Falling for Someone Unexpected

The next morning I woke up to my radio.
I slowly opened my eyes and got up.
I looked over at Zane and saw him lying there dressed and ready to go.
“Um, morning,” I said tried to him. I got up and headed out the door.
“Hello,”
I stopped in my tracks and turned around.
He talked?
“I’m sorry what?”
“I said hello,” he said again sitting up.
“You talked,”
“Yeah, sorry about yesterday,”
“It’s fine,” I said looking at him.
I realized that he wasn’t wearing his sunglasses. He had light hazel eyes that looked almost orange. His skin was also had more color to it than yesterday. It wasn’t as pale as it was. He was dressed in all black.
“I’m in the kitchen if you need me,”
“Okay,” he said lying down again.
I walked to the kitchen and made myself a bowl of cereal.
My parents were already at work, so its just me and Zane.
I went back to my room to get dressed.
I walked into my closet and changed in there, which was very hard to do.
“I could have left the room,” Zane said once I came out of the closet.
“Right,” I said running my hand through my hair.
I quickly fixed my hair and put on some make up and packed my bag.
“Blake,” Liz called as she walked in my house.
“Hey, in here,” I called
She came into my room. “Let’s g- who’s the hot hunk on the bed?” she whisper to me once she saw Zane.
“That is the foster child my parents want to adopt, his name is Zane. Zane meet my best friend Liz, Liz meet Zane,”
“Nice to meet you,” she said
“Likewise,” he replied.
“Let’s go,” I said walking out the door.
The three of us walked to school together. Me and Liz were in front and Zane was in the back.
Once we reached the school Liz and I said our good byes and I walked Zane to the office.
Zane will be following me today and tomorrow he will get his schedule.
We walked in silence to my locker.
“Blake!” Liz yelled running up to me.
“What?” I asked opening my locker.
“Mat is single!” she yelled.
“What?”
“Yup,”
“No way,”
“I know, do you think he’ll ask me out?”
“Sure,” I said.
Liz hit my arm. “Your suppose to say yes,”
“Sorry,”
She rolled her eyes and turned around.
“Oh my gosh, he’s coming this way,”
“That’s great,” I said getting my books.
“No, I mean, this way this way,”
“Liz,”
“Look,” I looked and there he was the hottest guy in school coming this way.
“Holy…”
“I know, how do I look?”
“Terrible,”
“Good,” she said fixing her hair.
I rolled my eyes and tried not to stare at the hot guy coming this way.
“Hey Blake hey Liz,” Matt said smiling at Liz.
“Hey,” she smiled.
“You doing anything tonight?”
“Not anymore,”
“Good, I’ll pick you up at eight,”
“Yup,”
Matt kissed Liz on the lips quickly to seal the deal and walked away.
“Oh my gosh,” Liz said smiling.
“Happy dance?” I asked.
“Happy dance!”
We both started doing the running man and the car wash.
We stopped and started laughing.
Zane just looked at us like we were insane.
“Sorry,” I said closing my locker.
“Let’s go,” Liz said.
****
Lunch time came Liz and I were in the lunch line.
Zane was stolen away from me by the popular chicks of the school.
Liz and I walked to our table and sat down.
“So, tell me about Zane,” Liz of the school.
Liz and I walked to our table and sat down.
“So, tell me about Zane,” Liz said.
“I really don’t know anything about him, he keeps to himself,”
“So he’s mysterious and hot, that’s hot,” Liz said.
I rolled my eyes. “Whatever,”
“Hey Liz” Mat said walking over to us.
“Hey,”
“Come sit with me,”
She looked at me. I nodded my head. “Sure,” she said smiling.
He took her food in one hand and her hand in the other.
I watched them walk away and went back to my food.

Zane and I walked home together in silence.
“So,” I said half way home. “Have fun?”
“Not really,”
“Understood, school is a pain,”
“What about you? you eat lunch alone,”
“Yeah, I know, school was okay, I guess,” I said as we reached my – our – house.
Zane and I both reached for the doorknob at the same time. Our hands touched. His hand was so cold, it sent chills through me.
I pulled my hand away quickly and looked at him in shook.
He facial expression was unreadable.
“Your hand is so cold,”
“It’s winter, everything is cold,” he said walking in the house.
I followed him and started my homework.
My parent came home shortly.
We had dinner together and once again Zane didn’t eat with us.
He said he wasn’t hungry.
After dinner I took a shower and tried to read the book for school.
Zane came into my – our – room with his boxers on and an open button up shirt on.
“Good night,” I said turning off the lights.
“Good night,” he said.
*****
Once again I woke up because my room was really cold.
I saw the window was open but I didn’t see Zane.
I closed my eyes again and tried to sleep.
I heard a sound and I looked up to see the window closed and Zane in bed.
“Huh?” I whispered.
