Jump, then Fall

Chapter 6

I smiled at him in agreement as I look down at our mini globe theatre model. Just as Keiran was about to say something, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. My mother swung open the door and had her hands on her hips.

"I thought I told you to keep your door open!"

"I thought I told you to stay out of my room."

She glowered at me, flipping her hair over her shoulder. " You need to be leaving soon. It's almost 10 and I cannot fathom what you may try to do if you stay any longer, that is, if you have not already done it." she points her polished finger to Keiran, still glaring at me. 

My mother switched her glare to him as he replies, "I may not look like it m'am, but I am a respectful guy. I can assure you that I would never---"

She cuts him off and rolls her eyes, "Yes yes, whatever. You may stay until midnight. By then, you're out of here. Got it? "

She nods towards him, then spins on her heels to strut out of the room. 

I let a sigh of relief escape from my lips when she finally closes the door and is gone.

I look toward him and shrugged. "You can leave now if you want. I can write the essay by myself, you dont have to help--"

"Now what kind of person would I be if I let a pretty girl do an assignment all by herself? I'll stay."

I smiled faintly at him, and pull my laptop onto my lap. I honestly wanted him to leave, because I knew that I couldn't trust him around me after what happened earlier. I suppose I'm just one to take a challenge.

"Erm, bye. See you monday.." I bite my lip as a wave, Keiran striding across the street with a gleam in his eyes. Almost mischevious....

Hey guys! sorry this chapter was so short. It was a filler xD anywho, comment what you think? Do think Mirabella and Keiran are meant to be together? or is it just destined to fail? Keep reading!
