"You want to forget about Olive Oil?" I ask while chucking.

"Is there a problem or did I do something?" Shawn asks.

"How long have you been best friends with Olivia?" Bella asks Shawn.

"4th grade."

"Yeah, I don't know about that. You can't forget about people like that. Don't you have some guy friends or a hobby that can help?"

"Um, yes," he says.

"Then? Why are you asking strangers for your help?" I ask.

"Guys don't understand this type of thing, especially my friends. So hey, why not ask the girl that stood up for me twice?"

"Well, you've come to the right place," I say with a small smile.

"TOUCHDOWN THE JAGUARS," the announcer says, making us boo. West Jefferson had just made a touchdown, leaving it a tie for both schools.

"Come on Matt! You got this!" I yell out.

"Matt's your boyfriend?" Shawn asks me.

"No, he's like a brother to me. I don't date," I reply.

"Why don't you date?"

"I don't tell anyone this, only Bella and Matt know. Sorry," I say.

"Oh, no big deal," Shawn says.

After two minutes, we score a touchdown and win the game. Matt is once again the star of the team and we go down to greet him. "Come on Shawn," I say inviting him with us. He gets up and joins us, following us to Matt.

"Nice game Espinosa," people would tell Matt.

"Yo Espisaurous Rex!" Bella calls out.

Matt rushes out of the crowd, looking for us. He sees us and smiles. "Hey Bells and Mia. Who's that?" He asks pointing to Shawn.

"I'm Shawn," he says.

"Junior?" Matt asks curiously.

"Senior actually," Shawn says while rocking back and forth in place.

"Cool, do you guys wanna go to the party after the game?" Matt asks.

"Yeah, definitely," Bella answers for me.

"Um, sure why not? Better than being alone," I say. "You coming Mendes?" I ask.

"I don't think it's a good idea. I'm technically the enemy here," he says.

"Right. So, see you soon?" Bella asks.

"Yeah, you guys want my number? It's (###) ###-####," he says walking away.

"Alright, we'll talk to you soon," I say while saving his number.

Here I am, sitting on the couch alone, because Bella got invited to dance. I sigh and play with my iPhone's case.

"May I have a dance?" A familiar voice said.

Taylor.

"Why? Now that Emily isn't here, you want to dance with me. Hah, funny," I snap at him.

"What are you talking about? Emily and I never hooked up. I hung out with her, yes, but because I missed us. Emily is over there, hanging out with her boyfriend. I'm here asking the girl I love to simply dance with me. Just one dance, please," Taylor says.

"One dance," I say grabbing his hand and standing up.

He takes me to the dance floor and leads me to the song that's playing, One Last Time by Ariana Grande.

"Mia, to be completely honest with you, I want another chance to be able to call you mine. You made me a better person, and ever since we've been apart, I've become worse. My mom pointed it out to me yesterday, how you would help me. Now you're gone, and I messed up completely. I love you too much Mia. You're the one made for me," he tells me.

"Yeah, well it didn't seem like it. How do I know that if that night never happened, you could be having sex because you wanted to experience it. That should be okay? No, definitely not. I've been having trust issues lately. I don't have time for a boyfriend, at all. Sorry that you didn't realize on time that you love me and no other girl can replace me. You want me, but I doubt that you can keep up with me. Bye Taylor." I walk away from him and make my way to my car.

"Mia, no, wait," Taylor says running after me. "Look, I'm being honest with you, I know you can tell that I am. I really regret that whole night. Please Mia, don't leave."

"No Caniff, go back inside and hook up with some random girl. Word of advice, use protection," I tell him and walk to my jeep.

I get inside and lock the doors. What to do? I quickly text Bella and Matt that I'm in my car, and they respond with okays.

I lay down in the back seat and try to relax. I think about sleeping, since I didn't get any last night. Someone knocks on the window, probably Taylor.

"Go away Taylor," I shout.

"It's Matt." I look up and see Matt at the door. I unlock it and let him in. "What are you doing in the jeep alone?"

"Waiting for Bella. I want her to stay over at my house," I say.

"You seem too tired for that. And I can take Bells home, no worries."

"Are you sure?" I ask with a yawn.

"Yeah," Matt says while getting out.

I do what he says and drive home, and get inside my sheets.
