chapter 7

Being with Timothée felt like a dream, he said the most intelligent and interesting things, he was also mysterious and confusing.

I knew I could learn to hate him, but I could also learn to love him.

I brought him to my favorite places. The Chocolate Ox was an old fashioned candy and ice cream shop. We stopped there so he could look around.

We walked inside and Timothée turns to me. "Places like this give me a rush of nostalgia, you know, I'm not sure if it's pleasant or stressful. maybe both." His sudden epiphany made me think as well.

Finally I said "I love it when someone makes me think."

He frowned and turned around to check out the candy. He really is confusing.

I hear the bells above the door chingle and turn to see Atticus walk in with a girl that looked about our age.

"Hello Kennedy Claire!" he said seeming uninterested. "Hi Atticus" I replied cheerily.

"Where's Xander? I thought he'd be with you." Atticus questioned.

"I'm giving Timothée a tour right now."

"Xander would be jealous if he found out." he says and gestures toward Timothée who is paying for his ice cream.

"Who's the girl?" I ask him and he notices she's walking away.

"Her name's Nicole and she's our new neighbor apparently, she will talk to Xander but not me." He says, and glances at Nicole.

"Okay, that's expected" I say with a with a small smile.

"Very funny Kennedy Claire" he says and rolls his eyes.

He sees Timothée walking over and he makes his way over to Nicole.

"I'm tired, can we cut the tour off here?" Timothée says.

"Sure." I'm disappointed but I'm tired anyway so I agreed.

We both biked away from the store, he went towards the town square and I went towards the house.

While I biked I had nothing to do but think.

Timothée made me understand things that I hadn't thought about before. He was what I would call an intellectual. When I was younger I loved to read, but when I turned 13 I lost interest.

I bet Timothée liked to read, I always thought people who read a lot kept secrets. I wonder if we could ever be close enough for me to learn his secrets.

After getting home at around 4:00pm I took a long nap, when I woke up it was already getting dark. I checked my phone for the time and it was already 8:30pm, I knew I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep for awhile.

I noticed that I had some texts and snapchat notifications I was too lazy to answer.

I wondered if Xander was jealous. Was he jealous of me? or was he jealous of Timothée.

Maybe Timothée likes guys, but i saw him dancing with girls at the club. Maybe if I don't have a chance Xander does.

I shouldn't be thinking that, Xander and I are basically boyfriend and girlfriend. Maybe I don't like him as much as I thought...
