You're Such A Liar.
"It's about time you got back, where the hell have you been?" Skip called as I walked through the hut door, freshly showered.
"In the shower."
"Where was the shower, Washington DC?"
"Quit bothering me, I just took a shower, can't you tell?" I rolled my eyes and started getting ready for that night's march.
"Were you having some 'private time'?" Luz nudged me as he walked by. I groaned, beginning to get annoyed.
"No, I was taking a shower."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"That it?"
"For the hundredth time, yes, I was just taking a shower!" I spoke louder so they could all hear me.
"You know, that name really does suit you; Bullshit." Skip smirked across from me.
"Look, the only reason it took so long, was because I bumped into Thea…"
"In the shower?!" Luz whirled around, eyes gleaming.
"Before you even say it, I was there first, she walked in on me."
"She get a good look?" Luz came over and put his arm around my shoulders
"I wasn't naked, George. Anyway, she went to the other end of the showers."
"Wait, wait, wait," Skip stood stock still, "You mean, she still got in the shower?"
"Yeah…"
"She was naked?!" Perconte almost swallowed his toothbrush.
"No, she showered with her clothes on." I replied sarcastically.
"You're kidding me!" Joe Toye rasped, stopping what he was doing too.
"Did you get a good look?"
I sighed, "No George, I didn't."
"Not even a peek?" he suddenly looked like a disappointed father as I shook my head. "You," he paused "are a let-down."
"Gee, thanks Pa."
"You sure you didn't look?" Skip quietly asked me later, a few miles into that night's march.
"You really think I'd tell you if I did?" I mumbled an answer.
"Sure why not?"
I stared at him for a minute, before I shook my head and turned back to look ahead. From my point of view, I could see Thea walking in front of Taylor and Elle. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself when she noticed I was looking her way and pulled a goofy face at me, before turning back to her conversation with Shifty. My heart skipped a beat and my face suddenly felt hot.
Just thinking about the way she walked, the way her hair swung in its ponytail when she walked, the way her lips curled up into a smile, it got my stomach turning. Not in a bad way; it was actually quite a nice feeling.
"Man you have it bad." Skip whispered as we marched in the dark, rainy night. I glanced sideways at him, not understanding what he meant.
"What are you talking about?"
"C'mon, you can't be that stupid." He hissed in my ear. "It's obvious that you like her."
"I don't know what you're talking about Skip."
"Bullshit you don't know what I'm talking about!" I glanced over to him. "You are such a liar."
