Hailey's POV:

"Why do you always deny that you're pretty, I think you're really fucking beautiful just how you are, you should try accepting it for a change." He says as he stares into my eyes.

"Because I don't believe-" I try to speak but he cuts me off by quickly pressing his lips against mine and pulling away after a few seconds.

"That's the second time I've had to do that, let's not make it a third." He said smirking.

I just blushed and went silent. What do you expect me to do? Flirt back, because that's not happening.

"Well, somebody is at a loss for words."

"Again." He said with a smirk.

"Yeah yeah, shut up... let's just... can we avoid this right now? I'm just glad we're talking again... I don't want anything to mess us up..." I say quietly and avoiding eye contact.

"Sure." He said normally.

"Oh. Ok! Well then let's go play with Sugar now." I said quickly. Wow... that was really easy?

"Oh... my... GOSH!!!" I hear Alissa screaming from the doorway.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" Matt and I both freak out and jump a little because we didn't hear the door open.

"How long were you standing there?" I ask quickly.

"Not too long..." she said with a smile as Chris appeared behind her.

"Long enough to watch you guys kiss and Matt flirt, and you turn him down." Chris said.

"Chris, why the fuck are you holding a dog?" Matt asks, very quickly avoiding the fact they've been watching us be awkward for way... too long.

"Oh, this is Pixie! I got her for Lis." He said with a smile.

"Oh someone's bringing the nicknames back? He's in love." Matt says to me and we both start giggling.

"Shut up." They both said at the same time and it only made us giggle more.

"So... you did it then?" Matt said and I just gave him a questionable look.

Chris nodded and Alissa just grabbed her dog out of Chris's arms and then dragged me to her room, locking the door.

"Hey, what the hell?!" I heard Chris and Matt yell from outside the room but they seemed to shrug off the fact we just ditched them because they didn't complain after.

"GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!?!?" Alissa screamed jumping up and down.

"What?" I say blandly.

"YOU COULD AT LEAST BE EXCITED ASSHOLE." She yelled and I laughed a little.

"Okay, fine fine. What!?" I say, excitedly.

"You're looking at Christopher Owen Sturniolo's official girlfriend!" She said, still holding her dog so I just gave her like a half-hug.

"Okay, that's like actually amazing for you, but I 100% blew it with Matt." I say, giving the dog a small pat on the head, before my adorable cat Sugar jumped up on the bed, I'm questioning how she slipped under the door... guess most of her is just fur.

"Well, the asshole got you a cat, kissed you, flirted with you, and you still said 'ohhh Matt! Let's avoid talking about our feelings for each other and stay friends!'" She said, mocking me using her fingers for air quotes.

"Oh cmon. I don't want to fucking tell him I like him like that, I don't want to ruin anything when I just got him back." I say with a frown.

"Oh darling, you do realize he feels the same fucking way, right?" She says and I shake my head.
