Chapter 10
Sierra and I talked for awhile and turns out she was fine, just a little homesick. Her mother was on vacation in Panama and doesn’t know the first thing about a cell phone so Sierra hasn’t talked to her in over two weeks. We talked more, and I tried to comfort her but there was an awkward silence in the air. “So,” She said breaking the uncomfortable silence, “are you and Zane a ‘thing’ now or what?” She asked and I realized I wasn’t really sure.
Yeah, I like him and I am quite sure he likes me too, heck just hours ago we’d been kissing, but does that really mean he’s mine?
I was positive that Zane wasn’t interested in anyone else but me, but did that mean he actually wanted to be with me? My head began to spin as questions began forming and multiplying in my head.
“Um, Earth to summer?” She asked pulling me out of my thoughts.
“Oh, yeah,” I said sounding really stupid and unsupportive.
“Yeah you’re a couple or yeah your back on Earth?” She asked making me giggle.
“Yeah I’m back on Earth, as for the other question you know as much as I do,” I said feeling totally confused.
Sierra must have noticed my sigh because she laughed and said, “ Well I guess we’ll find out with time to come,” and then quickly dropped the topic, thankfully.
“I’m kind of tired so I’m going to take a nap,” I said climbing up onto my bunk and snuggling down under my blankets. As I laid down my head and closed my eyes I fell asleep almost instantly into what I hoped was a dreamless sleep.
