Chapter Two
Matthew's POV
"Are you helping me pack up?"
Jupiter stops eating her pizza to look at me and I smile at her confused expression.
"What? I thought it was in summer?"
I laugh and nod but then Shawn helps me explain.
"It's June."
She forms an 'O' with her lips and I look at her expectantly. Jupiter analyzes my face and shrugs.
"Yeah, sure."
The bell rings, signaling lunch is over and I see Jupiter rush to leave early. She smiles and pats my shoulder before shouting bye over her shoulder.
Shawn laughs at her actions and I shake my head at her. Shawn and I walk to class and make small conversation about Magcon.
"So how is your boo?"
I raise an eyebrow as I take my seat in AP Physics and he laughs, "Yeah, McKayla."
I sigh and close my eyes, "I completely forgot about her."
"Nice."
I look at him with an exasperated look in my eyes, "Shit, bro."
He chuckles and focuses on our Do Now. "Does Jupiter know?" I immediately turn red and shake my head. "Of course not."
I bite my lip and run my fingers through my hair.
"Crap."
***
I look at Jupiter as she sits on my bed, looking at me trying on a shirt.
Silence permeates the area and her soft shallow breathing is the only thing I hear. "How was AP Physics?" I smile and shrug. "It was okay."
Jupiter lets silence fall upon us again and I pull the shirt over my head. I turn around and she gives me a thumbs up. "It looks nice," she mumbles under her breath. Her eyes flutter around my torso and her curls cascade over her shoulder.
"Who is McKayla?"
I freeze as I take off my shirt and I look at her Jupiter, her eyes were demanding, curious and wide. She raises an eyebrow at me and I blow air out of my cheeks. "She is a friend."
"She was your girlfriend at Magcon."
I bite my lip and nod.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to hurt you."
"Why would that hurt me?"
I look up at her and immediately lower my gaze at her penetrating stare.
"I don't know."
She gets up and grabs the shirt from my hand, looking down at me with a curious look in her eyes.
"Figure yourself Matt."
