“I see, you took a liking to Jase,” Lizzy said as she sat on my bed, and I turned around in my desk chair.
“I don’t like him. He’s a dick,” I stated angrily.
“Then why did you tell him everything about you?” she asked me then, brows arched.
“I didn’t,” I responded angrily, turning back in my seat. “He just… knew.”
“He knew all that about you?” she said then, voice tipped with concern… no, amazement. “Wow, lucky you.”
I turned back over to shoot her a look. “Excuse me?”
She smiled giddily. “He is like… so into you.”
I lowered my lashes.
Really? I couldn’t tell that for myself.
Although a question pecked in my head… was his interest in me genuine or dangerous? I bet a hundred dollars it was both.
“What are you doing, anyway?” she asked me, slipping from the bed.
I shut my sketchbook before she could see it. “Drawing.”
She gave me a dubious look. “Drawing what?”
I stared. “The… the usual.”
“Anime boys?”
“Yes.”
“Would it happen to be Jase?” she said then, smirking slyly.
I stared. “No.”
It was a lie. It was Jase.
“Agh, you forget you’re my twin and that I know when you’re lying,” she stated with a smirk, collapsing back on my bed. “What did you learn about him?”
I opened my sketchbook again and stared down at his unfinished angled face. “Nothing.”
“You liar,” she joked.
“No, seriously,” I said then, lashes lowering. “He knew all this stuff about me but gave nothing off about himself.”
“Well, judging by the way he looks at you, he’s got the hots for you.”
“I could’ve gone my whole life without this circumstance,” I said then, sighing as I started sketching his hair.
“Come on, sis!” Lizzy said, sitting back up. “All you do is stay in here and draw all the time! You’ve never dated a boy before. Wouldn’t it be nice to finally be social again?”
“Again?” I echoed, still drawing.
“You were quite the extrovert in elementary school.”
“Yeah, that was years ago.”
“You are such a poor spirit,” she said then, sighing as she tipped her head back. But she finally looked over to me. “What’d he say to you? I saw him talking to you and you back.”
“He told me I got killer legs,” I stated.
“Damn, he is so into you.”
“Unfortunately.”
It was a lie, again, but I wasn’t going to admit to my sister that I secretly found a boy as dangerous as him attracting.
You can stare at fire. Just don’t touch it… don’t get too close to it or it will burn you.
It was something I needed to remember until the end of time.
