"Hi."

"Hi...? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk...again."

"You know, I hear that every time from a girl who wants to have sex with me," he smirks.

"Oh shut up, are you gonna let me in or not? I'm freezing my tits off."

"Hot chocolate then?" he asks moving asides to let me in.

"Please? And ext-

"Extra marshmallows, I know."

"Finally got tired of the sticky notes huh?"

"No, I just came to a realization and there's something I needed to say."

"You came to your senses right in time. I was running low on sticky notes."

"Is that why you stopped writing me mean notes for a week that one time in 8th grade?"

He laughs awkwardly, "Yeah. you could say that...You remembered that?"

"Of course I had. You were so consistent with your pestering I looked forward to your notes. You know, for such a smartass your grammar was terrible."

"Shut up."

"I looked forward to correcting your spelling and grammatical errors, it really was hilarious," I laugh.

"You wanted to talk?...Again."

"Ha ha very funny, but I do. As you know I hate your guts, well maybe a little less now because you're well...different. You've grown up I guess and your guts are slightly more bearable. I'm not who I was three years ago, so maybe you've changed too, and I'm willing to allow you to prove that to me."

"Aww Princess, that's really sweet but, you're not my type," he says mockingly holding his chest.

"As if you're my type," I laugh. "Gross."

Okay maybe I'm pushing it. Greyson is gorgeous.

"Thank you," was all he says.

My laughter dries up immediately and I nod placing down my mug of hot chocolate. "I've realized that there are always two sides of a story. I know mine, but I don't know yours. And despite what I felt and still feel toward you, you have feelings too."

"I don't completely understand the damage I caused but I want to. I just, want things to move slow. That okay?"

"Yeah..." I whisper, "Perfect."

"Great. Your mandarin book's on the counter... by the way."

"Wow getting rid of me already?"

"My girlfriend's coming over, she gonna kill me if you're here. So yeah."

"Oh, I didn't mean to intrude. See you tom—"

I'm practically outside when he grabs my wrist to stop me from leaving and pulls me closer to him, "Relax Princess, I'm just messing with you."

I stare at him, cheeks burning at the close proximity. "I knew that. I just—I have to leave soon? Yeah I have somewhere to be."

Did I mention I'm a terrible liar?

"Yeah?" He's so close, his minty breath fans my cheeks as he stares directly into my eyes.

He's challenging me.

I never back down from a challenge.

I hold his piercing gaze with unwavering confidence despite the fact that the green in his eyes can turn my legs into puddy. I stand strong.

"Yeah."

"Okay then." He inches closer and I stumble back, just a little. I don't know what the hell is happening neither am I prepared for what's going to.

"See ya." Is all he says before lightly pushing my shoulders back and slamming the door in my face. Despite the little contact I nearly fall flat on my ass.

"Dickface!" I yell, but I smile heading back to my car.

Some things just don't change.
