He's cold, insensitive and rude... But why can't I stay away?
********************
My love life was the last of my problems. Last year, bullies, penny less... Senior year didn't present itself exactly as a dream. And everything gets even worst when...

"Like this?"
"Mm, a little higher."
"Okay... What about now?"
"Better- Good, actually."
"Yes?" I smiled proudly, looking back from Macy to the mirror and examined the work. After almost an hour of her teaching how to properly apply an eyeliner it finally felt good to succeed.
"Yes." she appeared by my side on the reflection, her head popping over my shoulder with a smile. "Wow, now your eyes look even bigger."
A blush climbed up my neck and I shoved her teasingly. "Isn't it the whole purpose of this?"
"Indeed it is." she laughed, walking back towards her bed and dropping there nonchalantly. "Just saying it really looks good on you."
The inner me bloated in content. "Thanks."
"Anytime." she grinned up at me. Laying her weight on her elbows. "Actually, Norah was planning to get you to the mall the next weekend, hoping you'll be inspired by some of the stuff she was going to get herself. But apparently you're taking the initiative and all." I blushed harder. Macy dropped backwards, making the mattress bounce a little. "Can I ask for the sudden interest?"
"I mean, why not?" I cleared my throat, straightening my back in an attempt to appear more confident. "I just wanted to try."
"Sure." she huffed. "A week ago you didn't even know there was such a thing as an eyelash curler, and now you want some tips. But yeah, why not? I'm sure there's no deeper intention behind it."
I squirmed, turning to my reflection once more. "S-so what?"
"Nothing." she chuckled. "But," she smiled, pushing her hair off her face and gave me that knowing look. "About that thing about you and Connor." I blushed to my roots at her tone. "Is it true? I've been meaning to ask you, but with the recent drama and all..." I almost grimaced at the mention of Jade's return. She'd kept her distance since that threat the first day, buy me felt awfuleverytime I get to share the same room as her. Just knowing she's in the same building got my nerves having a stroke. But the girls were always around. And, surprisingly, so was Connor. He would wait by my locker and walk me to class. Silent, but there. And that was heart warming itself. "Norah said you spend the whole afternoon together and didn't come back until late night. "Norah was damn confused about it this morning. Have you talked to her?"
"Not yet."
"Well, I'm sure she's gonna give you a mouthful."
"Uh, look, why don't you go sweet talked her into going easy on me? Tonight, maybe? At some point during the date you might just, like, drop it?"
Oh, right, these two were having the very first hang out with them being an actual couple. A date. But for the calm way she was taking it, I could tell I was more ecsatic about it than Norag was. How? Macy was always so collected, so serene. Against Norah's craziness.
