embarrassment and let that kill me instead!”
Alias collapses on to the bed. “Cupid hit me with a Nuke…and now I
have to pay for it…maybe I won’t go to school tomorrow,” He says
aloud. “Can’t call my brother dumb,” he sighs.

Chapter 19
    And so we talk now? Is that correct?

    “I’m sorry…honest I am,” She says looking up
for her bed shyly as Christophe flies in her window “What are you
sorry for?” Christophe asks absently.
    “The whole Alias and me not telling you
thing…but I didn’t do anything…if that counts at all,” she says
quietly.
    “I know that,” He says and then takes a seat
on her bed. Amethyst studies his expression momentarily.
    “We have to talk, right?” She asks and sits
upright.
    “Do you like him?” he asks. Shit, you
don’t waste any time do you? She thinks.
    “He’s your brother, I can’t hate him
entirely…he’s cool people,” She says.
    “That’s true, it’s just that well…nothing,
never mind,” Christophe says and then looks toward the window. Holy crap on rice…I didn’t mean to do that! She thinks.
    “Okay, I like him, that’s true. But I don’t
love him…just you,” She said almost inaudibly. She looks over
toward Christophe who was beaming at her,
    “Really!!? Just me!? For real!!?” He said all
ecstatic and Amethyst started laughing.
    “Yeah you knucklehead, just you!” She laughs
and falls back onto her pillow. Christophe lays back too and then
stares at her all amazed.
    “What is it now?” she asks and stretches
across him.
    “Just taking in your sight, that’s all,” he
smiles. Crisis averted, awesomeness! Did he really not know
that? He came all this way to ask that? Amazing.
    “So you’re okay, right?” Amethyst asked.
    “Um, yeah. That was just gnawing at me all
day and I had to know, sorry…what’s that noise?” He asks.
    “My mom in her room. You always fly in my
window so she’s never seen you come in. And if she were to walk in
my room right now she would most likely flip out because we’re just
all cuddly on my bed in my room with the door shut,” Amethyst
replies.
    “Yeah but if she did know I was here then we
wouldn’t be having this friendly moment…among others,” He smirks
and kisses her on the forehead.
    “Very true and-” The door swings open and
they both sit up.
    “Oooh Ami!!! I’m telling!!!” It was her
little cousin Brie.
    “Nah you’re not! Why are you here?” Amethyst
asks.
    “Grandma!!! Ami has a boy in her room!!!”
Brie yells running down the hallway. Christophe kisses her quickly
and flies out the window as soon as she’s gone. Amethyst shuts the
window and flops back onto her bed with a book just as her mom and
Brie come in.
    “Look! Wait, where is he?!” Brie yells.
    “Who?” Amethyst asks looking up from the
book.
    “The boy with the hair and no shirt and-and
the wings!” Brie yells.
    “You called me in here about some boy with
wings? Little girl you’ve been here five minutes…” she trails off
and walks back toward her room.
    “He was here, right?” Brie asked.
    “Yep, but my mom isn’t going to believe you
so…who cares?” Amethyst laughs. Score one against my eight year
old nightmare of a cousin! I should invite him over some more
.Happy Thursday.
    “Ami, what can we do now?” Brie asks.
    “Chick I have homework to do, so I don’t know
what to tell you,” Amethyst sighs and reaches for her backpack
reluctantly.
    “You weren’t doing homework when that boy was
in here!” Amethyst laughs.
    “Yeah well, I am now. Don’t you have homework
to do anyways?” Brie goes out the room and amethyst picks up her
math book out of her bag and glares at it while flipping to the
assigned page.
    “The square root of x solve for…ugh” she
groaned. And people wonder why I fail math annually when they
give me crap like this.

    “Happy birthday Ami!!!” Her mom yelled in her
ear.
    “Woah…I’m fifteen now, thanks mom!”
