    */  chrissy quickly closed her notebook so that eddie wouldn’t see that her notes were comprised of scribbles that only half made sense, and various doodles of flowers. she didn’t honestly think that he would judge her or even care but she did have an image to upkeep. there was a pause as she went over the thought that crossed her mind which echoed in her mother’s voice. that was all it took for her to open the notebook once more and set it on the wall. her attention turned back to him.

  watching as eddie nimbly swung up on the wall, chrissy quickly gave him a small bit of applause as the man got situated. “the universe can definitely be loud,” she agreed softly, quickly pushing some of her hair behind her ear. “so it’s definitely a good thing you listened to it.” blue eyes cut over to look at eddie before slowly looking to the ground. “uhm,” she began. she wasn’t sure how much she actually wanted to admit aloud. after all there was no business in telling eddie munson her life’s story. “uh, i just didn’t want to be home,” the blonde finally admitted with a sad smile before glancing sideways at him again. it was the truth.

Eddie recognized the tone in her voice. In the past, he’d been the one who left home as early as he could just to avoid his parents. Walking to the bus stop early, walking to school sometimes just to get his mind off shit. Maybe there was a lot more to Chrissy Cunningham than he or anyone else would expect. 

    */  staring at her twin, wide eyed, chrissy had to calm herself down. partially so that she didn’t drop dead from fright, and partially so that she didn’t smack chris. the teen had lied to her parents, saying she didn’t feel well and went to bed early. but chrissy knew her mother, and she knew her mother would snoop. part of her- a large part wondered what exactly it was chris did so that she didn’t get busted. “i uh. at a friend’s,” and it wasn’t a total lie. chris just didn’t need to know the truth. yet. chrissy narrowed her eyes slightly to her twin before pushing past him to get a glass of water. 

GONNA CRYYYY. LOVE YOU TONS.

    */  “i don’t mean to bother you, but have you seen chris?” chrissy asked, searching for her brother. and her best bet is starting with his secret little posse.

    */  ankles crossed, chrissy continued to kick her legs, half an eye on the parking lot and on her notes. part of her knew she really needed to work on her grades and schoolwork. this last semester was it- she needed to ace these classes to get away. so she could leave. but pulling nearly straight Cs because of the stress, chrissy knew she would be working her ass off. the need to prove her mother wrong was important. ‘you’re just not smart, christine. it’s okay. it’s more important to focus on your appearances while you have them,’ laura cunningham’s words constantly rang in her head. it tore her down, but gave chrissy the determination to do better. be better.

  and she was actually studying when a voice caused the blonde to gasp and look up. “y-you don’t have to call me that, you know,” sputtered chrissy, before letting out a giggle at eddie’s salute. “you don’t strike me as the early riser type,” she said, a lame attempt at conversation.

    */  chrissy was earlier to school than usual. which was dumb. it was dumb of her. she didn’t know if he got to school this early- he probably didn’t, did he? the blond walked around aimlessly, making pleasantries with the early risers before settling on a wall to sit on. the girl kicked her feet, leafing through a notebook to at least attempt to catch up on notes.

   */  silently and carefully as possible, chrissy slid up the window of the living room before glancing through it. double check, and it seemed she was in the clear. hunching over and shimmying through the window, and quietly making the touchdown. reaching back, the teen closed the window slowly to avoid the groan it makes. success. it seemed like she had actually pulled it off when turning around and jumping about a foot into the air. “jeez!”
