-Kittey's POV-
I just kinda stared at Cody. I couldn't believe he was talking to me. After all of the staring, since the second day of school, I never imagined would be sitting here, talking to him! Cody's voice was so soft and sweet, totally not what I was expecting.
Then, I realized I hadn't answered his question; I'd just been staring at him.
I mentally shook myself, then answered, "Yea, totally ready. It looks like this could be a pretty good semester. And you?"
He looked away and said, "Yes." And then he looked at me as he said, "It is looking pretty good."
I felt my cheeks go pink and had to look away. His eyes were making me a little self-conscious. They're a brilliant lightning-bolt blue, an amazing color I'd never seen in eyes before. When he looks at me, it's like he sees straight through me, to my soul. It's kind of a rush.
When I looked back towards him, he was wearing this gorgeous half smile, as if he knew what I was thinking.
"Sooo…" he said.
"Sooo… You have a sister, right?" I couldn't think of anything else to say, really. So, I started with the obvious.
"Ummm… Yea…?" His answer turned into a question. I now felt stupid for asking the question.
I felt so stupid that I leaned over, grabbed my book from under my desk, and started reading. Sure, it was rude, but when I feel stupid, I then become rude.
He chuckled and I glared at him from the corner of my eye. "Her name is Lilly. And…" I looked back at him and closed my book, realizing he'd forgiven me. "We're twins," he finished. I felt my eyes widen a bit in shock.
Again, he chuckled, this time at my expression. "Yea, I know. She looks a couple years younger and she hates that! Haha! I, on the other hand, love it! Gives me more of an excuse to tease her."
"Mm-hmm," I said, in a kind of detached voice. Cody noticed, of course. There was curiosity in his eyes.
"Do you not have any siblings to tease?" he asked gently.
"No. Not anymore," I said softly. I felt tears start to spring up in my eyes, so I sunk down into my chair.
"Why? What happened?" he asked in an even softer, gentler voice.
"Ummm…" I hadn't really talked about my brother Lucas since his funeral. "He got hit…by a drunk semi-truck driver." I could feel several pairs of eyes suddenly boring into my back and turned around, glad for a distraction. Of course, the three 'popular' girls were glaring straight at me, jealous that I was talking and sitting with this beautiful boy next to me. Their glares turned darker as I made eye contact with each of them. I, in turn, glared menacingly at them. Shock and disbelief were shown on their faces. All at the same time, the stuck their tongues out at me, turned to each other, and started chatting like the little twits they are.
