Opposites Attract

Chapter 10

                                                               "Ethan"

I woke up for school on Monday unusually happy. In fact I had been unusually happy all weekend. I jumped out of the bed and began getting dressed for the day. I put on some short cargo shorts and a short sleeve ‘Bird is the Word’ t-shirt. I threw on my lime green converse with it and I was ready to go to the bathroom.

            I brushed my teeth first. Then I went to work on my hair. I hated brushing my hair. It was always really tangled in the morning and it hurt really bad to brush it out. I finally managed to get it done and I threw it into a bun at the top of my head. I thought it looked pretty good so I walked back into the hallway.

            “You ready,” mom asked me.

            “Yes I am,” I said with a smile.

            “What’s up with you,” she asked.

            “Nothing. Why?”

            “You just seem weird. Sophie is here to pick you up,” she said after a minute.

            “Cool,” I said with a nod as I grabbed my bag and walked out the door.

            “Hey,” I said as I jumped into Sophie’s car.

            “Hey,” she said with a small smile as she pulled away.

            “I’m sorry we left the other night,” I said.

            “It’s ok. I expected it,” she said still smiling.

            “It was just a little too weird for us.”

            “I understand,” she said with a laugh. “I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of your night though.”

            “How do you know that,” I asked.

            “I can see it in your aura. You’re extremely happy,” she said as she looked over at me.

            “Huh,” was all I said as I looked out the window.

            “So what made you so happy,” she asked.

            “I don’t really know,” I said with a shrug.

            “Sure you don’t,” she said sarcastically.

            “I don’t,” I said fiercely.

            “It has nothing to do with a certain black haired boy,” she asked.

            “No,” I said quietly.

            “If you can tell anyone then you can tell me,” she said gently as she looked over at me again.

            “I know but there’s really nothing to tell,” I said as we pulled into the school parking lot.

            “Ok,” she said with a sigh as we parked and got out. I was a little less happy than before.
