hiii wlcm backk <3 get rddy to read ! __________ “Really? Oh, well get the blankets when you’re tired.” She smiles and leaves. I let go of his grip and sat back down. “People keep saying we’re together…” Charlie chuckles, his voice trailing off. “Yeah, I mean you’re a great guy, but yeah we’re not together.” I laugh, blushing. “Yeah, I have feelings for someone already.” He smirks and turns away. My heart drops… wait, I think I have a crush on him… oh gosh. “Oh.” I say, sad. “Who?” He turns to face me again, “Someone who is kind, pretty, funny, a bit bossy.” He pauses and laughs weakly. “ And they devote their time to the ones they care for the most.” “Amellie?” I ask, trying not to cry. He stares at me weirdly. “No, but someone like that.” “Who then? Amellie’s the kindest person I know.” I frown, confused. “Ah, no there’s someone much kinder.” He sighs and sits up. “No, rest.” I’m worried for him. “I’m fine. I’m good.” He smiles. I nod. “Okay… Who?” I moan. “You.” He whispers and blushes. I blush, unable to speak. “Me?” I squeak slowly. “Yeah.” He yawns and falls asleep. “Goodnight.” I sigh quietly and walk out to get a blanket. There were lots…I grabbed two blue ones and walked back, covering myself in it. My phone pinged. Amellie: Where were you in class? And where was Charlie?? Joshua: You okay? How is Charlie? Mum: You okay sweet? Dad: How is he? They were all in different chats. I replied to them all and watched him breathe slowly. I was quickly asleep too. “Evy? Evelyn?” I opened my eyes slowly and saw Charlie standing over me. I jumped in surprise. He laughs. “Morning.” I croaked and fixed my hair, flattening it with my hands. “Charlie, do you actually like me?” I croak again and yawn. “Yeah, I do.” He whispers and stretches. “It’s ten by the way.” “Ten?” I exclaimed and checked my phone, thankfully there were no new messages. My parents didn’t spam me saying I had to get home… phew. I groaned and laid my head back on the surprisingly comfy chair. “Why are you out of bed?” I whisper, my mind too tired to make me get up. “Because. I’m fine, I feel fine.” He whispers back, making his bed. I groan, trying to say “okay”. He laughs and covers me in the second blanket. “Sorry for waking you up… you were mumbling something about me and Joshua’s fight… if it happened?” He chuckled. “Rest.” I nod and fall asleep seconds later, too tired to disagree. When I wake up, it’s lunch time. Some doctors are passing a tray of beans and toast to Charlie. I rub my eyes and stretch. He laughs and throws a granola bar at me, my reflexes not working. “Oi.” I groan and sit up. The doctors stare at me with a questioned look and one raises their eyebrows to Charlie. “It’s fine, she’s my… friend?” He glances at me quickly and smiles at the doctors. They leave shortly after, leaving us in silence. “If you want we can be more than friends?” Charlie says suddenly. I nod slowly and inhale loudly. “Okay.” I force a smile. Oh gosh, I just said yes to a boy I’ve known for eleven years! My first boyfriend… “Great.” He smiles and chomps hungrily on his toast. I laugh. “How are you feeling now?” I ask, holding back another shriek of laughter. “Much better. I don’t know what happened. The doctors said I had a fever so nothing is major.” He smiles back and quickly finishes his food. My mum rings me and I answer. ________ tysm for reading ! i actually lovee this series sm ! tell me ur thoughts abt it ! <3
