chapter seven

    T: Why have you been ignoring me?

    I: you said you knew

    T: I said I think I know

    I: alright tell me what you think then

    Thomas sighed and adjusted himself on his bedroom floor. His back was starting to get stiff and he could feel the exhaustion in his eyes, but he couldn't sleep. Of course he had to get up early for school, but he deemed this conversation more important.

     T: I think you've been ignoring me because I kissed Sonya's brother. Were you there?

     I: yeah I was there tommy

     T: Am I right?

     I: yeah.

     T: I'm sorry.

     I: you don't have anything to apologize for. sorry I got so weird about it.

     T: Okay so here's the thing...

     I: uh oh

     T: Seriously, I like you. I like talking to you, but I can't do this forever. Are you actually going to come to WICKED?

    I: I told you I'd be there tommy...did you like kissing sonya's brother?

    T: I guess, but I don't really know him. I do know you though, I'd rather kiss you. Minho said you have your reasons for not telling me who you are, but I think you should have more faith in me.

    I: can you wait til WICKED?

    T: I'll wait til WICKED if you answer one of my questions

    I: deal

    T: How hot did I look at that party?

    Thomas could feel the other boy smiling through the screen. He was trying to show him that he was forgiven.

    I: oh my god tommy you're really somethin else.

    T: Hey that's not an answer

    I: fine...you looked fucking great and you should wear that shirt more often

    T: I'll wear it to WICKED

    I: don't torture me tommy.

    T: If you don't like it, feel free to take it off me

    I: holy fuck goodnight.

    "It's three weeks away Teresa!" Thomas practically shouted as he threw a crumpled piece of paper at her head. "Focus woman!"

    "Tom!" Teresa shrieked as she batted the paper out of the air. "No throwing projectiles in the lab!"

    "The mazes are done."

    "Wait really?"

    "Yes stupid." Thomas rolled his eyes as he dramatically opened his arms in direction of the lab tables with the two big constructions on them.

    Teresa dramatically clutched her chest and wiped fake tears off her cheeks. "They're beautiful."

    Thomas laughed and hopped up on the lab stool, balancing on it so he could see into the mazes. "We need to set up a camera in each one."
