"What happened to you and Beca?" I ask as I drive Chloe to the diner. We're meeting her parents for lunch.
"Nothing happened," She replies as she stares out the window.
"You didn't hug her goodbye," I state flatly.
"She doesn't like to be hugged." She bites back. I can hear her eyes roll on her voice. I scoff.
"You didn't care before. Why do you care now?"
"I figured that maybe I should start respecting other people's personal boundaries."
"Chloe-"
"Can we just drop it? I'm on my period." She snaps.
"You were dancing around the apartment five days ago because you period was over."
"I just don't wanna talk about it. It'll be over in like a week or something." I sigh.
"Fine. But if you keep being weird after this week is up, I'm gonna make you spill." We get out of the car and walk into the diner. Chloe's parents rush to greet us with hugs and I can't help but to smile. I'm guessing Chloe can't help it either since she's beaming.
I have a feeling that smile won't last long when we get home.
I was right. I think as the smile on Chloe's face and the sparkle in her eyes disappear. They left almost as soon as she looked at her phone, and she's still staring at it.
"What're you staring at?" I ask as I sit next to her on the couch. I peek at her screen and my eyes are met by a black haired vampire and a pink haired princess kissing. Of course she has a Bubbline picture as her background. But if I can see her background, then there's nothing. Chloe blinks when her screen goes black.
"What were you staring at?" I ask again. She puts her phone away.
"Nothing." She says quickly.
"Well, I saw that. But you seemed upset that nothing was covering that picture."
"It's just upsetting that even though the producer of Adventure Time announced that Marceline and Bonnie dated, they can't show any of their relationship."
"Nothing else?"
"Nope. I'm a little tired. Gonna be an early night for me." She says quietly. "Night"
"Night." I reply as I watch her walk to her room.
I'll keep my ears open tonight... In case she needs me.
I write the chapters at school the day they're posted. That's why there wasn't anything over the weekend, lol. We had to do a paper in English today on how to write a proper sentence. Pssh, I'm pretty sure being a freshman in high school that constantly writes I know how to write a sentence. *To all high school English teachers* If you're student doesn't know how, I pity you.
