I've looked into the kitchen and into the living room. There is no sign of her parents anywhere. Her dad did tell me that they might not be at home today that's why he told me there's a spare key under the Welcome mat outside the house. He said Holly would be sleeping.
He just didn't tell me with who.
My jaw tightens when the image appears in my mind that I witnessed two minutes ago.
Why the fuck did I even come here?
Oh right because I wanted to see if she was alright or not.
And guess what? She pretty damn well is alright.
I don't even know what I'm getting worked up for. Maybe it's the fact that after showing interest in me, I find her with someone else.
It's stupid. I'm stupid.
I'm here standing in the middle of the living room now, replaying everything in my head.
Her showing interest in me didn't mean she was actually interested in me. Why the hell did I even think any better? Of course, I was just an amusement to her until I had to spend time with her.
She's Holly Amanda Versace, the girl who people know of just by hearing her name, and I'm just some invisible nobody.
I should leave.
The moment I turn around to leave, a series of loud footsteps thud down the stairs and not even a minute later, Holly's blonde head pops into the living room.
"Castle." She stops when she sees me in the living room.
My jaw tightens again but I force myself to not show anything.
She bites her bottom lip, silent for a while.
"I don't think I can even explain what was going up there."
I stuff my fists in the pockets of my hoodies. "I didn't ask for any explanation."
"Yeah, you didn't..." She says, slowly.
I stare at her, unsure how to get out of the house now without seeming bothered. Why the hell shouldn't I be bothered? I come here expecting to see her still sick and sleeping but instead found her getting it on with him.
A furrow appears between her eyebrows. "Wait, we don't have to study anymore. The tests are over."
"I know."
"Then why are you here?"
Ouch.
"I didn't mean that you're not welcome." She says, quickly. "It's just, I thought you'd stop coming once our deal was over."
