“How’s pink sound?” I asked.
“Nah to little kid-ish” She replied.
We are standing there looking at the blank wall. I arrived over at Elodie’s this morning to help her decorate her room since she had to move house a month ago for her father's job. Nobody really knows what Elodie’s father does for work, but we all assume it’s very important seeing he is always running late for a ‘meeting’ or ‘appointment’.
“You know what” She crosses her arms and leans back, “I’m gonna paint it red!”
“Red!?” I almost cough in shock “What are you some kinda rock star!?”
She laughs and grabs the red paint and starts painting the white wall.
“Okay whatever you say my little interior designer!” I scoff and ruffle her curly, golden-brown hair. She looks up at me with her amber eyes almost like fire. Her face is covered in tiny freckles with the tiny birthmark on the side of her cheek.
“Oi, as an interior expert, my expertises believe you should be putting together some furniture.” She gives me the look that speaks ‘I may be mocking you but seriously get to work stupid’.
“Yes Sir!” We laugh as I reach for my headphones which are resting on the windowsill. I put on my headphones and blast Lana Del Rey through my ears while I put together the black bed frame. About a minute later I feel a light tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see Elodie, so I take off my headphones. “I’ve gotta head out, been called into work.” She rolls her eyes, “I’ll be back in a few hours, love you.” She says before leaving the room. I got too caught up in her eyes again I forgot to reply. I put my headphones back on and get back to building the bed frame. A few seconds later I feel another tap on my shoulder. “Love you-“ Ibegin to reply to her, but I see Storm, Elodie’s older brother instead. Her smirks down at me, “you love me?” He says sarcastically. He laughs, “don’t worry I know who that was meant for.” He says softly looking down at my lips. My breath shudders as he moves in closer. We are inches away before he finally closes the gap with a kiss. My eyes are still open in shock. He pulls away and stares softly at my bright green eyes. I gaze back at his. His eyes are ice blue, and his hair looks just like Elodie’s hair. He doesn’t have as many freckles as Elodie but the ones who does have runs up and around his nose. “I should probably go before Elodie gets back; I’ll see you around” He winks at me as he leaves the room. I stand there stupidly just realising I was holding a wrench the entire time. I kick myself on the back of the foot and drop the wrench. I have so many questions. I think I liked it. But I’m not sure. I then think of Elodie. Is it possible that I like guys and girls? I dismiss the thought as just a strong sign of affection towards my best friend which I’ve had ever since 4th grade. I grab my headphones from my neck and put the back on. A smile strikes across my face as I think of Storm then I think of Elodie, I blush. She is so beautiful. Suddenly someone’s jumps up on me and I scream. I turn around to see fluffy brown hair behind me. “Dude, you scared me!” I take of my headphones and confront her.
“Good!” She smiles and gets back to painting the wall, “I’ve been gone for 2 hours, and you still haven’t finished the bed frame, absolutely useless” She mocks me. I laugh and get back to the bed frame for the 3rd time as-well as putting my headphones back on for like the 5th time.
I finished the bed frame and my dad and Myaa called telling me to come home so I said goodbye to Elodie and left through the pouring rain. “Cydney!” I hear a voice yell behind me. A dark figure runs towards me. The drenched figure was Storm. “Can’t believe you didn’t say goodbye to me, how rude” he says sarcastically. “Your so wet”, I laugh, and he kisses my lips, “couldn’t have you leave without saying goodbye” He blushes,” Bye Beautiful”.
I blush, “Bye”. He winks as me and runs back out through the pouring rain. I walk back home, my heart racing of excitement. Why is life so confusing.
