Chapter 7

"Question five is wrong" she says as she continues to massage my shoulders. I've been doing homework for two hours now. I finished everything else so now I'm working on math, which is one of my worst subjects. Charlotte noticed that I was stressed a couple of minutes ago so she started to give me a massage which is proving to helpful since I feel more relaxed than I did an hour ago. "Ugh, I give up. I've redone it three times already" I say which makes her laugh before she grabs my paper and finishes the rest of the equations in four minutes. I stare at her gobsmacked when she hands me back the paper with a smile on her face. "Beauty and Brains," I say which causes her to look away from me as the tips of her ears turn pink "You're going to make one lucky guy or girl happy" I say since I don't know what team she swings for I place all of my books and supplies inside of my backpack before I place it beside my bed and get comfortable under the covers. "Oh wait, I forgot to offer you clothes to sleep in" I say as I remove the covers from my body which causes her to grab my arm so that she can gain my attention "It's fine, I can sleep in my clothes" she says with a reassuring smile but I just shake my head "No, I'm getting you some comfortable clothes. You can't object" I say with determination which makes her smile as I get up a walk towards my closet I pick out a pair of black leggings and a white oversized sweatshirt for her. I walk out of my closet with the clothes only to see her removing her shirt which causes me to blush as my eyes widen. We've never changed in front of each other. Oh god, I shouldn't be looking at this. When her shirt is over her head she turns towards me and looks at the clothes in my hand with a smile. I look down and see her perfectly toned stomach which she's gotten from going to the gym every week. I look up and trace the contours with my eyes before they land on her beautifully sculpted chest. Her breasts are covered by a maroon lace bra. She appears to be a B-cup maybe a C-cup. "Hey Aspen, my eyes are up here" Charlotte say with an amused tone which causes me to blush and look down as I hand her the clothes She accepts them before walking into my bathroom and closing the door behind her. I feel something wet on the corner of my lip so I reach my hand up and touch it. Great, I drooled over her body. Now she probably thinks that I'm weird. Wait a minute, I've never had this reaction to someone before. I shake my head to rid myself of the crazy thoughts, I'm obviously just admiring something that I though looked good. It's no big deal. I'm not attracted to my best friend. I walk to my bed and place the covers over my shivering body. I lay on my back and just stare at the ceiling as I think about the day. It feels like Maddie has been bullying me more and more each day. At least one good this came out of today. I met Kayden and it seems like he hasn't heard the names that everyone made up for me. "Hey, are you okay?" Charlotte asks as she lays beside me and turns off my bedside lamp I turn onto my side so that I'm facing her before I give her a smile, which causes her to look at me with an unreadable emotion as she tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. Thank the heavens that it's my unbruised cheek. She rests her hand on my cheek and just continues to look me in the eyes with an unreadable expression. I'm about to ask her what she's doing when she suddenly says something that catches me off guard "You know that I care about you, right?" "Yes, of course" I say which makes her smile before she places a kiss on my forehead I move my head so that it's laying on her chest which causes her to wrap her arms around my waist "Goodnight Aspen" "Goodnight Charlotte"
