So I'm having kind of a mental breakdown. It's not even a mental breakdown, necessarily, just a minor freak-out that's taking place in front of my school—which is an awful place to have a freak-out, but here I am.

It wasn't a big deal.

It isn't a big deal.

God, just—I hate being looked at like he looked at me. It gives me every bad chill there is, and I don't know what to do. Lois's cousin is fifteen, a few inches shorter than me, and completely harmless, but his eyes were like his, and I can't handle those kind of eyes.

"Stephanie? I know you're not, but are you okay?"

I lift my head and stare dubiously at Noah.

"Yeah," I say, because he has nice eyes. Warm eyes, concerned eyes, mirthful eyes, whatever you want to call it.

He doesn't have his eyes.

a/n: this last sentence is meh but i can't think of anything else so.
