Beth sat on her bed, ready for sleep. Resting her head on her pillow, she was determined not to let her mind wander like it always did every night, because then it'd take hours for her to get to sleep.
"Just go to sleep!" She whispered furiously to herself. She tried thinking about nothing, and the lack of stuff she was thinking about, but soon a memory popped into her mind, as if her brain were to say "Yo, we haven't talked about this chiz enough yet."
It was THAT memory. Again she saw her best friend kiss her... other best friend. She tried to block the image from her mind, but it reappeared.
She had wondered where the singing had come from, and noticed Plum had left the room, so she followed, but before she could exit out the door, she saw Plum lean forward, lips first, into Chris! And he didn't stop her! "I mean," she thought to herself, "It's not like I CARE if they date, but they did it behind my back!"
Then a small part of her brain whispered back, "Are you sure that's the ONLY reason you care."
"Shut up brain! Shut up! Shut up!"
"Are you sure it didn't have to do with the fact that..."
She cut off her own thought by pushing her pillow in her face and screaming as loud as she could. Silence followed for a second.
Then the door burst open as Chris ran in the room. "I was nearby when I heard you scream, is everything OK?"
Beth sat up straight when she heard Chris's voice. They looked at each other, then Chris blushed and looked to the side. "You, might... uhh... wanna..." He pointed at her.
She looked down to see that she was in her underware only, since she was to lazy to put on real P.J.s after the long day. She hastily covered herself with her blanket, red cheeks ablaze.
"Ehhm, well, if everything's cool, I'll just, umm..." Chris turned to walk back out, the sentence left hanging.
"Wait, Chris!" She exclaimed.
His head turned back to her, quickly. "Yeah?" He asked.
"Uhhh... umm, just, goodnight..." She said, after much faltering.
"Right, well, goodnight." He said, obviously disappointed.
As the door slid behind him, she slammed her head back against the pillow, a single tear rolling down her face.
As the door slid closed behind him, he put his back to the wall and slid down. Placing his head in his lap, he silently berated himself for not saying more, not being smoother, and for having seen her so indecently. She probably thought he was a pervert now. After a few minutes, he got up and walked to his room, where he would have a few hours of dreaming of every way he could win Beth over, each one less likely than the last.
AN: OK, there will be a chapter 2, but my laptop is about to die and I want to get this submitted now! Please, tell me what you think. I just started watching this series yesterday, and it's already captured my heart.
