Nerdy love

Norton POV

I showed her up the stairs and placed her stuff in a guest room,she took her books and we went to my room. I've been trying forever to complete one homework but all my mind could think about was her. She consumed my mind

"Norton stop staring" she said hiding her face making me laugh.

I lifted her chin and said "don't hide your pretty red face"

She laughed before we got down to business. The homework wasn't gonna do itself ya know.

Drained. One word drained. Starline and I just lay on the bed as soon as we were done. That homework took two hours and after that we couldn't even study so we just dumped ourselves on the bed. Being a nerd is hard sometimes and can get real frustrating. I roll over on my side with  my hand supporting my head as I watched Starline. She was deep into thought because she was just staring at the ceiling, when she realised I was watching her she looked at me and our eyes locked. Her eye are so beautiful they are a wild green color and they have this sparkle. I don't know how long we were staring but we got rudely interrupted by my sister.

"Norton I have a date you're suppose to drive me" she said.

"Go away" I said.

"Please" she begged.

"Can't mom drive you?" I asked.

"Really. I don't mom going all girly on me like she did when I told her I had a boyfriend" she said.

"Well your gonna have to do with that I'm tires and busy" I said.

"You are?" She asked then turned her head sideways and saw Starline and smiled.

"Yes I am" I said.

"Okay I'll ask mom" she said smirking and I threw a pillow at her as she left.

"You're sisters pretty" she said.

"Just as you're beautiful" I said and she his her face in my pillow.

I got up and pulled her legs before grabbing her my her waist. I stood with her him my arms and my head on her shoulder. She slide her hand through my hair. I usually hate people to touch my hair but when she does it I like it.

"Come on I wanna show you something." I said taking her hand in mine.

We walked out back hand in had with her red face and our intertwined fingers. I brought her to this huge tree house I had back. I never let anybody go in there it my safe place. I went here earlier on when I was trying to do my homework and couldn't. I wrote a beautiful paragraph to describe Starline before I texted her.

I let her climb up and I went behind her to make sure  she didn't fall. She pushed the trap door open and went in me doing the same. I sat on the  couch and took my chest of many letters. Most were written after my dad died. I was shut out from my family I'd just hide in my room and write what I wish I could have told him before he left. Its my safe have I just write how I feel and put it in this chest then on the anniversary of his death I'd have a box of tissue and some ice cream and I'd spend as much as three hours reading them all over again and crying my eyes out.

I handed her the chest and she looked at it and then at me.

"What's this?" She asked sitting next to me.

"My life" I said.

She smiled at me before opening the box and freezing.

"When do you get time to write this much?" She asked and I chuckled.

"I'm been writing for years and this one is specially for you" I said and pulled the pink envelop covered with designs with a love heart keeping it closed and handed it to her.

She looked at it before placed it on her lap and taking a letter out of the box. She opened it and her eyes glossed over. What a coincidence she got the first letter I wrote on the day my dad died.

"Please don't cry" I said.

"I can't read this" she said placing it back and closing it.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I just can't" she said and it was clear she was hiding a secret.

"Tell me. You can tell me anything" I said.

"My moms husband isn't my father. He's my step dad my dad died in the accident with your father" she said and I looked at her closely.

"Julie?" I asked and she nodded.

I can't believe this. She was my best friend until our fathers died and I never saw her again. I pulled her into my arms as we hug each other tightly and cried on each others shoulder.

7 years. I haven't see her and I'm suddenly with her. Fate has its way with our lives. We pull away and I couldn't believe I didn't notice her.

I smiled at her as I wiped her tear and we went back down. We walked to the kitchen.

"What the hell happened with you two?" My mom asked.

"Mom. This is Julie" I said and she laughed.

"Sweetie stop dreaming. Julie's is probably all the way across the world" she said.

"Mom I'm serious. This is Julie" I said and her face went serious and she just stared at me.

"Wait" I said and went to my room. I pulled the picture frame I had in my bed side table.

I ran back down the stairs and showed mom the picture of nine year old Julie the last day I saw her. She looked at the photo and looked at her.

"How-whe-" she was at lost of words.

Julie walked up to her and hugged her before pulling away.

"Where did you go to?" My mother asked.

"Mom moved us because she couldn't stay in the house it was torture. I started doing drugs and she decodes that we should move again so four months ago we moved here." She said.

I can't believe this is happening.
