"This isn't you Cade." My voice is small.
I don't know if I'll ever understand why he suddenly changed, but I'm grateful he did. Whatever happened to him is a benefit to what is happening to us right now.
Cade tucks the strands of my hair that fall...

"Are you ever gonna tell me what happened between you two or?" Ophelia gestures her fore finger between Cade and I.
I shook my head with a frown sitting on my face. It's been a week since the shit Cade pulled at school.
The four of us are in our usual meet up spot which is the diner, after we closed from school.
Zayn and Cade are seated opposite Ophelia and I. Cade has headphones on and his eyes are glued to his textbook and notes on the table.
This is what he's been doing since that day, he focuses on studying anytime we hang out. Not that it's a bad thing, but I didn't ever think he was the serious reading type.
Even if I didn't care or wanna notice, because I'm really mad at him, I still did.
I noticed he doesn't talk like before. He smiles way less or gives a response of 'yeah' or 'sure' anytime Zayn and Ophelia start up a conversation.
He looks distant, like he's physically here but he isn't. I don't wanna blame it on my reaction to his annoying words that caused me to slap him, because I don't regret doing what I did.
He had no right to say such things to me. What did he think? That I'm some dumb teenage girl who's gonna fall hopelessly for a guy like Kyle?
As much as I feel like punching Cade again for saying such things to me like I'm the most clueless girl on this planet, I'm worried about him.
"I don't wanna know what happened between you two." I divert my eyes from my food to Zayn at his voice. He nudges Cade arm to get his attention.
Cade takes off his headphone before Zayn continues. "But you better work it out, cause this awkward tension isn't working out for me anymore." He states, then takes a long draw of his strawberry marshmallow milkshake.
"Yeah it isn't." Ophelia chips in.
I look back to my tacos and milkshake that has been sitting in front of me untouched.
"Seriously guys what happened? It's been a week already and neither of you wanna tell us what's wrong." Ophelia utters in a worried tone.
I decided not to tell Ophelia for some reason, which is something I've never done before. I tell her everything and so does she.
I just don't think she needs to know what's going on between Cade and I or feed her desperation either. Infact there's nothing to tell in the first place.
I know the tension is awkward between us and it's very noticable and thick. I've been expecting Cade to apologise for days now, but he hasn't said a word to me.
He hasn't even looked at me.
I don't want him or what he does to affect me. I'm trying not to give a shit, but I finding myself craving to know what is wrong with him.
