My person

28

"So, is anyone else kind of secretly happy that Mal and Dansby broke up?, Kelley asks suddenly.

We are sitting in Kelley's room doing nothing. Just waiting for time to pass by. With we I mean, Everyone except for Christen, Tobin and Mallory. The three of them went to do something together. I went to hang out with the others.

"I mean. No offence, but we didn't even know the guy. Like all of the sudden she is with them and then he cheats and they break up. Like what was the purpose of the relationship?", Kelley continues not giving a shit about the others.

"Mal told me they had sex. And then not a day later they broke up", Rose speaks up. I look up when I hear that. They had sex?

"Oooh.  Baby Mal isn't a virgin anymore", Emily says excitedly.

"Okay. Stop talking about Mallory's sex life please", I plead them, kind of feeling sad about it.

"Why? It's not like someone cares", Kelley says dismissively.

"I do"

"What, do you have a crush on Mal or something?", she asks cluelessly.

"In fact, I do", I answer honestly. I thought everyone knew. Ash told me it was obvious. But guess Kelley is as oblivious as my crush is.

"Wait really? We need to get you guys together", Emily says excitedly, already planning shit with Kelley. This isn't going to end well.

After that, their plan had started.

-

"I think this is a bad idea", I confess as I look upon the iceskating ring. I can't skate for shit. With my long legs and clumsiness, I'm going to look like bambi in those skates.

"No worries, Y/nn. I will stay with you", Mallory smiles sweetly at me. As much as I appreciate her gesture, I don't know if that is enough.

Kelley and Emily's plan A to get Mal and I together was to go ice skate. One of us is bad, obvious it's me, and that means Mal is going to stay by my side and hold my hand. Or that's how Kelley and Emily think how it's going to go.

And it did. Mal stayed by my side, holding my hand or clinging to my waist, holding me up. She was cute with her nose and small ears red from the cold. But being cute wasn't enough to keep me up my feet.

Within two minutes, I fell on my back, my head hitting the ice hard. I groan out in pain. "I fucking told you it was a bad idea", I growl at Kelley. "I'm gonna stop before I can't play soccer anymore".

I step out of the skating ring with Mal's help. When I sit down on the bench to take off the skates, she pulls off the beanie of my head to check for wounds.

"I'm fine, Mal", I tell her as I change my skates for my comfortable vans.

"Just checking. Can't let this pretty boy get hurt", She winks at me. I blush furiously. Luckily for me, I was already red because of the cold, so she didn't notice.

I sat on the side for the next two hours, sipping on hot chocolate and watching the others have fun.

Guess plan A failed.

-

Plan B wasn't much better. For this plan they decided to go to a theme park. Little do they know, I have a fear of heights.

They pushed me to go with Mal on the ferris wheel. I am holding the bar in a dead grip. I shut my eyes close.

"Y/nn? Are you okay?", the girl next to me asks concerned.

"I'm fine", I mumble. I feel her hand on the back of my neck, scratching my nape softly with her long nails, trying to calm me down.

"Is it almost over?", I ask her in a small voice. I ain't gonna kiss her here when I am literally a minute away from puking.

The moment we touch the ground again, I hunch over the closest bin and puke the food I ate earlier.

Plan B failed.

-

Next plan is trying to make her jealous. I have to flirt with Kelley in order to get Mal jealous. I feel like this is the worst plan of all of them. This can go seriously wrong. The other ones were harmless this one isn't.

We are having diner when Kelley comes to sit next to me. "Hey pretty boy. Do you like your diner? Or you wanna eat something else?"

I laugh innerly. What kind of flirting is this?

"Whatcha offering?", I ask cheekily.

She comes closer to my face and pretends to whisper something in my ear. Then she pulls back but keeps her face close to mine.

"This is the part where you're supposed to kiss me", Kelley tells me loudly. Everyone is looking at us at this point.

I'm not gonna kiss her.

"That's not gonna happen", I tell her.

"Just do it!"

"Fine", I roll my eyes. Then I kiss the palm of my own hand. Then I slap Kelley's face.

Plan C failed.

-

Last plan was to flirt with Mal. I'm not good at flirting and the others found that out when I tried.

The first time, it was just sad:
"You look like trash", I tell Mal as I eye her body.

She looks at me offended but doesn't say anything.

"Let me take you out"

"Y/n, this is NOT how we rehearsed it", Kelley says as she pulls me away from the, now confused, girl.

The second time was even worse.

Mal walks by me, talking to Rose. "Fuck you", I say to her, interrupting her conversation.

She looks at me confused but doesn't say anything at first. Then she answers "uh fuck you too".

I look back at Kelley happily, grinning like a idiot. I laugh happily.

"Dude that's not how it works", Kelley facepalms.

After that, the plans stopped. They realised how bad I am at this.

"Having a crush is like having that little piece of rock stuck in your shoe and you stop walking and shake it out and you're pretty sure it's gone but then a half hour later you feel it under your too and you're like oh no", I tell them later that night.

Little did I know, Mal had also a little rock in her shoe.
