After a couple hours of beating Seth at Playstation over and over Melanie got bored. So she and Seth talked, she liked his wit and hilarity, she didn't think he was that bad looking either. With his dark brown hair, slightly curled and his deep eyes that explained everything and nothing—
What was she thinking? She couldn't love Seth, there was no way she was going to let herself get attached to anyone and go through heartache.
"And there's a great skate park..." Seth rambled.
Melanie snapped back into reality, "Oh cool, I like to skateboard."
"Really? I never knew girls liked to skateboard! Oooh that was sexist, sorry, it's just most of the girls here are kinda..."
"Materialistic." Melanie offered.
"Yeah." Seth grinned. "And preppy...I had a great girlfriend but," he frowned, "she has a new boyfriend now."
Melanie felt bad for him, this is why she musn't get close to anybody but Ryan.
"I'm sorry dude." She smiled at him.
Seth smiled back, "Thanks."
Melanie threw a pillow at him. Seth looked at her and grinned. He came at her with two pillows and hit her with them. She ducked under her arms and tried to run away but Seth grabbed her around the waist and swung her around. Melanie laughed.
Seth leaned forward and Melanie jerked back.
"Erm...sorry.." Seth blushed.
"S'okay." Mel replied hastily.
Ryan walked in and looked at the pillows.
"What the hell have you been doing?" He asked looking from Melanie to Seth.
"Nothing." They said at the same time.
Mel looked at him and laughed. Ryan shook his head.
"Let's go skating." Seth said, looking at Ryan eagarly.
Ryan shook his head. "No. dude, you gotta study too."
Before Seth could even open his mouth Mel stood up for him.
"What are you, his mom? C'mon Ry. It could be fun!"
Ryan pushed them out the door.
"I guess it's just us then." Seth said grabbing his skateboard.
Melanie nodded and dug through her bag and found hers. The skated to the park and when they got their they tried their hardests to show off for each other without even realizing it.
When they got back Ryan pulled Seth aside.
"Do you have a thing for my sister?" He asked.
"What? Like a crush? N-no man, she's just cool." Seth spluttered out.
Ryan looked at him curiously and then look at Mel sitting on the couch. He loved Seth like a brother, and so wasn't that like Seth and Melanie were related? But they barely knew each other...this could get interesting.
Sorry it took so long! I had problems with this chapter. I'll try and get the next chapter up sooner!
