EQUINOX [ MADELAIN PETSCH ]

Chapter Six

I hear a knock on my bedroom door, "Come in" I say while still laying in bed. I look up as the door opens reveling Abigail. "Who let you in the house?" I ask her while sitting up in bed, pulling a shirt on.

"I'm guessing it was your mom"she said, walking over to my bed, sitting down. "I didn't know you had tattoos" she asked me. I shook my dad "Yeah, I don't like them honestly, I started getting them when I was fifteen, I had a friend who's brother was a tattoo artist and he would give us tattoos, even though we were underage." I explain to her. She nodded and said "I like them", I smiled "Thanks" I said back to her.

"So, why did you want me to come over?" she asked me, "I don't know, I just wanna get to know the real you. The 'outside of school'." I tell her. She shook her head "Why?", I shrugged and said "I just fell like you act like a different at school then you do on a regular day." I explain to her. she nodded slowly.

"Alright, well, to tell you the truth, I don't even like cheer leading. I only went out for it because Stephanie didn't want to be in the team alone." she tells me, I nod slowly "But she didn't make the team?" I tell her, she nodded "Right, I felt bad for her honestly, she always wanted to be a cheerleader" she said, shrugging after. "Well, why didn't you quit the team when you found out Stephanie didn't make it?" I ask her, Abigail looked at me strangely and said "I wasn't just gonna quit I never tried before" she told me "Understandable, but you said you didn't like." I told her.

She nodded "I did say that, but it's to late for me to quit now. Im captain and it's my senior year" she said while shrugging, looking down. I don't know if this is some guilt trip thing she's pulling on me, but I kinda feel bad for her. "Well, why didn't you quit when you had the chance?" I ask her. She shook her head "I only stayed on it this long to get back at Stephanie" she told me.

I nodded slowly "Why don't you and her at least try and be civil with each other?" I ask her. She shook her head "There's no way she will ever forgive me for what I did" she tells me. "You never know" I tell her while shrugging. She nodded "Yeah" she said while looking over at me, she smiled and I returned the smile back at her.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I ask her, she nodded, saying "yeah". I wasn't expecting her to crawl over me and get on the other side of me, getting under the covers, snuggling close to me, but I wasn't about to move. I smiled to myself and grabbing the remote, clicking on Netflix and put on a movie.

I put the remote back on my bedside table and took my shirt off, laying back. After I laid back, Abigail moved my arm up and around her, as she laid her head on my chest. I smiled and let my arm lay gently around her. I adjusted my position to make it more comfortable for both her and me.

Not to long after I did, I gently looked down at Abigail and see she was sleeping, I couldn't help but smile. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about her yet, but I know it's not a bad feeling.
