Yesterday, Nolan forgave me for my ignorance and slightly harsh assumptions after I bought him two – not one, but two – chocolate ice cream cones. That boy can really eat. I gladly paid the ten bucks per ice cream cone – they were really big – so Nolan would consider forgiving me. Thankfully, he didn’t put my offending words against me. Nolan said that we all make mistakes and I had to learn about the subject one way or another. He’d gladly enlighten me on the subject of the LBGT.
Seriously, I’m kidding. For two hours, Nolan told me all about what could be considered offensive and even went as far as explaining to me about the different sexualities that I was unaware of. I’m not going to lie; that year in the hospital changed me. I forgot all about what I had learned when it came to people. I thought I was dying and became selfish. I had every right to. I was only supposed to have six months after the chemo didn’t work. Thankfully and unfortunately, I got a donor heart before that six months was up.
I didn’t tell Nolan this, though. I just explained that being out of public school and not being able to access the Internet for anything but schoolwork left me naïve. Technically, I wasn’t lying. I literally only had enough energy to complete my school assignments and then passed out. Some days I didn’t have to energy to even open my eyes. I basically shut myself out from the world. I was very naïve, because a lot had changed in the year I had missed.
“Hey, Evelyn, Nolan.” Connor slung his arm around Nolan’s shoulder and mine. I groaned internally. The twins had been walking Nolan and I to and from class all day today. I thought we’d be able to sneak away before lunch, but obviously they’d be joining us.
“Hey, Connor.” Nolan seemed way too happy to have his ultimate dream guy touching him. I let a smile grace my lips. I could handle the twins if it meant letting Nolan have his eye candy.
“Hey Evie.” Owen slipped his arm around my waist, causing me to blush fire truck red. It was safe to say if Owen kept up acting like he has been all this morning, I’d be dying of a heart attack. Just thinking that made me want to scream and cry and break a lot of things.
“Hey, Owen.” I smiled slightly at him. What can I say? I just look at him and swoon.
“What, no greeting for me?” Connor pouted down at me. I could see myself liking Connor. He’s just so adorable, even if he looks like a badass. Looks can be deceiving, and that was obvious when it came to the twins.
“Hi, Connie.” I cooed and pinched his cheeks. I laughed a little when I saw his scowl.
“Why does he get a nickname?” Owen took his arm away from my waist and crossed it with his other arm. I rolled my eyes. Boys.
“Okay, Owen. You can be,” I paused for dramatic effect, “Owie.”
“Hell no, you can come up with something better than that.” Owen snorted.
“How about O-Bear?” I supplied.
“Okay, E-Bear.” He smiled and dragged me out from under Connor’s arm, so he could have his arm around my waist. We were really close to each other, and I couldn’t say that I didn’t like how his body heat warmed up my cold skin. I’m naturally cold, because my heart problems resulted in low circulation.
“Okay, you two love birds,” Cue tomato blush, “let’s get to lunch I’m starving.” Nolan walked out from under Connor’s arm and basically ran to the cafeteria ahead of us.
I saw Connor’s face become disappointed. Was it because Nolan left his side? My eyes widened. I didn’t think my eyes could get any bigger, but when I saw the disappointment replaced with longing as he watched Nolan run away, they doubled in size. Was Connor secretly crushing on Nolan?!
“There’s a lot you don’t know, E-Bear.” Owen leaned down and whispered in my ear. I held back a shiver. He is like a living, breathing Hollister model. Seriously, those boys on the Hollister bags had to be fake. There’s no way any guy could look that heavenly. It was probably a work of photoshop. I wonder if Owen used real life photoshop. Would that be plastic surgery?
“I plan on investigating then, O-Bear.” He just smiled and laughed a little in response.
I swear he is so perfect.
