10

I blinked in the mirror and ran my fingers through my messy, slightly curly hair. That's when it hit me. I smiled crookedly at my reflection in the mirror that copied it.

It's Saturday, no school.

I brushed my teeth grinning to myself. I took a shower then got dressed and headed down the stairs. An aroma of French toast filled the air. I licked my lips and hurried to the kitchen. Dad turned to me smiling as I sat down at the small table quickly with my mouth just watering at the smell. He chuckled placing a plate in front of me.

After we both ate dad told me he had to make copies so he was going to go to the library. He said I could come with or either stay home. I decided to go with him since I might find some nice books there.

As soon as we got there I ran to the books, quietly of course. I skimmed my fingers down the rough looking books. Most books that felt and looked like this are good books. I grabbed a red one and a hand from the other side grabbed it. I blinked and sighed letting go of it. The book was pulled away then a head popped up. Familiar cornflower blue eyes looked at me.

"Clyde?" I said as he jumped gripping the place where the book once stood.

"Hey Oakely," he said grinning.

"Hey," I said waving awkwardly and he laughed walking away making me quirk an eyebrow.

Where'd he go?

"Hey-" I immediately jumped at the noise next to me turning around quickly to find Clyde quirking an eyebrow at me.

"Do-Don't do that," I said rubbing my arm looking down, feeling my face heat up.

"Sorry." he laughed softly. "Also here," he said giving me the book and I shook my head about to hand it back but he put his hands up. "I saw you I thought but I wanted to make sure and wanted to move the book out of the way." he laughed and I nodded giggling.

"Oh, well yeah that was me. So what are you here for?" I asked, immediately regretting the dumb question I just asked.

"Looking at books, you?" he asked.

"Same," I said nodding and he nodded.

"Well I better get going;" he grinned at me before leaving. "See ya Oakely," he said and I waved awkwardly.

"Made a friend?" I jumped and turned around to find my dad chuckling.

"All ready to go?" he asked quirking an eyebrow and I nodded.

Once we got home I texted Bookie then went into my walk-in closet to finish painting it. By the time I was done it was about ten, still in the morning. I checked my phone and groaned to myself finding he text me like an hour ago.

CyberGeek: Sorry, I was painting

BookerBooker: It's fine, painting what?

CyberGeek: The walls

I put my phone down and washed my hands. I got a towel wetting it slightly then wiped off my phone. My phone vibrated and I clicked on his message.

BookerBooker: Oh, cool. I am painting also as well. But not exactly the walls but the paint on them.

CyberGeek: Ooooh I wanna see, I mean um like if you wouldn't mind.

I mentally facepalmed. I need to stop being nosey. But I can't help it. I want to know so much about him.

BookerBooker: Um...I don't know I can tell you what I'm painting.

My heart sank. For the first, my awkwardness has weirded him out. I chewed my lip and typed.

CyberGeek: No no it's fine, so um started that book yet?

BookerBooker: Actually, yeah I have. But I think it sucks.

CyberGeek: Can I read it?

BookerBooker: *groans clearing my throat* Liam was a bee who wanted another bee. Nope, not a female bee. Not the queen bee. A male bee is what he wanted. Why am I talking about bees? Well because of the birds and the bees of course. This story is all about how I became gay and um...the birds and the bees....and um lol half kidding. My school's mascot is a bee. And I like a male bee. Yeah, us students are called, bees.

CyberGeek: *claps hands blushing* AMAZING

BookerBooker: You're just saying that it sucks.

CyberGeek: No it doooon't *huffs crossing my arms*

BookerBooker: I bet anyone could write better.

CyberGeek: Let me try and watch me fail

BookerBooker: Lol I bet you won't but okay Cy

I felt my heart flip-flop as my face heated up. I smiled and hummed to myself thinking. But I couldn't exactly think about a story with him calling me Cy being on my mind.

CyberGeek: Umm. Riley was new to this school. He wanted to fit in so he thought the best and quickest way to make friends was to join something after school. Which was soccer since he loved soccer.....And this sucks. *laughs awkwardly and rubs the back of my neck*

BookerBooker: Lol, no it doesn't. I like it

And just like that, a smile made its way on my face. By only three simple words from him, my heart went flip-flop and felt like it was pounding out of my chest almost. But not in the way it would like if I was scared.

CyberGeek: Thank you *giggles then covers my mouth* I didn't giggle

BookerBooker: Lol, whatever you say

CyberGeek: *pouts* You laughed

BookerBooker: Noooo

CyberGeek: Yeeesss

BookerBooker: Maybe

CyberGeek: *scoffs crossing my arm pouting more*

BookerBooker: Lol *ruffles your hair*

My face heated up more. I gulped as my heart went out of control. My neck felt hot too. I ran my fingers through my hair imagining him ruffling my hair made my heart go crazy and my face only grow hotter. I hate when people ruffle my hair. But imagine him do it... I don't think I'd mind.

CyberGeek: Uwa-Uwah *looks down*

BookerBooker: Oh, sorry *stuffs my hands in my pockets*

CyberGeek: N-No, it's fine just a little flustered *puffs out my cheeks*

BookerBooker: Lol, alright *smiles and pokes your cheeks* Boop

My eyes widen and my heart felt like it was under attack. Heat slowly crept up my neck and added on to the heat already on my cheeks, probably my face too..... well my cheeks are apart of my face- That's beside the point! It was too hot which made me even more embarrassed.

CyberGeek: Gaaaah *shakes you* Stoooop *pouts*

BookerBooker: Wooooah, lol sorry

CyberGeek: *huffs* It's not funny, your putting my heart under attack

Mentally facepalm and physical facepalm. Did I, just say that and sent it. Why do I have to be so awkward and weird?

BookerBooker: *quirks an eyebrow* And how am I doing that?

I huffed puffing out my heated cheeks. Am I the only one getting these weird feelings? That's not fair if that's true.

CyberGeek: Gaaah nevermind

BookerBooker: :( did I make you upset?

Aww noooo. The frown it's making me sad. And some reason my heart flip-flopping like the usual weird thing it does.

CyberGeek: Nooo :( it's just me, don't worry about it

BookerBooker: When you say don't worry about it I'm automatically going to worry.

I huffed grumbling to myself. He has to be complicated. What am I suppose to say?

CyberGeek: It's nothing, I promise.

BookerBooker: *quirks an eyebrow* Hmm okay *wraps my pinkie around yours*

My hands began to tingle. I bet my face was completely red now. But I couldn't help the smile that crept onto my face. I hummed softly smiling as I typed.

CyberGeek: *smiles and squeezes gently*

BookerBooker: *squeezes back* You still been keeping my secret?

CyberGeek: *huffs pouting* Of course, do you doubt me?

BookerBooker: Lol no, just making sure

CyberGeek: Is it weird that lol annoys me slightly?

BookerBooker: Lo- How come?

CyberGeek: I don't know, why can't you just laugh or giggle like I do

BookerBooker: Oooh I see, this question is actually pointed directly to me

CyberGeek: Nooooo, no it's not I was setting an example

I pouted then frowned. Ugh, I always mess up somehow. I groaned rolling around a bit in my bed.

BookerBooker: *laughs* I was joking....can't do it. This is weird lol

CyberGeek: You're weird

BookerBooker: No, *laughs* is weird lol

CyberGeek: Your face is weird

Good one Oakely. Good, come back. I mentally facepalmed.

BookerBooker: Omg lol, one that is rude. Two you've never seen my face.

CyberGeek: Yeah but I want to

I typed what was on my mind. I didn't think anything of it until I realized what I typed. But it was too late. I had already sent it. My face heated up and I began to freak out.

BookerBooker: Umm.I don't know

My heart slightly dropped. I weirded him out, didn't I..... I didn't mean to do that.

CyberGeek: I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make things awkward or weird.

BookerBooker: It's okay

He said it was. And maybe he meant it. But it wasn't okay for me.

CyberGeek: Okay ummm....so what do you want to talk about?

BookerBooker: I don't know, I have to go take the trash out. I'll be back, see ya

CyberGeek: See ya

I turned off my phone closing my eyes. I sighed and sat up, laying my back against the wall. I grumbled to myself and opened my eyes sighing again. As awkward as I am...I hope he didn't leave because of the whole face thing. Which now to think about it, is super creepy. But I'd send a picture of me.....ugh but I'd be scared and nervous too. I groaned burying my face in my knees in thought.

"Oakely, bug!" Dad called and I slowly got off my bed then followed where I heard the noise.

"Yes, dad?" I asked once I went down the stairs.

"What do you want for lunch?" he asked looking in the fridge when I walked into the kitchen.

"Umm well, what do we have?" I asked humming.

"We have lot's of stuff," he said and I rolled my eyes smiling.

"Well, I guess I can have a sandwich and some lemonade," I said.

"Turkey burger it is," he said and I rolled my eyes again.

"Why ask me if you're going to pick?" I asked and he chuckled as I shook my head.

"I'll call you down when its ready," he said and I nodded then rushed back up the stairs.

I flopped down on my bed and turned on my phone. No notifications. I frowned slightly and sighed turning it off dropping my arm down, dropping my phone down lightly on the bed by me.

I forced myself up and decided I needed to do something productive.

-.- Like homework Oakely.

I grumbled staring down at my backpack that was mostly unzipped. It laid on the floor with books, notebooks, etc halfway spilling out.

Mom always said do your homework....which was chores plus homework she either made for me or found in schoolbooks.

I decided to do my homework. Which of course I was going to do anyways maybe on Sunday....night. Mom has always hated that I procrastinated, which only happened sometimes. One day I might finish my work in class or the same day I get it and other days I wait to do it late at night the day before it needs to be turned in to mom....well when I was homeschooled.

I don't know when, or how. But I fell asleep I guess. I opened my eyes feeling my cheek slightly feel sticky and something was slightly stuck on it. I pulled my phone from my cheek lightly. I made a face at the dried spit. I wiped some off my cheek feeling my face heat up from embarrassment. And that's when it hit me. Bookie might have text me. What time was it anyway?

I turned on my phone. Instead of looking at the time my eyes landed on the notifications. Which there were three texts from Bookie. I huffed and then glanced at the time, which was 2:30- 2:31 p.m. now. I clicked on the notifications getting taken straight to our messages.

BookerBooker: Hey, I'm back
2 hours ago

BookerBooker: I'm guessing your busy?
1 hour ago

BookerBooker: Or possibly have you fallen asleep? Because it says your texting but disappeared....I'm not a stalker A SWEAR! Lol
45 minutes ago

I giggled shaking my head. A smile made its way to my face. I glanced over at my nightstand to find a plate with a sandwich on it with potato wedges and on the side was a pack of ketchup. There was also a glass of lemonade.

I grinned taking the plate and placed it on my legs, sitting up with my back laying against the wall. I text Bookie as I took a bite out of my sandwich.

CyberGeek: I did fall asleep *giggles and rubs my arm* Sorry but um....hey

I chewed after sending it then swallowed. I took a second bite, waiting for a reply. After my third bite, I picked up my glass of lemonade and sipped some, hearing my phone vibrate. I picked up my phone as I put my glass down, turning on my phone.

BookerBooker: *laughs* Hey Cy :)

I felt my cheeks heat up as a smile made its way on my lips.

CyberGeek: Hey Bookie :)
