Everything, Everything Page #4

working a double shift,

so I figured maybe

you'd come over

and we could watch the

fireworks from the sunroom.

Wait, Tuesday?

That's July Fourth.

Yeah. Do you have

plans or something?

No. I'm not very popular.

Lucky for me then, I guess.

So, I guess

I'll see you then.

All right. I will

see you then, Maddy.

Okay, bye, Olly.

Bye.

I don't know how Carla and

I got our wires crossed.

I don't wanna leave you alone tonight.

It's the Fourth of July.

You know, I'll see if

someone can cover for me.

You know, I'll be fine.

-You sure?

-Yeah, I'll be okay.

What are you gonna do?

I guess just read

a book or something.

So, calculus is

the mathematics of change.

It, doesn't necessarily predict the

future, but it does indicate it.

Indicate what?

Well, that people

are unpredictable.

I didn't really see

you as a math person.

Why not?

I guess 'cause

you're in summer school.

Right.

Well, that's...

That's just 'cause my dad

moves around a lot.

This is an ellipsis.

Does that mean that we're

having an awkward silence

or that you're thinking?

Both.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking that we should

probably agree to just be friends.

I don't think you have

that kind of restraint.

Well, my life is an exercise

in restraint, so...

Does this mean I can't

look at your lips anymore?

No.

Your dimple?

I don't have dimples!

Your hair.

Friends!

Ellipsis.

You make me wanna

stay in Los Angeles.

Why would you go?

What are you doing?

I'm moving closer to you.

Is that okay?

Yes, it's okay.

Okay.

I should tell you we shouldn't

push our luck, but I can't.

I don't want to.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Hello, Little Prince.

Is it always like that?

It's never like that.

Are you sure you're not sick?

You feel fine?

Yeah, I feel fine.

Better than fine, actually.

I feel pretty perfect.

Even though we touched?

We did.

Shared the same breath.

Yeah, we did.

Kissed.

Like I said, perfect.

Hey, goodnight.

Goodnight.

I read once that we change

the upper layers of our

skin every two weeks.

But some of our

cells don't renew.

They age, and age us.

In two weeks, my lips will have

no memory of kissing Olly.

But my brain will remember.

Yeah, that's right,

-walk away, Dad.

-Leave it alone, Olly.

Walk away!

It's not

your problem, okay?

It's not my problem

It's not my problem.

You really just say that

to me right now?

Stay out of it!

-Stay out of it?

-Yeah.

Stay out of it. How's that? How's

that for staying out of it?

-Really?

-Enough!

Madeline?

Olly!

-Maddy? Maddy, what are you doing?

-Are you okay?

Madeline?

Are you hurt?

Are you okay?

I'm okay. What are you doing?

Go back inside! Go!
