A Key And Lock

Dont laugh ...

Cress's POV

After Damien fell asleep I finished putting away the groceries and opened my Dr.Pepper going to sit at my desk. I didn't need to put music on because Damien had his playing on speaker , turns out we like the same musice so it works. I took a sip of the Dr.Pepper before turning the bottle in my hand looking at the liable. Remembering what happens at the grocery store. How he maid me want to laugh with his goffy faces and randome comments. How he brought up how much taller he his then me. How...he helped get Trace to shut up. The way he put his arms around me and kissed my cheek. It all just gave me a surf of energy . like I could bounce off the walls. I placed the side of the mouth of the bottle on my lips and kept it there. Thinking. It was a very different experience. Then what I'm used to.'why would he do that for me.? It could just ruin his chances fore being the good poupuler in this school by him hanging out with me and saying things like that to the head honcho Trace.' I sighed and shook my head taking another sip of the soda before closing the lid and setting it on my desk. I got up and groaned some towels and bleach walking into the bathroom. 'Its been to long since I decided or took the time to change my hair.' I thought and shut the door. Looking in the mirror at my raven black hair and let out a sigh blowing my bangs out off my face. 'here we go..' I put the towl around my shoulders and put on some rubber gloves to protect my hands from the bleach and started bleaching my hair.

Ive done this a million times before so I know how to get the perfect look. After the bleach had been in for a bit I rinssed it all out and dryed my newly blond hair. 'Not to bad' I thought looking at my hair I brushed it back to its normal part and walked out of the bathroom turning of the light. Damien was still sleeping soundly on his bed some of his dark hair splayed messely across his forehead. His lips slightly parted as he breathed. I felt a smile creep up to the corners of my lips and shook my head looking away. 'Dam, what's wrong with me he's just a guy. I mean come on there everywhere.' I scoffed softly and grabbed the unfinished bottle of soda and checked the clock. I took another drink of my soda before setting it on the counter and getting out a frozen pizza putting it in the oven. Then went to put on my normal make up. Mascara, light blush, very little eyeliner around the corner to the middle of my eye lids , and skin tone eye shadow . going for something close to the no-make-up-make-up-look. I then checked the time and the pizza. Groaning from boardom.'dang what's the use of a roommate if they sleep all the time?' I thought jokingly . im sapost to wake him up in another ten-fitten minutes anyway. I glanced at him once more and chuckled softly he looked just about the same as before. I sighed shaking my head and feeling my for head and cheeks felling warm. 'I must be sick my temp seems up but I feel fine.' I shrugged and walked over to his sleeping body and knelt down.

"Hey, Damien. Time to get up and eat like you told me to make you do."

I said while shaking his shoulder some he groaned.and rolld on his back awake but not opening his eyes yet. 'Adora- shut up.' I mentally cut myself off.

"Alright, I'm up.. "

He groaned and I stood up geting the pizza out of the oven my hair was the same as usual, Other then the fact it was now blond. It was falling over both my shoulders from the light green-ish hoodie vest I was wearing. I set the pizza on the counter and walked back to the area with the beds. Not looking were I was going g at the time I walked into Damien. My head lineing up perfectly at his collar bone. I stood there frozen and so did he be for we both took a step back . he looked a little pink not looking at me as he rubbed the back of his neck and awkwardly chuckled. 'I hate that sound..' I whisper in my head I looked away as well.

"Sorry wasn't looking were I was-"

He stopped talking. I looked up to see him starring straight at me a liytlte wide eyed. 'Shit, I never thought of how he might react to my hair-' I saw the smiled tug at his lips.

"C-cress is that r-retally you"

He stutters through his chuckling I just stood there with a less then amussed face and crossed my arms looking away.

"I die my hair a lot"

I mumbled under my breath in defense. He didn't hear it and laughed softly before looking at my face. I was again looking at him and if looks could kill... I was kinda affended to. He froze and his smile fell.

"Hey, Cress i- I didn't mean like-. I wasn't laughing 'at' you.. A-and, you actually look...er.. Good ...really you look great "

He said tubing the back of his neck . I looked away. Not having much to say. 'He couldn't of just not laughed' I don't get affended often or by many people. 'What's so different about him..' I shuved my hands in my pockets and we both sighed . 'he couldn't of just.. Not laughed...just don't laugh.. What's so hard about that?' I pulled my hood up . avoiding his Hansom-er ..his green eyes from my pale-grye-blue ones and turns around.

"Pizzas on the table"

I said casually , he again sighed and followed me to the kitchen , well the small area we called a kitchen. And sat down to eat a silent pizza lunch. 'Today started out so great... What happened..and why..most of all why do I care, what's going on with me lately. I feel warm and my legs feel weak. And my breath keeps getting caught in my throat, and my heart feels like its rather stopped working or over working.. Ugh, I'm so confused' I thought to myself keeping my regular blank face. With its slight pink from slight the heat on my cheeks. 'I just hope it doesn't get wires, any of this that is.'
