THE WEEK AFTER THE TWIN'S BIRTHDAY Faith decided to come clean to Josie and Lizzie about the kiss she shared with Rafael.

"What do you want to talk about?" Josie asked. "Seems important."

"Yeah, well..." Faith hesitated. Lizzie raised a brow at her in question. "So I might have, sort of kissed Rafael." She spoke the last part with urgency putting her hands up as she continued. "And before you get mad at me... I'm really sorry about it. I mean it just happened, and I wasn't thinking straight at all. You have to know that I would never intentionally hurt both of you like that."

"..."

Faith stared awkwardly at the two nervous by their silence. "Um, could you say something please?"

"I'm not mad at you, Faith," Josie told her with a shrug of her shoulders. "I'm kind of over Rafael anyway."

Faith sighed in relief at Josie's response then she looked over at Lizzie. "Lizzie?"

"Oh, I'm not angry with you either, Faith." Lizzie smiled at Faith forcefully which the girl took notice of.

"Are you sure, because you look like—" Faith started.

"I said I'm not angry with you," Lizzie assured with that same smile on her face worrying not only Faith but Josie as well.

"THAT WENT WELL." Faith spoke with a smile on her face as she walked to her and Hope's dorm.

Lizzie may have told her that she could not talk to her for a few days— a fitting punishment Lizzie said it would be— but Faith guessed she deserved it.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?" Kaleb asked as he sat at a table next to Noah who looked like he was sulking.

"Nothing." Noah sighed as he looked over to the vampire.

M.G. spotted the both of them deciding to join their conversation.

"He's probably just mad that Faith isn't speaking to him right now." M.G. shrugged nonchalantly. Kaleb gave both of them a look of surprise.

"Seriously, M.G.?" Noah looked at him in disbelief.

"What?—" M.G. began.

"Wait, hold up." Kaleb looked at Noah with amusement. "You like Faith Mikaelson? Faith Mikaelson?"

"No!" Noah shouted denying his accusations. He glared at both the vampires in front of him with narrowed eyes, "I don't."

"That flustered look on your face says otherwise," Kaleb said as he and M.G. both started laughing. "Wow, man that's crazy you like actually look like you're blushing right now."

Annoyed by them, Noah proceeded to get up from his seat about to walk away.

"Wait, wait," M.G. said. "Sorry for laughing at you."

"Whatever..." Noah said. "It's not exactly like she likes me anyway."

"I don't know, man," Kaleb told him. "Faith is hard on herself. She has this weird psychology or something where she think that as long as Hope isn't happy she can't be. Faith just doesn't let herself have things she could."

"Yeah, Kaleb's right," M.G. said. "And I've seen how you guys are with each other. She doesn't trust people or let them in that quickly. It would normally take time for her to warm up to other people, and that's only if she decides to. You both got on so quickly it almost looked like you'd been friends for years."
