Chapter 3
I rolled on my bed. The springs underneath creaked with every movement I made. I heard wolves howling outside my window, my mothers sleeping across the room. Their snores made me sat up. I walked outside my room and inside the kitchen.
I need water. Grabbing a cup and filled it with some sweet tea. I put it inside the microwave and set it for ten seconds. A howl made me jump. It's to close for comfort. I looked outside the window only to met with intense green eyes. Sumo crossed my mind but a large body came out of the woods.
It's a size of a bear but it's a wolf. A dark grey fur with wisps of blonde. The green eyes stared into mine. The beep went off but I didn't grab it. I can't look away from the wolf. Their green eyes are so much familiar. I have seen them somewhere but I'm too tired to remember.
I shook my head and looked away. I grabbed the cup, lukewarm, and walked to my bedroom. I laid back down on my bed taking sips of my tea. After some time I fell back to sleep. Hearing the howls from wolves echoing in my room.

I woke up to a loud knocking. I groaned and looked over at my alarm clock. It's seven in the morning. I have an hour before I need to get to school. Another knock made me groan in my pillow. I got up and tried to brush my hair with my hands as I walked to the front door.
I opened it to see Sumo standing there. A blush crept across my face as I covered my chest. I don't wear shirts to bed. It gets too hot. I looked to the side and saw my jacket. Using all my speed and slipped it on. I gulped and walked back to Sumo.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I figured you could use a ride," Sumo said with a smile.
"I told you. I can't ride motorbikes."
"It's not my bike, Jeffrey. It's a car. See."
Sumo stepped out of the way for me to look. I saw a silver four-door car in my driveway. How did he get a car? How much money does this guy have? Owning both a motorbike and four-door car? Is he Edward Cullen or something? He must have a really good job.
He stepped back into my view. I looked back at my mothers who are nodding. They always want me to have friends. Do they know how fast my heart beats around him? I guess not because they wouldn't let me in his car. I sighed and told him to come inside and wait on the couch. Sumo did so happily.
I rushed back to my room and took off the jacket. I changed out of my night shorts and boxers. Slipping on a light blue button up and brown shorts. I nodded at my outfit. Seeing no creases or wrinkles as good. I put on my shoes, putting my homework in my bookbag and walked out. I shut the door behind me.
Laughter filled my ears. My mom wheezy laugh and my mother's loud laughter. I looked out and saw Sumo warming up to them. I frowned but didn't say anything. Sumo looked back at me almost locking me in place. That can't happen here. I look back to my mothers and prayed that they saw no.
Instead, they said, "Be safe, Jeff. We'll pick you up after school. Love you!"
They are letting me get in the car with this beautiful boy with intense green eyes. We both walked out to his car and sat inside. Sumo started the car but didn't move. He is looking at me. I glanced over and slowly felt the world melt away.
"Can you feel it?" Sumo whispered.
"Feel what exactly?" I asked.
"Staying in place? Feeling the world slip away from our very senses. Only keeping your mind on the person right in front of you."
"It's only when I'm around you."
"The same goes for me."
I frowned, "Why is this happening?"
"If I tell you then you probably won't believe me."
"And you think that because?"
"Jeffrey, everything about you is logic. Me telling you why this is happening could make you run away from me and never come back. I don't want that and I know you don't want that." He said.
He's right. For some odd reason, I don't want that. I don't want to run away from him. I don't want to lose him. I want him to stay by my side forever. I need him to stay by my side forever. He makes me feel safe, protected and warm and fuzzy. Yet, he also makes me feel confused, angry and upset and lost. I can't understand it.
This is logic so I don't understand one bit.
Sumo laughed. Breaking me from my thought process. I looked at him and saw we are moving. When did we start moving? How long have I been thinking? It doesn't feel that long. But then again it could have been longer. They say thoughts take up to much time. At least that what my mom says.
Have I mentioned that she is a hippie?
He pulled up at the school. I looked over at his dashboard and saw we went the speed limit. But how did we get here so fast? Was it because my thought process took to long? Yesterday it took twice the time. Then again we are new to the town but still . . . it makes no sense.
"What are you thinking about?" Sumo asked.
"How we got here. It felt short but yesterday it took twice as long for my mothers. How is that possible?" I asked myself.
"I only drive fast cars."
"Oh really? Couldn't tell."
He laughed, "Will this be on your mind all day, won't it?"
"Yes."
"Good."
I raised my eyebrow, "How is that good?"
Sumo leaned over towards me, "'Cause I'll be on your mind all day. Just me and no one else. That's how it'll be good, Jeffrey."
What he doesn't know. Sumo is always on my mind and has been since I met him. Which was only yesterday! But he doesn't need to know that.
"Will you be on my mind all day?" I asked.
Sumo smiled, "Of course I will be. Besides, you're on my mind all day."
"You barely know me."
"Doesn't mean I don't want too." He said with a shrug. "Don't you want to know me?"
"Yes." I breathed out.
I looked into his intense green eyes. Sumo only smiled at me. My heart slammed against my chest as he leaned closer. His wood scent filled my nose. I feel eyes staring at the back of my head. I grabbed the doorknob behind me and opened it.
What I didn't know is I'm leaning against the door. I fell back on the school parking lot with a yelp. Sumo leaned out the door with a worried face. He held his hand out for me and I took it. Sumo helped me up and brushed off my back.
"Why did you do that?" Sumo asked.
"I dunno," I said quickly.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes."
Sumo smiled by my response. We are still holding hands. I don't think he realized we are until the bell rung. He glared at the school before letting go of my hand. He handed me my bag and motioned for me to go first. Which I did.
I looked down at my hand that is now cold. Without thinking, I reached over and grabbed his hand. From the corner of my eye I saw him smiling. That made me feel good.
