NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.3 Talking

“Spillâ€? I say, sighing.

“He is an amazing kisser!â€? Amber says, flopping down on my bed next to me. “Ew, what are we listening to?!â€?

She stands back up and disconnects my iPod, then reconnects hers and turns on some rap. I groan but she doesn’t seem to notice.

Sitting back on the bed she asks, “How’s Edwin?â€?

“A prude.â€? I say simply.

“Ouch…â€? She says, totally sympathetic.

“Fer sure…â€? I say, shrugging to show her it didn’t matter.

“Hey, do you need a ride tomorrow? Because I’m taking Edwin and Ashton… so if you wanted you could hop a ride.â€? She says kindly.

“Oh… yeah sure. Thanks.â€? I say, slightly taken aback.

Amber shrugs and jumps up to go to her pile of clothes. While she changes I scoot to the far side of the bed and get under the covers.

“Night.â€? I say as I turn towards the wall. A silent tear rolls down my check as I think about what Chris would have done differently compared to what Edwin did tonight.
