"well?" i heard in the faint distance. "gianna!" drew yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"huh? what?" i asked trying to remember what she was asking.

"what does the card say?"

i read the card again in my head:
"to a very deserving soul,
- M. Vorce"

what the fuck? matthew paid for my drinks, now he's sending me flowers? how does he know where i live? actually, why would he send tulips out of all flowers. is this a threat?

'a very deserving soul.'

"uh.. nothing," i said quickly balling the note card up and putting in my bra. "it's actually not for me. wrong address," i lied. i went over to my trash can and threw the tulips down in there and washed my hands.

billie and drew furrowed their eyebrows "but didn't he say your na-"

"nope anywayyyyy," i dragged on. "im glad we can all be friends again!" i exclaimed, walking back to my chair with a huge smile on my face like nothing just happened.

"me too," drew said getting up and hugging me. "i actually gotta go though so i'll talk to you guys later," she grinned before walking out.

"so that's why you called drew over?" billie looked at me.

"um? i didn't. drew called and asked if she could come over to talk," i started. "we talked out our past and we're gonna be friends again," i smiled.

"hmm well i'm glad to hear that," billie started. "what about you and i?"

"what about you and i?"

"friends?"

"i don't think matthew would like that," i taunted.

"gianna," she said sternly.

"billie have you ever told anyone about my allergy to tulips?" i asked, tilting my head, getting off topic.

"no why? who sent you those?" she asked.

"um i don't know. it was anonymous," i lied.

"well who all have you told about your allergy?" she asked me.

"just my friends back home and you and drew," i said. "but don't worry about it."

"so what about us being friends?" billie emphasized.

"okay billie fine but it has to be dl. i don't trust your boyfriend," i crossed my arms.

"what do you mean?" she asked in confusion.

i cant tell her that he sent those flowers or ordered and paid for my drinks. not yet. i have to see what is up on my own first.

"i just don't. because first of all i could see the look on his face at the party when he saw us talking. that smile couldn't have been more fake," i said.

"yea he does get jealous when it comes to you," billie admitted.

"are you saying that i get brought up?" i asked with my eyebrows raised.

"i mean he may have caught me stalking your instagram a few times," she looked down and started playing with her fingers.

"billie!" i laughed. "you were stalking me?"

"yea man," she laughed. "bro he would catch me at the worse points too. like id be zooming in on your bikini pics and then boom he'd pop up behind me," she explained.

"oh my god," i laughed. i'm very flattered and happy that she still missed me but i won't show it :/ i honestly don't know how i feel about her. her dating matthew just takes me back to when i saw them together last year after we broke up.
