   WE HAD to look our best as we showed up to the film screening for a small short film that I really wanted to see. It was about 2 best friends growing up and going away for college and forgetting each other—until she found her way back to him and decided that they were for each other. I told my mother about this film but she didn't show much interest in taking me, however, on her part I understood because being pregnant made her want to stay home for most of the time.

   I picked out a small white flowy dress for my outfit. With my doc martens, Raine was over, as she looked threw my closet trying to find something to wear. I didn't mind her coming over just to get something of mine—cause most of the time she also left half of her stuff here.

   It was a bit cold out—Raine suggested not to bring a sweater because it would be hot in the theater, which of course may or may not be true.

    "Aren't you freezing!" Bailey blurted out. "It's literally january in New York!".

    "I have sleeves it's fine" I laugh. It was not fine at all. I was definitely cold but decided not to say anything. Raine found her way towards Matt as he offered her his sweater and the two cuddled up together in their seat. Bailey sat with Jamie as Jamie had his camera in one hand—making sure he was documenting all.

   But I sat in the corner. I wanted to be alone because it felt way more better—especially focusing more on the film rather than having someone talk to me.

   Jack stood in front of me, then sat down. My hands were a bit shaky but all he did was smile and turn his face towards the screen. It was too quiet, I know I hate when people talk to me when I watch something, but the rest were talking. "Are you mad at me?".

    He then turned his head, "no, why would I be mad at you?".

    "Because I told you to get out of the room..." I started, "then when we were texting you seemed really dry".

    "Maybe I was in a bad mood at the time" he bluntly said. Which took me back, it was rude. He said he wasn't mad but he seemed mad alright.

    "It's fine if you're mad" I repeat again. "You can be mad at me because what I did was really stup—".

    "—Blair, you and Louis make a nice couple" he interrupted me, I heard jealousy in his voice. "He likes you and you like him ... so, you guys make a nice couple and stop saying I'm mad because I'm not, ok".

    Are you kidding me.

    "No! I mean.. Yeah, well no, Louis likes me I can see that" I laugh nervously. "But you have it all wrong.. you see I don't—".

    He interrupts again. "Blair, just watch the movie. You wanted to come. I don't need to hear it. Aren't we just friends?".

    "Yeah... we are".

     "Okay" he mumbled. "I'm going to leave you alone, I'll be with Bailey and Jamie". Jack stood up from his seat and walked away. He didn't even let me explain properly and now he thinks I like Louis.

     Did I just have to keep dreaming and hope he would see me or let it go....
