Leafy's POV

Did he..did he really have to tell me this NOW?? I have no idea how I even feel about him, I mean..I like him..a lot, but do I like like him?
Yes! I do like him! But..I'm always reminded of things he's done before. Not to mention the reaction Coiny would have if we dated. Then again that's all in the past. But what if he didn't change?
I tried to open my mouth to speak, but I couldn't find the words to say. All I could do was look ahead. Thoughts raced through my mind. I kept trying to figure out what to say, when he spoke, breaking the silence.

"Well...?"

I took a deep breath, trying to collect myself. I oh so badly wanted to say yes but all that could come out was

"I don't know"

Oh Jesus why did I say that? I could have said anything else..I could tell Firey didn't like the response either, naturally. It seemed like all that life in his eyes went dull. That sparkle he had a moment ago just vanished without a single trace.

"Oh..You know what? Just forget I said anything. This never happened." He sighed, standing up. "Let's go grab that drink for your bud." I stood up slowly, before my thoughts brought me back to reality. "Firey! Wait." I grabbed his hand, making him turn to face me. "Look. Im really, absolutely flattered you got the courage to say this to me.."
"But?"
"Have you really changed? For better that is. I want you to be honest with me Firey. Tell me."
Surprised, he ruffled his hair. "I..I mean I think I have. For better. Not for worse."
"And are you willing to prove that to me? Are you willing to be a better person from here on?"
"Yes."
"Are you being truthful?"
"I am."
I smiled at him. "Ok then."
"O...ok? Ok what?"
"I'm willing to give you a chance. I'm giving you a chance to prove to me you're willing to be a good person. Meaning you'll stop all this stupid shit, that you'll right all your wrongs. I'll play girlfriend for you for a week. You have a week to prove it to me. One chance. Deal?"
He chuckled, pulling his hand away from mine.
"We have a deal then. Come on."
I sighed in relief, he took it way better then I expected. Of course that still brings up the question..
How do I feel about him?
I mean he's cool and all..he's amazing. But what if he's planning to use me for his own gain? To drag me down with him? And sure I wasn't thinking about this before..but once he told me all these questions surfaced in my mind. Things I never even stopped for a second to consider.
We walked side by side in silence, I felt his hands brush against mine, should I?
No. There's no time for that. We made a deal, and I'm not backing down now. I can play his games too. If he's really being honest and he can change then I'll be seeing it these next 7 days.

Firey's POV

I..I did it? I got her. Well..for a week that is. She's willing to give me a chance..so long as I can prove to her my so called change.
How do I even go about that? Changing your entire personality doesn't just happen overnight. Let alone 7 days. Like yea I did act more like myself which she seems to love but I still have the desire to do all the other stupid shit and cause unneeded drama. All that matters to me right now though is that she's giving me a chance to play Boyfriend with her.
We were walking over to the hot drinks stand and I could feel our hands quickly brushing against one another. How I wanted to grab her hand so badly but at the same time..

That's it. I have an idea. It might be an absolutely stupid idea...but...

"Hey leafy." She looked at me, all her attention on no one else. "Before we get the drink for Coiny and head back..."

Here goes..

"There's this spot I wanted to show you. It has this amazing view. Wanna take a look?" She smiled, and nodded. "Sure. Let's go. Let's make it quick though since I don't want the others questioning what's taking so long."

I led her along, making sure to grab her hand, and took her to a secluded spot no one but me and a couple friends knew about. "This spot is...nice." She said quietly. We sat down on the ground, and I had her look around.

"I come here a lot with my friends. We love to just talk and hang out. I really wanted to share it with you." I trailed off, staring at her while she looked ahead at the view.

Her hair slowly blew with the wind, similar to how it looks in the movies, her eyes sparkled as the stars glittered the sky. She had a big smile on, seeming so calm.

"It's so beautiful Firey.." she whispered. I slowly scooted closer to her, before putting my arm around her. She followed my resting her head on my shoulder.

"Leafy.. I want to cherish my time with you for these next couple days..just in case you decide you're too good for me."

She snickered "oh really? You think I'm too good for you?" She teased, "what makes you think I'll change my mind? Afraid you can't do it?"

"Hmm..not exactly. Your idea of being good and mine are very different." I looked at her and she looked back, still smiling.

"Well then, I'm hoping to see some sort of change then this week. And I'm willing to see your take on being good." By this point we were just inches apart, getting closer...until

*RING RING*

"Oh for the love of all that is good in the world.." leafy snapped, grabbing her phone. "Yea what is it? I'm busy." She stood up, clearly irritated. "Uh huh..yes I know the lines just long. You're gonna meet us in the middle? Ok." She quickly motioned me to get up. "Mhm. Ok. I know. Ok Jesus. I know I'm fine. Bye."

"What was that all about?" I asked leafy as she put her phone away. "It's coiny. He's all bitching and moaning that we're taking too long and to just forget about the drink. Pin is crying about being tired and everyone else just left. God man I can't get a second alone without him bitching to me about something stupid. He could just go home for all I care and I'll just hitch a ride with you." Leafy spat, pissed off.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Wow leafy..and you think I'm the mean one?"
