time?

Me: Yeah okay. Get well soon.

Feeling still kinda tired and with me not having anything to do today I go back to sleep

Christie's POV

I woke up early the next morning, at first I seemed fresh for a new day then the previous night had dawned on me. I didn't cry but I still felt miserable picking my phone of the bedside table I pick it up to look at the time 8:30 am. I get out of bed wanting to take my mind off of last night, I decide to get a shower. Dawdling to my en suit, I twist the handle to turn on the shower. The shower woke me up but it didn't help my feelings, getting changed into some clothes I grabbed from the wardrobe my phone vibrates. I pick it up, it's battery is almost dead, putting it on charge I check the time again 8:59. I should tell Brett I'm sorry for going but ... No I'll text him. Done sent him the message telling him I'm sorry. Almost immediately he texts back. Do I want to come out? Erm what should I do. What will I do when I see him? Best not risk it. I'll tell him I'm sick. Yeah I'm sick it will give me an excuse not to see him until school. Seconds later he replies saying "It's okay. Get well soon.' I feel terrible lying to him but it's for the best and he would do the same if he was in her shoes.

**************

I didn't text Brett back for the rest of the weekend and he didn't text me. It's a Monday morning and I'm back at school, I didn't knock for Brett just walked staight to school and now I'm waiting outside for the school doors to open. It's about 8:30 and the doors don't open until 8:45. Waiting, watching the younger students walk past in their new blue uniforms, I still wore my old red uniform because it was my last year of school so everyone in my year didn't need to buy the new one. My heart drops over the heads of the small children I see Brett, he's waving at me. Automatically I wave back, he's almost at me and I realise I don't feel the urge to kiss him or at least hug him. Phew it was just a fluke guess I can go back to normal now. I feel a smile form on my face.

"Hi, do you feel better?" Brett asks.

Remembering that I told him I was ill I say " Yeah it was just a 24 hour thing feeling right as rain now."

"Oh good, I was worried you wouldn't be in today." He smiles. A few minutes later the rest of my weirdo friends joined me, Vicky, Abby and Emma.

The rest of the day was a blast we talked in lessons and had fun at break and at dinner Brett took our photos for our Facebook profiles. Some of which should never have been took but he did anyway. 

Best of all I didn't feel any difference between me and Brett!
