"chris-?" my voice was soft but still questionable. "hey ace." his voice, familiar but not.
chris was my old best friend. he moved away for a year. i used to like him, but not anymore. "CHRIS!!!!" i squeal and hug him, he hugs me back. i squeal again and invite him inside, "wanna come in?" i ask, pulling his hand in anyway.

"so what are you doing here?" i ask confused. "to visit you, i didn't say goodbye." he says looking down. "i'm sorry." he says looking me in the eyes. "it's okay" i say rubbing his shoulder, "i missed you so much." i say. "but you had bailey and elio? they still together?" i nod "yeah they are" i laugh a bit.

he leans down, and i lean into his face.

"what the actual hell are you doing?" he asks, picking up his credit card from the ground. "uhm. sorry- i- need to go to- the bathroom.." i stutter running out of the room with wetness dripping down my face. oh god, what have i done?

i sit on the closed toilet, thinking why i did that. i'm so stupid. i wipe my tears with a piece of toilet paper and throw it in the bin. i sigh and wash my face with water. i go back to my room, making sure there was no tears rolling down my face, salty liquid.

as i walk back into my room, chris was nowhere to be found. i freeze. what have i done? he left, again.

i hear my front door open. "chris? is that you?" i ask sitting up in my bed. i hear a girl's voice. "no, its us ace." bailey says. us? right. elio and her. "in my room." i say sadly. "did i hear you say chris..?" she asks, sitting on the bed next to me. elio stands at the doorway. "so, you said chris?" she asks, touching my shoulder.

"yeah.. he was-" i stutter, wondering if i should tell her the truth. no. "he came back for some reason. he didn't say why." i say, taking a breath. "i'm sorry." she says, wrapping her arms around me. elio comes over, doing the same with his warm body. it was comforting.

i sniff, holding in my tears. water wanted to pour out of my eyes, i couldn't let it happen. i couldn't tell them what happened. it felt wrong, something i shouldn't have done.
my voice trembles and i release a sigh, "you really missed him didn't you?" bailey asks. "n-no." i say as elio was standing next to me. "yes you do, ace. admit it" she says removing her hand. "i only missed him as a friend." i glance at elio and he looked concerned for me.

"well, doesn't matter anymore." i say standing up out of my bed. i stand up, turning on the radio and bailey and i start dancing, and laughing. elio even joins in a little bit.

i wake up and i start to scroll on my phone, sitting on the floor. bailey was fast asleep in my bed and elio was laying next to her, facing down to me. at one point, i swear i saw him wink at me.. maybe i was just imagining things, but i swear of it.

bailey suddenly stops snoring and turns to elio. "hey beautiful" he says and kisses her. i start blushing. my skin starts to heat up, probably showing the unusual rising pinkness. i sit up properly, looking at bailey this time. "hey." i say as she groans and sits up, grabbing elio's hand.

"oh hey, sorry we hogged the bed last night" she says pushing her hair behind her ears. "no, it's fine!" i smile generously.
we get ready, bailey taking some of my clothes and elio wearing the same clothes as before.

we go outside after getting ready, i warm up the car, waiting for them to get in. as they hop in the back together. i laugh softly, hoping they wouldn't hear it.

i drive to our school, drinking a coffee that we stopped for. i see the big school building in the distance which meant we were close to having another long day of boring school, as they say....

i drive into the school carpark, finding a park straight away. we were super early. we just had to wait. i had to wait in a car with elio and bailey. just us, sitting in an empty carpark. only two cars among the whole carpark.
