(Thanks guys for reading! I'm trying to make the chapters longer but this takes longer and I kinda procrastinate if you haven't noticed yet but thank you everyone!)

I walk next to him. He doesn't say a word. I don't really know what to say. We walk out of the hallway and out to the front where the big front doors stand, waiting to be opened. We go left and Théodore takes us up the staircase. I'm trying to think of something to say about how nice this place is when I blurt out the most stupidest thing possible.
" So, can I call you Theo or something? Because Théodore is a bit too long for me." he glances at but doesn't say anything for a while. I'm about to repeat my question, thinking he didn't hear me, when he responds.
" Only my friends and family can call me that, but you shouldn't be saying my name is long when yours is equally as long." he says with a smirk. I narrow my eyes but I feel the edge of my mouth curl into a smile.
" Well, sorry for asking." I reply.
" So, can I call you Lily or Anna? Because Lilyanna is a bit too long for me." he says the last sentence in a fake way-too-girlier voice then mine but I know he meant to make it mine.
" Well sorry cause 'Only my friends and family can call me that'". I say, equally as annoying and dramatic as his act of me. He smiles and I realize his eyes light up with amuzement. I break into a small giggle which is cut short as a girl pushes her way in between Theo (I'm gonna call him this anyway) and me. I scrunch my eyebrows. How rude can you be? She grabs him by the arm in a gentle way and I can see the same look in her eyes as I saw in Lattie's. This girl obviously likes Theo.
He immediately shoots his eyes down to where she touched him. I can tell he's uncomfortable. I look at the girl now. She's the other blonde I saw sitting in the front row back in the classroom. She wears a gray cardigan and a gray and maroon plaid skirt. She wears maroon knee socks with black short high heels. Her hair is up in a ponytail and it looks like she straightened the shit out of it. On top is a maroon bow. Her make up is perfect and she doesn't wear as much as I saw the other girls were wearing, she doesn't need to. She's really pretty and her voice sounds like all the other typical snotty rich brats.
" Theo?" I see him flinch as she calls him that. I guess she's not his friend.
" Are you gonna show us what you've been working on up in the East Tower?" she blinks her eyelashes like she's begging for food. Now I see that Theo's annoyed for some reason. I see him look back and he makes eye contact with Trevor. Trevor has a look on his face like he's sorry. He mouths, ' She made me tell her'.
Theo sighs and rolls his eyes but turns his attention back to the girl.
" Sorry Cindy but my project's not done yet." the girl( apparently whose name is Cindy) pouts out her bottom lip like a two-year old. I'm liking this girl less and less by the minuet.
" Okay, but I'll be the first one to see it, right?" Theo opens his mouth and it looks like he's gonna say 'no' when he sighs and says something else.
" Of course." Cindy bites her bottom lip and squeals like a 5-year old. She does a little bounce which makes me want to punch her in the head and paralyze her. Wow, that was a creepy thought.
As Cindy gets back in line she turns to me and gives me the most hatred look I have ever seen on someone. What did I do to her? As I turn back to Theo I raise my eyebrows. He must know what I'm gonna ask because he answers first.
" No I'm not dating her." I smile and narrow my eyes. He looks at me and gives me a 'what?' look.
" Maybe you're just in love with her, like how can you not love that whinny, bratty voice of hers?" I say, trying to act like her, pouting out my lip. Theo smiles but doesn't look at me. then his smile fades and he looks at me, now serious.
" I never fall in love, even with the people I date." I nod like I understand but I don't really. I guess it's because I've never had a boyfriend before and I don't really know if I would love him.
" That's cool" is all I say. He's about to say something back when someone from behind us shouts.
" Hey! Is this a tour or is it flirt-with-the-new-girl time? If you're our guide can you please start guiding us? I almost ran into a wall back there." the boy who talks has bleach blonde hair (almost white) and bright sapphire blue eyes. He wears gray skinny jeans and the maroon cardigan with the tie. He's kinda cute but looks unpredictable. Theo stops and turns around.
" Oh, sorry Flint, I didn't know you wanted a turn with her." he says pointing his finger at me. " And it's not my problem you're as blind as a bat and can't see where you're going. I don't need to hold your hand, do I?" I'm starting to like Theo's insults. He seems like he has one ready at any moment. I remind myself not to say anything rude to him.
This Flint guy shakes his head and I hear him shout "sorry" and he gets back in line. Theo turns around and we start walking down the hallway again. I'm about to pick up where we left our conversation but he interrupts me.
" Just shut up. I don't want to talk to you anymore." I am taken aback by his sudden rudeness and harsh words but I don't say anything even though I really want to snap back at him. As I walk by his side, we continue the rest of the tour in silence.
(Omg guys! We are up to 35 reads! That's so awesome! I honestly thought no one was gonna read my book besides my friends. I'm already working on my next chapter because I'm stuck in the car for three hours. Keep reading and thank you guys so much!)
