"Oh, hi Chadley" I say with obvious shock as I open the house door

Shit.

I most likely look and smell so bad.

I haven't shower or changed my clothes today. I've been wearing an oversized hoodie and sweatpants all day. On top of that I'm still wearing the same messy bun from last night.

"Haven't you hurt her enough, bozo" Faith says with an angered facial expression

"Faith, it's okay, I can handle myself" I assure her

I attempt to usher them out, choosing to follow them since I don't want any of my family members to eavesdrop on my conversation.

"Fine, but I'm keeping my eyes on him" she threatens with a glare directed at him

Bailey rolls her eyes and pulls Faith with her towards her moms car.

"Uh, ignore her, she's just being protective of me" I explain to him

"No, I completely understand, I was an ass" he says

"Well I'm not going to deny it" I say as I push my glasses up the bridge of my nose before crossing my arms

I only wear my glasses when I'm either watching television or reading a book with small words but today my vision is significantly worse

He laughs at this, nervously looking down at his feet.

"First off, I would like to apologize for treating you horribly, talking badly about your friends and wasting your time," he starts off

"I was jealous," he confesses making my eyes widen the slightest bit

"I was always jealous whenever you'd hang out with Aurelia" he informs me making my eyebrows furrow

"Why?" I question genuinely

"Whenever you're around her you seem... different, happier?" He reveals making my cheeks warm up a bit

Great.

Now there are officially three people who believe that I like Aurelia.

Am I the only one not seeing this?!

"And when I saw the two of you kiss after school I wasn't only jealous, I was confused too," he continues to inform

"I was wondering what I did wrong, but then I remembered the look that the both of you shared after the kiss" he says

"What look?" I ask again with a confused tone of voice

"As if you had strong feeling for each other" he responds

"When you saw me you looked terrified, I figured it was because of said kiss, so I broke up with you for the sake of your happiness" he finishes with a small smile

"Really?" I ask with a shocked tone as a smile makes its way onto my face

He gently grabs my hands and holds them in his.

"Of course, I never want to be in the way of your happiness, even if that means that I'm out of the equation" he tells me

"Chadley, I'll always have a special place in my heart for you" I tell him honestly

"So will I, you were my first love after all" he says

The both of us share a polite smile before giving each other a tight hug.

"I wish the best for you, Wilder" he says as he pulls away from me

"Same goes for you, Huntington" I say with a smile before watching him walk off

Wow.

I must admit that Chadley and I being friends feels way better than us being significant others.

-

I'm in the middle of the movie 'Midnight Sun' when Bailey practically bursts into my bedroom as if it's a breakfast buffet.

"What the hell, B?!" I exclaim as I pause my movie as wipe my tears

"Sorry, your parents let me in" she says with an unapologetic tone of voice

I lean over to check my clock only to internally groan.

It's literally one in the morning.

We have school tomorrow.

Well, technically today.

"What do you want?" I ask her since it's practically morning

"Follow me, I have something to show you" she demands before walking down the stairs

Is she serious right now?

I groan as I grab a blue flannel that I borrowed from my mothers closet a few months ago, she said that it was hers while she was growing up.

"Bailey?" I call as I descend down the stairs

"Bailey?" I call out again only to see nothingness

I walk over towards the light switch since our house is almost pitch black only to scream when I'm suddenly pushed outside, the door being locked behind me.

"Bailey, let me in!" I exclaim as I begin to furiously knock on the door

"Not until you talk to her" she says from the other side of the door

"Talk to who?" I ask back

"Hey, princess" someone says from behind me

Oh no.

It can't be.

I slowly turn around only to come face to face with the girl I kissed a little over a day ago.

"I- Uh, H-Hi" I stutter with wide eyes

At least I bathed and changed.

I'm currently wearing a pair of grey sweatpants which I paired with a cropped black tank top. My hair is now up in ponytail and washed.

"Have you been ignoring me?" She questions with an amused look in her grey eyes

I nervously shake my head, practically becoming a statue in my spot.

Why the hell am I so nervous?

I don't think I've ever been this helpless before.

"I think we both know that that's a lie, princess" she whispers making a shiver go up my spine

What the heck?

Why can't I move or speak?

I just feel frozen.

"Uh, Hanna, are you okay?" She asks me as she places a hand on my shoulder, igniting a fire deep within me

"Why are you here?" I question genuinely

Well, at least I have a voice now.

"Bailey said something about us needing a fresh start, without the drama" she replies with a smile

"Really?" I question with an obviously surprised facial expression

"Yeah, she felt bad about allowing the whole Chadley situation to get out of hand" she adds on making me frown

Why wouldn't Bailey tell me this?

I thought we told each other everything.

"Wow, I need to thank her" I say with a small smile

"You're welcome" I hear her yell from inside the house

I roll my eyes and laugh at her.

She's quiet for a few seconds before revealing another reason why she's here.

"I also want to apologize about the whole Romeo and Juliet kiss" she says making me shake my head

"No, it's not your fault, I liked it" I blurt out before I can stop myself

"You did?" She questions with a taken aback facial expression

"Yep, those are the words that just came out of my mouth" I reply nervously as my eyes widen in horror

"Oh, cool" she says trying to seem cool

I practically bang on the door as I smile nervously at her.

"Bailey, open the door!" I yell

She groans from the other side of the door before unlocking it and opening it.

Finally.

"So, are we just going to pretend that you guys didn't have a moment after that make out session?" Bailey questions being as subtle as the sun

"Like I said, it was acting" I reply with a shrug

She laughs at this with obvious amusement.

"Please, Faith and I filmed a whole short film with you guys and, no offense, none of you are that good of an actor" she says

Gee, Bailey.

"Way to deflate a girl's ego" Aurelia jokes

Bailey gives us a mischievous look.

"Mark my words, the both of you will be together by Christmas" she says over dramatically making me roll my eyes

"Bailey, it's September" I reply emotionlessly

"The twenty-ninth to be exact" Aurelia adds on

"All the more time" she replies chirpily

"Bailey, why can't you accept the fact that Aurelia and I don't like each other?" I question curiously

"Aww, Hanna," she coos as she walks up to me

"Sweet, naive, Hanna," she continues as she places her hands on my shoulders

"I think you need a stronger prescription if you can't see what's going on between the two of you" she finishes with a tap on the rim of my glasses making me roll my eyes at her

"You're delusional" I state as I make my way towards my front door

I'm suddenly stopped by Aurelia grabbing my hand and gently tugging me towards her only for me to land in her arms. My hands resting on her shoulders while hers rest on my hips.

"Did I mention how cute you look with glasses?" She smirks as her eyes never leave mine

"But I have to admit, you'd look cuter in my clothes" she jokes with a wink making me roll my eyes

"I'm not doing this with you, Kingsbury," I say as I use my weak muscles to push her away from me

"It was nice seeing you guys, but it's late so" I trail off pointing at the door

"Okay, we'll see you at school" Bailey says before walking off

Aurelia winks at me one more time and follows after Bailey, leaving me slightly star struck.

Calm down, Hanna.

It's just a wink.

Nothing to get riled up about.

-

"Is it true?" Faith shrieks as she runs up to me and practically tackles me in the hall

Oh my goodness.

What's happening?

Did I miss something?!

"Get off of her, Faith!" Bailey says with a surprised facial expression as she pulls her off of me

Faith quickly lets go of me, allowing me to actually breathe.

"Well, is it?" She asks again as I attempt to catch my breath

"Is what true?" I question back

How is it that she always asks me these questions and immediately expects me to know the answer?

I'm not a mind reader, Faith!

"That you're dating Aurelia" she says as if it's obvious

What?!

"No" I reply with a tone of confusion

Confused as to how she knows this.

Why does everyone think that Aurelia and I are dating?

We barely even hang out with each other because of our absurd schedules.

"See, I told you" Bailey says with an over dramatic eye roll making me furrow my brows at her

So she's the reason.

"You told her?" I ask with a slight sad tone

I was hoping that this information would stay between us until I figured out how I felt about Aurelia.

It's not like I want to keep this from Faith, it's just that she doesn't have the best of opinions when it comes to some of my life choices.

I understand that she means well but I'd still like to have a one hundred percent genuine opinion on Aurelia before I tell anyone else.

"Sorry, it slipped" She weakly excuses with a shoulder shrug

"What slipped?" A familiar voice asks as they walk up to us

My eyes instantly widen causing Faith to make an amused facial expression while Bailey makes a confused one.

"My- Uh- My- My-" I stutter stupidly as I face a confused Aurelia

"Bra!" Bailey harshly whispers towards me

"My bra" I say confidently only for my eyes to widen further

Really, Bailey?!

"Your bra slipped?" Aurelia questions me slowly

"My bra slipped," I confirm with a high pitched tone

Aurelia and Bailey continue to give me a confused facial expression while Faith tries not to laugh out loud.

"I- Uh- I have to go" I tell them awkwardly before turning around and speeding towards my class

The bad thing?

The girl that I literally just embarrassed myself in front of is in that class.

Not only is she in my class, she's my table mate too!

So, in conclusion first period is going to be a disaster.

And there's nothing I can do to stop it.

••••••••••••••••••••••

I don't know what to say.

Um, I'm writing this at five in the morning while watching a livestream.

I lowkey can not breathe because of my allergies and my room is really hot.

Basically I feel horrible but it's fine.

That was kind of a TMI situation.

Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely day.

Kisses.
