I woke up early to drop Bree off at her house. When I got back home I saw Ethan sleeping on the couch.
"Get up!"

He groaned and sat up.
"What?"

"You sleep in the guest room. Not the couch."

*************
*Later that night*

I got up to get something to eat. It was around 1 a.m.
I went to the kitchen, and grabbed a chocolate bar from the pantry. As I closed the pantry door, I saw Ethan walk outside. I raised an eyebrow at him, but he was already outside. I followed him, and saw him go on the grass and lie down. The air outside was cool. I walked to where he was.
"What are you doing?"

"Going for a night stroll." He smirked, with a cocky smile.

I rolled my eyes at his sarcasm. I sat across from him on the grass, and put my back against our fence. He just looked up at the stars.

"Just imagine how cool it would be to be in space." He said, still looking at the sky.

"With no oxygen, and no human life, no thanks." I said, staring at the dew drops on the grass.

He chuckled.
"Aside from that, imagine, exploring the entire universe. I mean, think about it. There could be other life forms out there"

"Aliens?"

"Sure."

It was quiet for a moment. It was also really dark, I could only make out the outline of his body. I was about to get up when he asked me a question.
"Tell me about yourself."

"What?"

"You heard what I said. We haven't really talked about you since I've been here so, now the spotlight is on you."

I sighed.
"Uh, well. I moved here over a year ago. I like scary movies, chocolate, and adventures. What else do you wanna know?"

He moved next to where I was. I looked at his hair, and quickly rubbed my hands through it, purposely messing it up.

He laughed.
"Chill out. My hair is precious."

He smoothed it back into place. We spent the rest of the time talking, we didn't go back inside the house until at least 4. We told each other goodnight. I took a quick shower, then put on black sweatpants, and a baggy white shirt. I left my wet hair to air dry, and walked back downstairs to my room. I went to sleep with a smile on my face.
