We walked out into the kitchen. I sat on a bar stool around the island. I watch him as he fixed himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then another and then another.
"Derek."
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Mid night snack." I looked at the peanut butter sandwiches stacked up on the now full plate.
"Some snack." He chuckled while I giggled. He handed me the peanut buttery butter knife and sat down beside me with his PB&J filled plate.
"What? No snack for me?"
"Only a nibble." He said while handing me a sandwich. We ate in silence for a couple seconds.
As I ate I thought about what kit said. "Derek?"
"hmm?"
"If my name wasn't Chloe, what would it be?"
He grunted as to say "hold on."
After he swallowed he answered "Use your mom's name."
"Hmm… call me Jennifer."
"Jennifer…"
"Yep, that's the name I'll use."
He nodded and took another bite. When we finished, we watched TV til Mr. Bae suggested we go to sleep early.
-I slept through to night in a dreamless sleep.-
I woke up to the sound of someone pounding on a door, "Dang it, Tori! You've been in there for an hour now! You're not the only one here! Other people have to use it to! Simon yelled at Tori through the bathroom door. "Tori! Hurry up! I have to pee!"
"There's trees outside."
"Tori!"
"Fine." I heard the click of the door opening.
"Finally."
"Whatever." Tori walked in the room. "Oh, sleeping beauty's awake." Tori stated as she reached for the blow dryer.
I sat up and yawned. "Morning. What's the time?"
"9 something, so get up. We're leaving at noon."
Up, showered and fed, I was sitting on my bed, packing my things. Suddenly, a drop of water fell on my hand. I looked up and squeaked. I jumped and landed on the floor with a "thump!" I looked up and saw Derek. "I was in front of you this time." Derek grinned.
I got up slowly. "Thanks." I said sarcastically. I look up at Derek. He had on jeans and green T-shirt with a towel around his neck. Hair dripping wet and emerald green eyes feverish.
"Are-"
"No, I'm not changing today."
"Maybe, we should asked your dad if we could can leave tomorrow instead."
"No need, because I'm not changing today and plus, it's only a 3 hour drive, Chloe."
