BENITO's POV

I walked up to my room as soon as I got to the house. I laid in my bed, staring up at the ceiling. I had a party to go to today but I wasn't going to go, even if I wanted to. I was still thinking about the fact that Love and I almost kissed last night.

I couldn't get her or that almost kiss out of my head. She lives in my head all the fucking time now and it's frustrating. Why can't I just go back to hating her?

I noticed every little thing about her now, like how she has a single, small freckle on her upper lip or how her eyes twinkle when she laughs. I'm fucked up and all thanks to her.

Normally I would go to the party to get her out of my head but not this time. If I were to go, I already know what I would be doing and I didn't want that, not when I was trying to figure out my feelings still.

I browsed through the various options on Netflix when the front door opened. Love and Natalia walked in, I made eye contact with Love before we both looked away.

"Where were you, Natalia?"

It was well past four now, school ended an hour ago and she's barely coming home.

"We went to check out a few things at Love's house. I forgot to tell you."

"Okay well next time, make sure you don't forget."

"Yeah whatever, oh I forgot to tell you, I have to go to a classmates house for some project again."

I furrowed my eyebrows, I was confused.

"Natalia, it's Friday."

"Yeah I know but we thought we would get a head start on it."

I was suspicious about this. She's been going out very often to work on "projects" but I didn't question it. Maybe she really was just working on projects.

"Okay then. Are you taking her?"

I pointed to Love, before Natalia could say anything, Love began to talk. "No, I'm staying here."

Of course she was. This was going to make everything so much more awkward for us.
