When She Was Put Back Together Again

Chapter 9

Andrew and I were in my cabin, sitting in silence, since neither of us could think of anything to do. That's when Andrew sprung up, his eyes lighting up. "I have an idea!" He exclaimed. "That's a scary thing." He rolled his eyes. "You know that yoga challenge thing?" I nodded. "We could do that." I shrugged, and replied, "Sure, why not?" The first one was pretty easy, considering the fact that I haven't done yoga since I was six.

Yes, I did yoga when I was six. I had weird hobbies, alright? Anyway the others were pretty innocent, only holding hands every once in a while. "Okay, let's see what comes up next." I said, slightly out of breath. Reilly nodded, as I swiped right on my phone's realitively large screen.

I was right in between my face bursting into flame, and laughing at this point, and that's when Andrew turned to me. "Its worth a shot, I guess." He said, shrugging. I sighed, and agreed with him.

Many bruises, falls, injuries, and ten tries later, we were in the pose on the screen. Andrew's feet held up my body, pressed against my back. Meanwhile, I was bent backwards, my face inches from his. My view was upside down, and my hair fell behind his head, forcing my eyes to focus on his. "So... hi." I said, regretting my life decisions up to this point. "Hi." He said, seeming like he was in a dream like state.

"Okay, I have a few questions for you." Andrew said. "Okay, like what?" There was a brief yet comfortable silence. "You said your mom had a business trip in California over Christmas break, right?" I nodded. "Ya, and?" "Does she allow you to date yet?" I felt heat rush to my cheeks. "She said I can, since she was afraid that I wouldn't get the chance to." Andrew looked confused briefly, but then realization struck his face.

"Got it." I nodded. We stayed in that awkward pose, in an awkward silence, and pretty much everything about the situation was the definition of awkward. "Hey Brook?" Andrew asked, breaking the silence. "Ya?" Andrew began to turn red. "You know that coffee place down the street?" He asked. "Ya." He began to turn even redder. "Do you want to meet up there, in about an hour?" I smirked, which must look ridiculous upside-down.

"Are you asking me out a date?" I asked. He smirked. "Only if you want it to be." I rolled my eyes. "You're gonna drop me on my ass if I say no, aren't you?" He nodded. "Well, I wasn't planning on saying no anyway, so yes, I'd love to go on a date with you." He smiled, and we both started laughing. Soon enough, we were laughing so hard, that Andrew's knees went out, and I ended up falling on the floor next to him.

When we stood up, he left my cabin, and I fell on my bed, and realized that I was an inclined plane wrapped around an axis.

In other words, screwed.
