|Hailey's POV|
Jake and I were talking to each other at lunch, casually eating our lunch with the scene that had happened 5 days ago fresh in our minds. But we were staying quiet about it, only talking about the random things that came to our minds.
"So... isn't the music competition soon? I mean... are you guys gonna do it?" Jake asked, awkwardly taking a bite of his burger. I shrugged, sipping some strawberry milk.
"We might not... I guess I could ask them." I rose before Jake could protest, and walked towards the Music Club's table.
"Hi, Hailey." Zander said, his voice muffled with the food in his mouth. I nervously pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and began to speak.
"So... are we gonna compete? Y'know, in the music competition." The neutral looks on their faces quickly turned to realization and remembrance.
"Oh... right." Milly inhaled sharply through her teeth. "You know what? We should do it! Screw the other competitors! We can do this!" I nodded eagerly, also noticing the fact that she hadn't said, "Screw Jake!", or anything of the such. The rest of the club nodded in return, then they all hesitated.
"Yeah... yeah we can do this!" We whooped, earning looks from the rest of the grade, but we didn't care. I glanced towards Jake, who was giving us a thumbs up, and suddenly he winked at me. I felt color rise to my cheeks and I quickly looked away. Milly unfortunately noticed this, though, and she smiled mischievously.
"Ooooooo, I wonder who's over there? Hm... Jake, huh? No wonder you're blushing so hard!" She giggled. I breathed a sigh of relief in my mind, relieved that Milly was okay with Jake now. But on the outside, I turned even more red, sighing in exasperation and embarrassment. She giggled again, then suddenly stopped. She stood up and hugged me, squeezing me tight as I hugged her back. I was very surprised, not expecting this.
"I'm sorry, Hailey. I should've listened to you... maybe Jake isn't that bad after all. Maybe I should've given him a chance." I hugged her tighter, grateful that Milly accepted Jake.
"It's okay, Milly." I whispered.
