Accidental

Chapter 3

CeCe POV

I felt terrible about rushing out on Gunther like that. I was actually enjoying the dance. It felt almost, magical, that dance.

I ran the entire way home. By the time I got to the apartment building I was breathing heavily. I climbed onto the clackity metal elevator rode it up to our floor.

I stepped off the monstrosity and had a strong desire to kiss the ground, but I had no time. I was so late. I continued running to my apartment.

"Mom, I'm home!" I called. I dropped my red duffel on the floor by the door, then I grabbed a bottle of cold water from the fridge and downed the whole thing.

"Hey, CeCe. So, Flynn is in his room playing," Mom said, while pulling her officers jacket over a light blue shirt. "You know the drill." She kissed my forehead, and dashed toward the door. In the frame she said, "I'll be home late tonight, be sure to get to bed on time. Love you."

"Love you too," I replied. The blond smiled at me and shut the door.

"Is she gone?" Flynn's head poked around the corner.

"Yeah. What are you going to do?" I put my hands on my hips.

"Ratfest Falls is on TV tonight. I'm determined to watch it." Flynn rubbed his hands devilishly. (A/N: Ratfest Falls does NOT exist. I made it up.)

"Does it end before your bedtime?" I asked. I had to at least pretend to be a concerned sister.

Flynn grabbed the remote. "No. It's a three hour long movie." So he would be up for an extra hour.

I sighed. "So long as you get up in time for school tomorrow. No 'five minutes' from you," I chided.

"Okay," Flynn said, all ready absorbed in the flickering images on-screen. I shook my head and took my texts out of my book bag. Even if I was going to get every problem wrong at least I could say I did it, so I set out to complete the grueling task.

xXx

An out later my brain wanted to explode, so I decided to go to bed. I messed up Flynn's brown hair and headed to the bathroom, I really needed a shower. Afterward I flopped down on my bed and fell asleep instantly. I dreamt of ballroom dancing.

Yeah. It's short. Hopefully the next one will be slightly longer.
