gorgeous - c.s

chapter 39🎀

NO ONES POV

the group was finished at denny's and the paid, the waiter kept on looking at eliza, but nothing happened.

"what are we doing today" cami asks and the teens walk into a circle in the middle of the sidewalk, the sidewalk was big enough to fit all of them in a line with some space around them. so if any of them were walking slow, people could walk around them.

"anyone got any ideas?" matt asks and nobody answers, "how about we just walk around today, everyone got a bathing suit on underneath incase we decide to go swimming?" matt asks and everyone shakes their heads, except for eliza and matt. "you're all stupid, we are literally in hawaii" eliza deadpans and everyone rolls their eyes, "go get changed!" she shoos and they stay there.

"are we going with, eliza?" matt asks looking down at the brunette girl, "i wanna go into the cvs, you can go if you want though" she replies and matt nods, "i'll stay with you"

chris felt jealousy bubble up inside of him, he knew matt wouldn't do anything with her ,out of pure loyalty to his brother, but he was jealous because matt got to spend time alone with eliza. he hasn't been alone with her in a long time, and that was a feeling he missed.

cami,matt,madi nick and chris walk off as matt and eliza go to the cvs across the road.

ELIZA'S POV

"how long do we have left here?" i ask matt who is walking alongside me, "like two weeks" he replies and i shake my head in disbelief, "this trip as gone by so fast, has it not?" i reply and he nods not really focusing on what i'm saying but on making sure we get across the road alive.

we cross the road and walk into the cvs, "i'm gonna get some candy, want anything?" he asks and i think for a moment, "laffy taffy would be good, thanks" i reply as he starts to walk off, "matt?" i call out and he turns around, "hm?"

"i'm going to get a drink, do you want anything?" i ask and he also thinks for a moment, "how about a dr pepper, thanks" he replies and i smile walking into the aisle.

i open the freezer and get the drinks out, i grabbed an iced coffee for myself and a dr pepper for matt. i was going to grab a pepsi, for chris, but then i remembered that we weren't talking right now.

i turn around and i bumped into someone and dropped the drinks, "oh shit, sorry" he says bending down and i recognised the voice almost immediately.

jack johnson.

he gets back up and looks at me, his eyes widen "eliza, hey" he says smiling and i smile back, awkwardly, "hey jack, how have you been?" i ask and he passes me the drinks back, "i've been good, how are you?" he replies completely ignoring the awkward tension that's floating around in the air, "i've been good, too. what are you doing here?" i ask

"oh, i've come with my family for two weeks. what are you doing here?" he asks, "my friends took me here for my birthday?" i tell him and he nods, "you still friends with the triplets and madi?" he asks, gosh why was this conversation still going on?

"yeah, i'm here with them actually" i reply, "oh, and cami" i add on, "well, i've got somewhere to be. can i get your number so we can catch up?" he asks me and i cringe, did he forget he cheated on me

too my silence he gave me a questioning look, "cause you like kind of disappeared after sophomore year, well, your sophomore year. i was a junior"

i scoff, "it's not like we were gonna keep on talking anyways"

jack smiles and that pisses me off, what is good about that? "can i?" he pleads and i see matt out the corner of my eye, he was about to walk to me and he stares at me, "oh look, there's matt. bye jack" i say walking off but jack taps me and i turn around, "look i was a dick in highschool, but i've grown. honest, so can we please hang out like once and if you don't want to see me ever again after that, then fine. but i just want to make it up to you, it doesn't have to be a date" he says and i consider it, it would make chris mad after all, and that what i wanted right now, even though i likes him
