Cadence's P.O.V.

Things were awkward. Like, really awkward.

Penny did a horrible job of keeping her voice at a whisper, so Axel heard her declare her thoughts on how she thought something was up.

And something was definitely up.

We almost kissed, and I can't stop thinking about it! I don't even like him! Everyone I know loves him. I don't. I don't want to be apart of his drug dealing, or smoking or sniffing or whatever druggies do.

Not only does Penny known about our 'almost kiss', making it weirder every time he comes into view, not to mention the squealing and nudging she does when he is like, right next to us.

And then there is Jane. She can't keep her mouth closed if her life depended on it. She just keeps talking to him. Inviting him over, telling stories about me, embarrassing the living hell out of me, basically.

I haven't talked to him for the past three days. I guess not talking makes everything just a tad bit more awkward, but talking wouldn't exactly solve all problems.

Oh, who am I shitting? Of course it would!

I sigh, inwardly since I'm in the middle of a boring lecture that is somehow supposed to get me a job. Axel, of course, is in this class. His stupid eyes haven't left the side if my head since the beginning of this class. It is distracting me and making me extremely uncomfortable. Do I have something on the side of my face? For real. No one looks at someone that long unless they have something on their face. It's not normal.

I slowly, but surely turn my head towards Axel. He doesn't turn his eyes away from me, nor do I. So now we are having an awkward stare down. He seems to be glaring rather than staring. If they are any different. Which I know they are because he looked sorta mad. I'm completely and utterly confused on why he would be mad. It's not like I was the one who dove in for the kiss. I may have closed my eyes, but his lips brushed mine. So it's his fault. Definitely.

Since winning this staring contest isn't on the top of my list, I look away and back at the professor. Ugh, boys. They're so dramatic. Why do the girls get labeled dramatic? I mean, boys start a lot of shit. And then they don't let it go, for like, ever. I hear by declare, Axel Bates, a drama king.

When the lecture is over I get out if there as quickly as possible. I don't really want to stick around for another one of Axel's famous glares. I text Penny to meet me by my car. Her class is about 20 minutes longer than mine, so I have extra time to just hang around. Which I used today to lounge in my car.

Well, I was lounging until Axel came walking towards my car, with that same old stupid glare on his face.

I sit up in my seat, deciding that since he is standing right next to my car, that he probably wants me to roll my window down. Oh god. I'm not prepared for this at all.

I reluctantly roll my window down and raise an eyebrow at Axel. "What?"

He doesn't say anything and continues to glare at me. After what seemed like an hour of a staring contest I sigh. "Axel. If you want to talk to me. Just do it, because these stupid staring contest are starting to push my buttons. So get on with it."

"Why have you been ignoring me?"

I scoff. "I don't know. Maybe because you almost kissed me?"

He laughs.

He fucking laughed. For real? I thought we were going to talk this out or something, but no, of course not! What was I expecting from him? Some flowers?

"If I wanted to kiss you, I would have."

My mouth is probably wide open at this point. "You're kidding right?" I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths to keep myself from lashing out at him. "I should have known you were to cocky to admit it."

"Oh, please, Cadence," He says, spitting out my name out of his mouth like a sun flower seed. "Don't flatter yourself."

I'm honestly taken aback. I didn't think he was actually an asshole. But now I see. He's a huge asshole.

"You know what?" I hiss. "Once you get your head out of your ass, then we can talk about this like adults. But until then, stay the hell away from me."

I start my car and drive off telling Penny that I'm gonna pick her up by the doors.

She frowns when she gets in. "What happened?" She says, but that gasps dramatically. "Did you talk to-"

"That stupid dick faced prick. Yes. I talked to him."

Penny raises her eyebrow. "Are you going to tell me what happened, or?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Not the why game, Penny."

"There is a stop sign up there."

"I know. I did pass my driver's test."

She dramatically blows out air out of her mouth and sighs. "I wanna know!" She whines. "Why won't you tell me?"

"Because."

"Oh my god!" Penny screeches. "Cadence Riley is embarrassed!"

I scoff. "Whatever."

"Oh, this is a record! She's denying it! That's the first sign!"

"What? No!"

"More denial." Penny sings. "What did he say? You have to tell me! I'm your best friend!"

I sigh. "He said that he wasn't going to kiss me."

Penny's mouth drops. "What?"

"I know, right? He's a complete dick!"

Penny smirks at me. "I wasn't talking about that."

I frown in confusion.

"You like him!" She sings.

I laugh. "You know what, since you're just going to say if I deny it that it is a 'sign' I'm just going to laugh. Because that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."

Penny scoffs. "Whatever girly you'll see. And then I can say I told you so."
