Falling for Someone Unexpected

The next morning I woke up and I saw Zane lying awake on his bed.
“Do you ever sleep?” I asked getting up.
“I do,”
“Sure. Was that window open last night?”
“No, why?” he asked.
“No reason,” I said grabbing my clothes and walked out the door.
I changed and got ready in the bathroom.
Eat my breakfast and left the house with Liz and Zane.
Once on school grounds Zane and Liz and I went our separate ways. Liz and I went to our lockers talking about Liz’s date.
“It was amazing,” she sighed.
“I bet,”
She rolled her eyes. “I cant wait until you fall in love with someone,”
“Wont happen,” I smiled.
“One little crush?”
“Nope, I don’t fall in love remember”
“You say that now, but one day you will and it will hit you like a moving train,”
“Yeah, okay,”
“Guess who?” someone said covering Liz’s eyes. I looked at the person.
Matt.
“Um, Orlando Bloom,” she giggled.
Matt kissed Liz, still coving her eyes. “Guess again,”
“Matt,” she said.
He uncovered her eyes and wrapped his arm around her waist.
He walked with us to our class.
As I walked in the classroom I noticed Zane talking to our teacher.
As soon as I walked in he looked over at me.
I smiled as I took my seat.
***
I had most classes with Zane.
He was quite and sat in the back of the room alone.
He’s a very strange boy.
I’m noticing that more and more each day.
I was in my room reading and Zane was on his bed listening to music.
My – our parents were coming home late tonight was it was just us.
“So, Zane,” I said.
“Yes?”
“Do you want to order pizza our something?” I asked.
“No, I’m not hungry,”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, you can order it if you want,”
“Okay,” I said walking into the kitchen.
I called the pizza place and asked them to deliver a large meat lovers pizza.
I walked back into my room and lied back on my bed.
“So, Zane, we don’t really know each other, so why don’t we. Tell me about yourself,” I said.
“Um,” he said taking out his ear buds. “I wasn’t always an orphan. My parents died when I was eight years old. I’ve been going from family from family for a while. What else do you want to know?”
“I don’t know, just talk to me,”
“Okay,” he smiled slightly. “I like music it relaxes me. I’m a night owl but also an early bird. What about you?”
“Um, I’m a quite. I don’t have many friends, I’m a loner. I’ve lived in this house ever since I was a baby,”
“Tell me more about you,” he said.
“Okay,” I said. I began babbling about myself until the pizza guy came.
I opened the door and paid the man and brought the pizza box to my – our room.
I sat on my bed with the pizza and opened it. “You want any?”
“No, I’m good,” he said. “Continue,”
We continued to talk until two in the morning.
I fell asleep and so did Zane. I think.
I woke up in the middle of the night and tip toed into the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth and took off my pants and sweater, so I was in my tank top and underwear.
I walked back to my room just in time to see Zane jump out the window.
I rushed over to the window and looked outside and he was gone.
