Chapter 9

Will got up, slightly blushing, "I'm glad you're okay, Esme." He said leaving the room.
For the next few days, Esme and Will would turn away and blush whenever they saw each other. Whenever they sat down for dinner, it seemed like, they would always sit next to each other and when the time came to hold hands and bless dinner they would look away and start blushing like school kids having a crush on each other. They smiled nervously at each other when their hands accidently touched when they were washing the deck. For the first time, in two centuries, Esme was feeling true human emotions. Esme remembered her first crush, Adam Wilson, he had nerdy glasses, long trousers, and black biker haircut. He used to tag her on the play ground and then run. She thought he liked her but she saw him kiss Melina Santiago on the cheek. Devastated, she avoided him for the rest of the 1st grade. In the 6th grade, she had a crush on the hottest guy in school, Skander Coleman; she knew she had no hope with him because the homecoming bitch, Cynthia Scott, had him in a cats cradle. As Esme was reliving the past, she caught sight of Will. God, he was so beautiful, sweet, charming, and smart. "That does it," Esme thought sternly to herself, "I'm tired of going around Will and acting like a school girl having her first crush, it's time to take it to the next level." Esme decided and with that she took off toward her cabin to change.
