Chapter: It Will Be Okay (4)
Exert: “I
need to go take a nap and drink tea!” I try one more time to push past him, but
although he is not too athletic, he made a better wall than door. I almost
pushed pasted him, but as soon as I started running, he wrapped his arms around
me and dragged me back to him.
“Would you stop?” I attempted to
sound forceful, but there was a smile playing at my lips.
“No,” he said hugging me tight,
bending his head into the nape of my neck, the cold frames of his round glasses
brushing against my cheek.
“Well,” I said crossing my arms over
my chest, “tell me what you have to say.”
He brought his head up and smiled.
His breath, warm with a hint of peppermint and chocolate. I wonder what he had
to drink during exams, I thought to myself. “We are doing a movie night in the
main dorm. PJs only. Bring popcorn.”
“That’s all? What movie are we
watching?” I said lifting my eyebrows.
“I have no idea. I just hope it’s
not some documentary about meercats again. I might have to get up and leave if
that is what we are watching.”
I laughed, remembering the last
movie night. I didn’t know meercats could have such dramatic lives.
“Don’t worry,” I said peeling him
off me, “I’ll be there. Let me go grab some stuff.”
He straightened up. He was only a
few inches taller than me. His curly brown hair danced along the top of his
glasses. If it grew any longer, it would surely cover his hazel (I tell him
they are more green but he refuses, arguing that they are hazel).
“Fine then. I shall see you there. I
better not find you holed up in your room,” he said with a parting smile. He
turned on his heel and stalked away.
Update:
Got a little but behind, but caught myself up. I really like where my story is heading as a whole, but I need to fix up a lot of baby details. :)
