I couldn't understand it. Why did Hayden have to hide so much from me. And why did I get this feeling that she hates me or that I make her really uncomfortable?

Ever since I moved from Maine, my life just did a complete U-Turn. Before every girl seemed to want me. And I was kind of a huge player in my old school. Here every girl is throwing themselves at me... But not Hayden. She thinks I don't see her blush when I make her smile. But I do. It's like she's afraid to smile.

Whatever her secret is, I'm going to find out! One way or another.

Sat in the lunch hall picking at my food because I wasn't very hungry, even though I need to eat to maintain muscle mass. I was too zoned out to make conversation with anyone. I was practically burning a hole into the side of her head the way I was staring at her.

Why didn't she like me? Even as friends. She seemed to hate me. I guess it's kind of hard to be friends with someone when they won't tell you their first name. I know I could find out her name easily by asking someone but that's not the point, I wanted her to tell me.

"Yo Blair, you up for that?"

I shook my head as if to erase my thoughts.

"Sorry what?" I asked.

"Darren's party on Saturday! Should be wild man!"

"Urgh yeah whatever." I brought my gaze back to Hayden. She was laughing her little head off. Her eyes watered and she sat there fanning her face.

Why couldn't she be like that with me. All I wanted to be was her friend. She has a secret I know it! She glanced over at me. I grinned. She didn't return it. She looked back at her friends and then her smiled appeared. Once she had forgotten all about me.

Great.

I put one earphone in and played don't by Ed Sheeran. Thinking back to yesterday made me smile. That was the first time she had actually smiled around me. Wish she would smile like that all the time.

Oh Hayden, you are a mysterious girl!

I need to forget about her. I tried to join back into the conversation.

"She's such a bitch but she's totally hot though!" Bert said.

"Who is?" I asked.

"Emma. Haven't you been listening?" He said in a 'duh' tone.

"Who's Emma?" I asked. I probably sounded like an idiot right now.

"Emma, the one I talk to?" He put emphasis on I. It was possessive.
"Emma Hayden?" He finished.

Crap! So much for her telling me her name herself

"Why is she a bitch?" My brows pulled together in confusion. I couldn't imagine her doing anything bitch like. She was sometimes touchy but she wasn't ever bitchy.

"We had this thing last year, she was so possessive and clingy. She over reacted about everything. But she so hot. Shame."

"Huh." I said thoughtfully. I never imagined her and Bert.

"Don't even think about it." He said sternly.

"About what?" I questioned.

"We may of ended but you can't get with her. I'll beat you up good if you do." He told me. His eyes darkened, I knew I could take him, I was twice the size of him.
