Not a shorty anymore

XIII[Cleaning the Theatre]

After our fight we made up and went our separate ways. I walked home and climbed through my window. As I jump down from the windowsill and close the window I turn around slowly and see Harper sitting up on her bed, "Welcome home." I freeze, "Heyyy Harpppp." I smile awkwardly. She stands up, "Where were you? What did you do? Did you get kidnapped? What happened to you?-" "HARPER enough with the questions. You are doing the thing where you don't stop asking questions until someone stops you or you pass out."

Harper stopped talking after I cut her off and took a breath, "Sorry it's just difficult to see my sister sneaking out of our window late at night then coming back almost two hours later." I sit in front of her, "We have an open relationship right?" She nodded, "Of course. We can tell each other anything." 

I took a deep breath, "Okay so, I went out to get my mind off things and think about what I should say to Jack.. then he showed up out of nowhere and we talked it out a little bit.." She nodded, "And?" 

"Well to make a short story even shorter I think our first fight has blown over." She clapped her hands and squealed, "Hey hey hey shhh, it's too early to be loud Harper." She calmed down, "Right I forgot." 

I laughed a little bit and looked at my phone.

Can you sneak out again tonight? 

Well now its morning.

So this morning?

sure. why?

Remember that we are going to work on getting the Theatre back into shape?

oh yeah that. what are we gonna do exactly?

I was thinking we could clean it. 

cool ill meet you outside the school.

Cool love you.

love you too.

I put my phone down and look at Harper. She's sneezing up a storm. I get her allergy meds and hand them to her, "Thank you." She said in between sneezes. I nodded, "Now if you will excuse me." I walked back to the window. 

As I was halfway out of the window Harper went over to me. Before she said anything, "Jack wants to do something. and NO NOT THAT." I whisper shout that last part, "I have my school stuff and my phone. I'll be safe I promise." 

She sighed and turned away, "I'll cover for you." I smiled a little bit, "Thank you Harp." I hop all the way down from the window. As I'm walking to school I listen to my music in my headphones. I'm dancing along the sidewalk and lightly singing the music, "Oh baby I can feel the rush of adrenaline I'm not scared to jump if you want to." 

"Let's just fall in love for the hell of it." I hear someone say behind me I scream a little bit and turn around, it's Jack. "Jesus you scared me." I take out my headphones, "Why don't we huh?" i nod, "Do you expect any less of me?" I joke a little bit.

"No not really." He put an arm around my shoulders as we continued walking, "Are you excited to clean the Theatre?" I shrug, "Kind of I don't really like cleaning. I mean you saw Harper and I's room. Half is clean half is a mess." 

He laughed a little bit, "I think it's cute that you aren't perfect. I mean pobodies nerfect." I laughed a little bit and rolled my eyes. "It's gonna be a long day if you keep up the jokes." He laughed a little bit, "Well longer time with you for me then."

I lightly smack his arm, "You are so weird." He kissed my head, "And you love me for it." I smiled, "Ehhh sometimes." He acted offended, "Sometimes?!?" I roll my eyes and keep walking. 

When we get to the school we have to sneak in. We open the front door (Thanks to Jack putting his student card in between the door where the lock is) and quietly ran... if that's even possible.. to the theatre room. 

"This place is a mess and a half.." I mumbled as Jack walked in, "Yeah... but we got this." I nodded, "Sure...."
