Chapter 7
Later Vincent found himself outside at the picnic table typing up an assignment on his laptop. He couldn't help but think about his encounter earlier that day in the coffee shop. Especially about that one girl, Laura.
I can't be thinking like this. She's too young, Vincent told himself. There's something seriously wrong with me…
He then heard the sound of walking and saw Peter from the corner of his eyes.
"So…" Peter said taking a seat on the bench next to him.
"So what?" Vincent said not looking away from the screen.
"How was your day?"
"I already said 'good'."
"You seem different."
"How?"
"I don't know. Well, maybe you seem a littler more cheerful since you came back here."
"Peter, I know you're my brother but right now I'm too busy and too distracted to talk."
"Students got you worked up?"
"No."
"Anybody have a grudge against you?"
"No."
"Did you by any chance-?"
"PETER!"
"Oh my god! It's a girl!" Peter exclaimed.
"Peter…"
"So did I miss anything?" Kyle said lighting a cigarette and walking towards the two.
"Nothing, except that Vincent has a crush on a girl!" Peter said in a sing-song voice.
"PETER!" Vincent yelled angrily.
"Really?" Kyle said surprised.
"No! I mean, what is with the two of you! And Peter, you've really got me worried. Ever since I've come back you've been acting like you did in high school."
"Vincent this is about you," Peter said.
Kyle then responded, "We just want to see you happy."
"Yeah," Peter agreed.
"So who is she?" Kyle asked.
"Nobody."
"You're in love with an invisible woman?"
"Peter!"
"Calm down!"
"Look, I just talked to a girl who works at the coffee shop for a moment. That's it. Happy now!"
"What's her name?"
"You two are hopeless."
"What is it?"
"Laura. Laura Mitchell!" he yelled standing up and walking back towards the house with his laptop and closing the door behind him.
"He's in love," Peter said taking a drink from this soda.
"You sure?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah. I just can't believe he got over Carole so quickly."
They were left speechless.
