Cora's pov
-
I sat on my bed, phone in hand, ready to message Ethan.
C: sorry i was out running haha
E: it's ok, hows you?
C: bored lol just lying in bed. U?
"Should i add a kiss?" I thought to myself, looking at my phone and then the mirror on the wardrobe in front of me. "Why not?" I shrugged.
C: bored lol just lying in bed. U? X
E: same haha
"Maybe i should end this before it gets too awkward?" I questioned my self.
C: sorry Ethan i gtg! Maybe talk to u later? X
E: sure no worries byee x
I shut off my phone and got up to go to my wardrobe to pick something to sleep in. Changing into a loose top and cotton shorts, i heard my mum yell for dinner.
"Hey mum," i placed myself in front of a hot plate of pasta and started eating it fast.
"Slow down darling," my mum laughed. "Whats the rush?"
"Nothing," i smiled, taking a small sip of my water. It was silent for a moment with the only sound being heard was the wind.
"So who's the boy?"
My eyes widen. "W-what?" I asked, almost choking on my pasta. "What boy?"
"Cora, i might be old," i sniggered. My mum smiled and carried on, "but i am not dumb."
I laughed again, filling my mouth with pasta. "I met him at the park this morning." I whispered through a smile.
"Is he hot?" I choked on my food and sat there for a second or two. My mum stared at me blankly.
"Are you serious?" I blinked.
"Very," she stood up, taking her dish to the sink, along with mine.
"Well then..." i paused unsure. "He is," i paused again. "Very." My mum smiled and walked over to me.
"I'm glad you're happy sweetie." She whispered placing her hand on my shoulder.
"Who said i wasn't before?" I questioned, tilting my head slightly. She didn't answer so i stood up, said my thank you's and ran up to my room.
I glanced at my phone before climbing up onto the roof through my window. I sat on the very top and looked over the small city.
This was my favourite thing. The cold air and street noises made me feel relaxed, like i could forget everything.
The sun was setting which was the best time to be out. Watching the sun slowing crawl its way down the sky with the magical pinks and reds behind. I yawned and watched people walk past my house. People holding hands, people laughing, people walking alone. I wondered what their stories were.
I was such an over thinker, even when such a tiny thing happens, like today. It's what i do, find something, think about it and usually think too much about it and get worked up. Ethan was different though. I had been thinking about him all day, yet, i hadn't had one of my stupid panic attacks or anything like that. I was surprised and extremely glad but curious on how someone could 'improve' someone else so fast.
Most people had turned off their house lights by now and all that could be seen was the faint flicker of street lights struggling to stay alight, just the same as every other night here.
"light's gone, day's end," i sniffed, climbing slowly down from my hiding place.
