I'm only human

War

Brittanys point of view

Zach waves to me from the street before returning inside his car and driving home. He is the sweetest guy and I actually think he is hot. One of the hottest guys at school. His dark hair and those abs. I could live with that.

As I walk back to ms Millers house the sky has turned dark and the fullmoon shines. My shoes has been giving me these blisters all over my heels and I can't even walk to the front door without taking them off. I remove the right shoe first, and when I do I look past my shoulder to see Alvin walking inside his house. He doesn't look at me, he just walks with determinate steps to his yard. All of a sudden I get this feeling I get whenever I see him. I can never tell what this feeling is but it is defenetly something weird. Maybe I should see a doctor for that. He closes the door behind him and I take a deep breath to calm myself. 

The first thing I do when I get inside is throw off my bra that has been itching on my back all day. I throw it next to my bed, and make sure that it doesn't get on Jeanettes side of the room. Yes, I share room with Jeanette. Great? No. But we had this competition with Ms Miller and she said that the one who could handle their housework the best would win their own room. And of course Eleanor won. She spends all her spare time in the kitchen, not that weird that she can do the dishes and cook dinner. Also Jeanette is way too clumsy and I'm just not into the whole cleaning up and in general touching anything gross. So I share my room with Jeanette. 

Ms Miller and my sisters are all asleep, which is not strange considering that its currently 3 am. I put my blonde hair up in a messy bun and take off my makeup. My eyelashes look naked and my skin is red from all the scrubbing when I'm finished. I remove my dress that has been pulling in my tummy the entire night and I can finally breathe again. I put on Zachs hoodie that he doesn't know that I have at home and leve my legs bare.                                                                                                                                              A part of me wish that the hoodie had a certain letter on it though. The first letter in the alphabet particularly.

I wake up the next day to the sound of Jeanettes alarm next to me. She is determined that she will wake up at 8 am every morning because it will help her brain evolve or something. Its probably Simon that has told her all that crap.

-TURN THAT OFF! 

She turns it off and yawn so that I can see both rows of teeth and pulls her arms over her head and stretch her body. I roll my eyes and turn my body the other way in an irritated way. 

Jeanettes point of view

I'm going on a walk with Simon. His name is stuck in my head. Like this big bandaid that I can't seem to remove, but if I would, it would hurt me. His name tickles my stomach. 

Simon.

It has a nice sound to it. I repeat it in my head the entire way downstairs where no-one is up yet. Its too early for the other ones in this house. Its weekend. Oh there it is again, his name in my mind. S I M O N. Maybe it will sound even better if I say it out loud. 

-Simon, I say loud and clear and smile for myself. It sounds even better when you say it loud. It just feels right.

"Yeah?" I hear a voice respond just two seconds later. Simon is standing in the doorway with a curious face. His hair is messy and his glasses are resting on the tip of his nose, but they are more in a 45 degree angle than anywhere near straight. My whole body lights up when I see him and I feel myself blushing. Just then I realize that I just said his name aloud and he thinks that I was trying to get his attention or ask him something. 

-I'm not really ready yet, do you want to come in? I say and he nods his head and then steps inside without saying another word. 

I pour myself a glass of orange juice and I can't help but to wonder if he thinks I'm weird for doing so. He always drinks water because he says that everything other than that are toxic to the system. But he doesnt seem to mind considering he just takes a seat next to me and smile at me. I blush even more now than before. He carefully starts playing with my hair while I take a bite of an apple. I have to stop myself from staring at him while he starts to talk about this new book about space that he has found. He is handsome in a nerdy way, like he doesn't know it, or doesn't care about it. We keep looking into each others eyes until Brittany comes down the stairs to find me laughing at one of his jokes too loud and she reacts immediately.

"Sooo, what are you guys doing? Are you making out?" She says and smirks the biggest she can and grabs a bite from my apple. Simon looks a bit shy and look at the time on his watch. Brittany is wearing her boyfriends hoodie and her hair is a mess but she doesnt seem to mind it, she looks happy. She is never this happy from spending her time with only Zach. Only one person can bring her intros good mood.

-Let me guess, you and Alvin argued and you won? I say and Simon now looks interested. Maybe he wants some dirt on his brother or he is just glad to not be talking about me and him with Brit. I can't tell.

"Close! I went on this double date with Alvin and his date from my cheerleading team, and she got so mad at him for not paying enough attention to her! It was so funny!" She says and looks exited and malicious at the same time. I know she has a boyfriend, but she has always been into Alvin. She always goes on and on about his flirty looks, his dark blonde wavy hair or his ripped body. She is not the only one who has a crush on one of the seville boys. In fact all of us has one, I mean Eleanor is probably marrying Theodore. 

-Brit, do you like Alvin? Simon says out of nowhere, but he doesn't look shy or held back like he did when it was just us, or when Brit first came down to ask if we were making out, ugh what an awkward thing to say. Simon now looks curious and his eyes look the same as when he is looking in a book, he wants information into his constantly developing mind, or just dirt on Alvin.

"PHHHT!!! ME liking Alvin! Are you insane! He is my enemy, the worst person I know! I hate him" she says and then return upstairs with hot and red cheeks. 

-Why don't I believe her? I say and we both laugh before heading out the door for a walk in the sun.
