Amber looks at Seth as he stands in the corner of the hall talking secretly to Colin. Colin looks over to Amber and waves and she feels shyness overcome. However her shyness is met with bashfulness as Seth also looks over to wave. Amber feels sick all of a sudden and she moves to the toilets to take a drink.
Inside of the toilets Amber looks at her reflection - she wants to say she looks nice, but all she looks is flustered. Seth has given her a rash that causes worms to make a meal of a her blood - she feels contaminated, wronged, and even cheated.
"What's wrong with me?" asks Amber as she thinks to herself over why Seth should stand out as a person amongst people who makes her feel wronged. "He's just a guy;" she mutters as she wipes a hand over her brow. "I wish I wouldn't get so wound up!" she gasps before the door opens and Seth steps inside.
"How are you Amber?" he asks in a tone that sounds hard and depressed.
"Oh just fine!" sings Amber as she waves. "Will you go away please?" she asks.
"You would like me to do that wouldn't you?" asks Seth as he narrows his eyes. "But I can't! I've been thinking about us;" he tells.
Amber rolls her eyes - last time he talked about them he walked off to have a smoke and a drink until he was able to pass out on the garden lawn at her next door neighbours house! It seemed that the confusion of talking about a relationship grew too much and instead of asking her out he went to overdose on drink as though the thought of the two of them togther were a cancer.
"We've talked and agreed to be friends;" tells Amber as she feels her gut worm.
"We have made no such agreement!" tells Seth as he narrows his eyes. "I miss you;" he mutters.
"We haven't ever gone out!" gasps Amber as she raises her brows.
"I miss you all the same!" tells Seth as he smiles. "I like you Amber;" he drawls. "There's no one else for me, you know?"
"I didn't know!" tells Amber as she smiles as her heartbeat bothers to murmur. "I thought you were all for the other girls!"
"What other girls!" gasps Seth as he looks through Amber's eyes so that she can see his stare completely.
"I don't know;" mutters Amber as she plays with her hair. "There are girls around;"
"I only like you!" tells Seth. "I really like you!" he adds. "You are the only one in my eyes;"
"Then why did you go out with Anne Simmers?" asks Amber as she shrugs.
"She's a friend;" tells Seth as he raises his brows. 'I like you, only you;" he mutters as his eyes grow glazed. "You are who I want;"
Amber walks around Seth as he stares into space - she feels as though he is in a different world until she reaches the door.
"Where are you going?" asks Seth as he glares at the dirty tiles under his feet. "Why not stay?"
"It's a dirty bathroom!" complains Amber. "It smells like urine!"
"So?" asks Seth as he inhales a narrow breath. "So what? I'm talking;"
"I'm leaving!" gasps Amber as she moves to exit.
Seth turns his head and stares at Amber as she opens the door and bumps into Colin who stands with a toothpick inside of his mouth. Seth wants to complain, however his heart is finding it hard to beat and so he stands still as Amber mutters short words to Colin who shrugs before she moves on.
"Why aren't you staying?" asks Seth as he watches the door close. "What are you looking for? I am here!" he mutters as a dark sensation crawls over his skin.
Colin pokes his head into the room and he raises his brows.
"What are you doing Seth?" asks Colin.
"I feel sick;" mutters Seth before he bothers to take a step. "I am sick;" he adds as his lips turn from pink to red.
"Let's go home;" tells Colin as he crooks his head. "We can watch television;" he adds as he smiles.
"No;" mutters Seth as he feels his head light up like a light. "I won't go home;" he adds before he moves to walk past Colin at sudden speed.
Seth races down the hall after Amber - all students brother to gather to make his walk more difficult, however Seth manages to scrape through gaps and within moments he has caught Amber's arm.
"You listen!" he yells as Amber turns her head. "We're going out!" he adds.
Amber raises her brows as Seth finds it hard to breathe. She knows he has popped pills, but what she does not see is the murmur trapped inside of his chest - his heart beats hard as his head tells his body to stand still.
"I love you;" tells Seth as he feels his patience drag.
Amber shrugs.
"I don't know, I don't care!" she mutters as she grows hot inside of her mind.
"Yes you do care;" tells Seth as he holds onto her arm. "You do care, I can tell..."
"You're wasted!" gasps Amber as she sees the same far away stare she has seen a dozen times. "Leave me alone;"
"Wasted for you!" tells Seth as Amber manages to set herself free. "Come home with me!"
Amber walks away and students gather around to watch Seth as he stares in an uncommon way as though he might blow a fuse.
"Let's go!" steams Colin as he grabs Seth's arm. "It's time to go home and watch movies;" he adds.
"Yeah;" mutters Seth as he feels his gut wince. "I guess I can do that;" he adds before he allows Colin to drag him away from the other students.
However back at home Seth finds it hard to watch television. As Colin grows tired Seth leaves to trek to Ambers home several blocks away. Outside of her bedroom window Seth leans on the glass as he looks at Amber as she reads at her table - he knows she is doing homework, however the sick inside of his body grows and he knows that he will not back away.
Seth flattens his hands and bang upon the window - Amber turns her head and she narrows her eyes as she sees Seth standing there as though he expects to be let inside of the house. Amber shakes her head and turns away, however Seth pounds against the window once again so hard that Amber's temper rushes to her feet! Amber moves to the window and opens it.
"What do you want?" asks Amber as she feels her mood grow sour.
"I want you!" complains Seth as though he is a child wanting a christmas present.
"You almost broke the windows!" tells Amber as she feels her skin tingle. "You almost broke my windows!"
"I'm sorry;" mutters Seth as he grows cold inside of his head. "I'm sorry I almost broke your windows, but they are still perfectly in-tact;"
"I bet they're splinted!" tells Amber as she looks at the frame carefully. "I bet you've dislodged them!" she adds.
"Won't you let me in?" asks Seth as he feels his eyes scrape over Ambers face. "Please?"
Amber narrows her eyes and stares at Seth - he looks queer all of a sudden and she wants to refuse him admittance; however his queer looks turn pale and he starts to tremble as his heart-beat murmurs and Amber rushes to him as he leans heavily on the window.
"What's wrong?" asks Amber as he tries to move her fingers to touch his back - her move failing only inches from the t-shirt that he wears.
"Nothing!" gasps Seth before he straightens his spine. "Let's go to bed!" he adds.
"What?" gasps Amber as she steps away. "No way!" she adds.
"I need to lay down;" tells Seth before he moves to the back door and enters the house.
Amber follows Seth to her bedroom and she scowls as he pulls his weight onto her bed. She wants to scold Seth, however his skin continues to tremble and so she sits on a chair and begins to read.
Seth stares at Amber as she reads with vacancy.
"What's the matter with you?" he asks. "Why the cold shoulder?"
"What do you mean cold shoulder?" asks Amber as she looks to Seth. "You can lay there and I'll read;"
"I want you to know that I really like you;" tells Seth before he stands.
Amber looks at Seth as he crosses the room towards her. She wants to run away, however she sits as though he might ignore her. At the door Seth looks to Amber and he stares at her.
"If we end up in different worlds it is because you ignore me;" he tells before he races out of the house.
Amber puts down her book and crosses her arms. She knows that Seth has moved to sprint home and she has nothing to say about it - he is a spntanous person who makes no sense to her, and she isn't there for the taking when he can only leave everything behind his shoulder as he steps on peoples shoulders to get his way.
"He's annoying!" mutters Amber as she shrugs. "I want anyone but him!" she tells before she picks up her book to read.
