SZNS SERIES 1: Summer by Maria Writes (books for men to read txt) 📗

Now it seems like she pissed him of. "I'm sorry, I just don't know what to talk about with you. I mean we just met, I know nothing about you aside from you’re not so good childhood, and you constantly call me Ginger which I hate. I mean, when you say it, I don't really hate it honestly. I don't know, when I was in pre-school my classmates used to call me that when their bullying me. So, I dyed my hair blonde, to fit in and to stop the bullying. But the color just faded, and I just got tired of dying it."

Jesse looked at her with awe, she just laughed at it and continued walking when she felt droplets dripping on her skin. Looks like it's raining. The sky is getting darker. Both of them walked faster before the rain hit. Luckily, they made it to the boarding house where they saw Caroline and her parent taking out their things from the van.

Jesse rushed to help and so is she. They put every boxes and bag inside just in time for the rain to pour. Chloe, Caroline, Jesse and her dad unpacked their things, while her mom ordered their dinner. She carried a box filled with her books then went upstairs to find herself a room. She chose the one overviewing the campus. It's very spacious, just the right for her who is not really minimalist.

She started putting her books in the shelves located beside the window seat with the help of the ladder she saw laying on the side. As she was putting her books on the top shelf, she stumbled upon her poetry books. These are the books she printed way back her freshman year, and only one copy of each exist. She contemplated on publishing the book but decided not to because she wanted that her true love will get to read.

But it has been 3 years and no one ever read it yet. There are four books written by her, the first one is a teal-colored book titled 'Love Goes Up and Down' which mainly talk about the ups and downs of every relationships, whether its romantic or platonic, or even family relationship, it all has its ups and downs.

The second one, is much closer to her heart as she speaks to god with this book. Also, in a shade of blue with mountains as its design with the title 'Love with Him is Always High'. Chloe believes that if you're in doubt with anything, there is no one better to talk to but Him.

She placed both books on the bedside table and went back to putting books on the shelf. She was enjoying the silence and the chill the rain gives. It's a perfect time for coffee. She stepped off the ladder and head downstairs for coffee. As she ascends down the stairs, she saw Jesse going up with a bunch of bags and a huge box in hand.

"Let me help you." she took the box out of his hold and brought it to her room. "I got this, thanks. Is that all mine?" Chloe asked while looking at the bags Jesse is carrying. He just nodded.

She helped him settle all her bags on her bed then Jesse asked "Do you need anything?"

Chloe nodded. "Can you ask mom to make me coffee and something to bite."

"Or you could bite me instead." he mumbled but it's not too clear to her so she asked.

"What?"

"Huh?"

"What did you say? I didn't get that." she said smirking, because she thinks like she heard it right.

Jesse coughed before he spoke "Nothing, I said nothing. But yeah, I'll tell your mom about the coffee."

Jesse went out of her room while she continued unpacking her things. She has to unpack all of these tonight because she will be busy for the whole week. As she continues to unpack, she can't help but think about Jesse. He's been a good help today; she loves that he can converse with her parents like they've known each other for too long now.

And that make my like for him even stronger.

He has been very attentive in helping us today, she doesn't know why he's doing it. Maybe because Caroline is her sister. Yes, maybe that's is why. But still, it doesn't change her feelings for him. It may seem to be a bit fast, it may be just an infatuation, but who care? No one. Not even her.

"Chloe, I brought you coffee and pasta" her mom entered her room with a tray of food in her hand. She motioned her hand to the table, enough for her mother to understand that she wants the tray on the bedside table. She was hoping that her mom will leave the room, but to her surprise, her mother sat on the bed and watched her unpack her clothes.

"What's the deal with you and Jesse?" her mom asked while looking at her intently.

Chloe chuckled before answering her mom's question "Nothing, he's just a friend, I think. I mean we're not that close, but he's hanging out with us sometimes because of Caroline. I think we are the only one he knows here on campus" she continued putting her clothes on the closet while she can still sense her mother staring at her.

"I like him for you, you know? He's my best friend's son, Ally. Your father and I felt bad for the kid after her mother died." her mom looked at the ground, feeling guilty about what happen to her friend, so she sat beside her and gave her a hug.

"Why does it feel like you're guilty, momma? It's not your fault that she got sick."

Her mom faced her with her gloomy eyes "But we promised to take care of her child, but Jesse looked for his father, that is why we failed. We never
