.. if you can use me, that is.” Gee looked around and sighed. “To tell the truth, I’m going a little stir-crazy. After I finally managed to stan... up from my chair by myself, I couldn’t wait to start getting out of the house.”“Well, we can sure use you. I hired a high school kid to work a bit after school, but he needs guidance. Maybe you could switch a little later for a few days and show him the ropes,” Nathan said.“I didn’t get here until almost noon today. I waited and left the house with. We stayed good friends after high school, and eventually, we decided to get a rather shitty one-bedroom apartment together. It was actually a few days after we’d been living there that he came into my bedroom (we both decided I deserve it because I’m paying for most of the rent) one night and crawled up to me on my bed and kissed me. It was the most forward interaction I’ve ever had with somebody, and although Cody can be a pouty, obnoxious, and rather ‘forward’ person, this was bold, even for. ‘The reason it got weird was my fault. I just had to break it off.’ ‘What!? Why?’ Selena was incredulous. ‘Cause I love you!’ Demi proclaimed. ‘What!?’ ‘My heart just flutters when I’m near you and oh it hurts cause I didn’t know if you’d accept me.’ Her friend started to open her mouth but Demi cut her off. ‘There’s something else you need to know.’ Demi paused. ‘I have a third chromosome.’ The third chromosome. That was the polite way to put it. It was a genetic oddity, or rarity. We walked another 10 minutes just chatting about the surroundings when I asked her, so, do you do that sort of thing often. She rolled her eyes at the question and said: No, I don't, I just felt like it now. Are you feeling like it again now? I asked, more eager than I had wanted. She raised her eyebrows and said: In the middle of the woods? No, I wanna get inside where it's warm. I wasn't about to give up and said, well, how often do you get the chance to do something like that in the woods?.
