It's finally Friday. I can't wait to stay in bed the whole weekend.

"Pumpkin!" I hear a familiar voice behind me and I turn around knowing exactly who is it.

"Roman!" I reply back with the same excitement. "I think I should come up with a nickname for each of you guys." I continued and Roman seems excited? At first I found the nickname 'pumpkin' kinda weird, but now I can't help it but like it.

"Yes!" He says and hugs me taking me by surprise, but of course I hugged him back. He literally is like a little kid.

Roman seems like a scary guy, he was scary for me when he first talked to me, but his goofy and sometimes flirty personality makes it difficult to be scared of him now.

I noticed how Jordan is looking weirdly at us. My first thought is that he feels excluded, it's so awkward when two people show affection to each other and you are just awkwardly standing there smiling, well in Jordan's case I would say glaring. Or maybe he wants a hug too? I mean who knows, he is probably just annoyed, that makes more sense.

"This guys never gave me a nickname, they are so boring." Roman says with a pout in his face.

"I do have one for you tho." Blake says and Roman's eyes lit up a bit.

"Dumbass."

"Your name is literally Blake, you have no right to talk." Roman says making Blake stop laughing, but I couldn't stop myself.

Jordan doesn't looks so annoyed anymore, but he still glances at me sometimes. His shirt! He probably is waiting for me to give it back and I forget it at my house.

After three boring classes, it was finally lunch time. Time for me to give them the brownies I baked, I'm nervous they won't like it. When I entered the cafeteria I noticed the boys already sitting there and I take a sit between Roman and Jordan.

"Hey guys! I have a surprise for you." I say and they look at me curiously, except for Jordan, of course. He seems uninterested as always.

"What is it?" Roman asks and I open my topper with brownies.

"Well I wanted to bake some brownies for you guys, since you have been so good with me." I say looking at my weirdly shaped brownies unsure, but when I saw their amused looks all those nervous emotions where replaced by thrill.

"Brownies!!" Roman says excitedly and I hand all of them a piece.

"I hope you guys like it." I say seeing them eating the brownie, even Jordan, I thought he wouldn't want it or something, but he did.

"This are the best brownies I've ever had! I could kiss you right now." Roman says while eating his brownie and I unconsciously blush at his chose of words. Roman is always like this, it means nothing.

I hear Jordan doing a small and quiet irritated noise besides me, I'm sure Roman and Blake couldn't hear it, but I did since I was sitting next to him. I turned around to see what's wrong, but he doesn't even looks at me since he is busy giving Roman a deadly look for some reason, while Roman is just happily eating his brownie not caring about anything or anyone else.

"Well if y'all liked them that much I'll try to bake some often."

"Thank you so much Adi, I love them." Blake says still eating his brownie and I smile at him in return.

After eating our brownies we all headed to our classes and I wanted to cry at the thought of having more classes because it means more homework.

By the end of my classes I noticed I had an unread message from Jess. Finally.

Jess: Hey beb! I'm good I've been just chilling around. I'll see you tomorrow!<3

I'm glad she is ok, I was getting worried there was something wrong.

Jordan's POV

"Bro I swear this teacher is so annoying, why can't they understand we are not always in the mood to do homework." Roman says while I'm just looking through my phone, I couldn't care less.

"When do you ever do homework?"

"Well I'm never in the mood, that's the whole point, Blake." Roman defends. Their stupid conversation is annoying me already.

"Jordan, stop with the 'quiet mysterious guy' act. Not cool man." Roman says looking at me. He's definitely looking for me to beat his ass, after all his bullshit today my inexistent patience is over.

"You are acting like a fucking desperate 8th grader and I'm not complaining you dumbfuck." I say irritated. I'm done with his stupid ass.

"Stop this shit, you both acting like 8th graders." Blake says and I turn back to ignoring them. I'm busy looking for Adira so we can go already.

"Whatever." I say to them and left when I spotted Adira looking at her phone in the middle of the hallway.

She can be so naive sometimes, who even just stands in the middle of the fucking hallway.

"Hey." I say dryly making her look up at me.

"Oh hey! We can go now, I'm not making you wait this time." She says. I don't even mind waiting for her, but it's annoying if it's because of some shithead.

I'm glad that annoying blond fuck isn't here to annoy me today, his face seems so punchable this last couple days.

"Let's go." I say and I feel the weird need to put my hand in her back, but I don't do it. I gotta stop thinking about fucking doing that, what the fuck is wrong with me.

Adira's POV

I remembered that in some minutes it will start the match of my favorite football soccer team. Like I said before, football soccer is what brings joy and thrill to my life recently, I really enjoy watching my favorite's team matches, and I hated missing them because it's just one per week. So like imagine having that taste of serotonin just once a week and then on top of that you miss it and have to wait two weeks.

After about two minutes trying to decide what I should do, I decided I should just watch it in my phone while we drive home, with earphones of course. Not tryna annoy Jordan with so much noise.

I made an irritated sound because of the game and Jordan gave me a questioning look but I just kept watching the game.

This is so ridiculous but I'm not tryna lose like 20 minutes of my happiness, and I mean as long as I'm just quietly watching it, I don't think that should annoy him.

"What happened? No!" I accidentally say aloud when my phone died, literally few minutes after I started using it.

"The hell is going on?" He asks and I take my earphones off since I'm even not using them anymore.

"Sorry, my phone died and I was watching a soccer game." I say embarrassed, now I was actually being annoying.

"You can put it in the radio." He says turning on the radio of his car for me. This is the nicest thing he has done for me today.

I didn't even hesitate and put the game in the radio so I can at least hear the narration. I'll just try to keep it lowkey.

But my 'keep it lowkey' mission was over as soon as I heard the narrator screaming that there was a score from my team.

My excitement got a bit out of control and I let out a excited little scream bringing my hands to my mouth instinctively.

I'm being annoying. Like I should literally shut up.

"Sorry for that." I say after my little cringe act but he doesn't says anything and kept driving but looking at me occasionally, which made me extremely self-conscious. He is probably contemplating his choices right now, like should he kick me out of the car in this exact moment or just keep driving and never ever talk to me again? I just know both sound tempting for him.

Ok I'm shutting up.

"I left your shirt inside my house, I'll go get it." I say as he parks the car in front of my house. "You can come in if you want." I add feeling rude I didn't invited him in, and to my surprise he does come in.

I quickly head upstairs where I left it, Jordan waiting for me downstairs. I forgot the shirt, but at least I didn't forgot the brownies.

"Here is it." I say giving it to him.

"Thanks." He simply says and I just give him a little smile.

"Jordan, I'm sorry if you felt excluded earlier." I say still feeling bad about earlier when me and Roman hugged, Blake and him probably felt excluded. I know how sad is that feeling, so I don't want anyone to feel that way because of my fault.

"If you want a hug you can always ask for it." I say getting closer to him and without thinking I wrap my arms around his waist to give him a hug.

I felt his body tensing in my embrace, he didn't tried to move me away, but he also didn't hugged me back. He just didn't moved at all. I waited a few moments and give up when he didn't hugged me back. He probably never wanted a hug in the first place, this is so embarrassing.

I stepped back feeling extremely embarrassed, regretting every single decision that led me to do this, what was I even thinking. This is why I overthink, whenever I act instinctively I do stupid things.

Mental note: just keep overthink every single outcome.

"Uh I'm sorry, I'm not doing that again." I say playing with my fingers nervously.

I didn't even wanted to look at him in the eyes anymore, I wanted to move to another continent and change my name.

When I noticed he wasn't saying anything either, I took the courage to look at him. I noticed he was already looking at me, and when our eyes locked I looked away. He seems bothered, but I understand, I mean who even hugs someone out of nowhere, just a weirdo like me would do that. Anyways why the heck would Jordan want a hug from me, my logic is messed up.

"I need to go." He says and I feel relieved since this was so awkward.

"Sure, thank you for the ride!" I say quickly unlocking my door, I can't wait for him to go, which I know sounds rude but I can't with this humiliation.

He goes away and I just want to lock myself in my room till I'm like 80 and I won't even have the energy to embarrass myself.

Thank god I'm not seeing him tomorrow since today is Friday, maybe he would forget by Monday? Who knows but I would definitely not forget my stupid move.

Mental note: just shut up girl.
