Enchanted

[Jill x OC] 14 February

"You're going to ask Jill out on a date for Valentine's, right?" Sarah nudged Matt.

"I...I..." Matt stuttered.

"Do you want me to ask Jill for you?" Sarah offered.

"No! Thanks for the offer but I can do it myself." Matt shook his head vehemently.

"Relax, I was just joking with you." Sarah chuckled.

"Did Jill say anything about having a date?" Matt wondered.

"Not that I heard of but I did hear something else..." Sarah replied.

"Hear what?" Matt's eyes widened.

"That Xavier likes Jill." Sarah leaned in and whispered.

"Xavier? As in Xavier Conrad?" Matt repeated.

"Yep, that Xavier." Sarah nodded.

"Matt! Sarah!" A voice called out.

"Jill!" Sarah waved excitedly to Jill, who was approaching with someone beside her. 

"Sarah! Matt!" Jill ran towards her friends. 

"And who..." Sarah looked at the figure next to Jill, asking for an answer she already had.

"Right, my bad. Xavier, this is Sarah and Matthew. Guys, meet Xavier, my senior from the guitar club." Jill introduced. 

"Pleasure to meet you both. Jillian has told me a lot about you two." Xavier extended a handshake. 

"It's our pleasure to meet the famous Xavier Conrad, right Matt?" Sarah kicked Matt's leg under the table. 

"Oh, sorry...Glad to meet you too, Xavier..." Matt mustered a smile. 

"I'll see you next Wednesday then, Jillian?" Xavier turned to Jill. 

"Gotcha. Thanks for walking me home, Xavier." Jill gave Xavier a friendly hug. 

"Since when did you get this close to the golden boy, Jill?" Sarah pulled Jill down onto the bench. 

"You're overthinking. He's just being nice." Jill shrugged.

"Just being nice? He asked you out on Valentine's Day!" Sarah yelled. 

"It's not a date. The guitar club is having a party for all the singles and Xavier offered to pick me up." Jill explained.

"Oh. But he likes you, doesn't he?" Sarah prodded?

"Please, Sarah...of course not!" Jill eyed her best friend.

"Then why would he walk you all the way home and offer to drive you to the party?" Sarah rebutted.

"He's just being nice. Besides, I don't think I'm his type." Jill asserted. 

"Why not? If I wasn't attached, I'd definitely date you. Right, Matt?" Sarah hit Matt's shoulder. 

"Uh right...You would...I guess?" Matt was listening silently to the girls' conversation. 

"You said you had something to ask me?" Jill leaned in front of Sarah to look at Matt. 

"Uh, I...I was just wondering if you needed me to pick you up from dinner." Matt made an excuse. 

"That's it?" Sarah gave Matt a side eye. 

"That's...it. Jill, I bought your favourite ice-cream. It's upstairs." Matt changed the topic quickly. 

"What about mine?" Sarah winked.

"I bought enough for 3 of us to share." Matt answered without looking at Sarah. His eyes were only on Jill.

"But I hate raspberry ripple!" Sarah growled. 

"Then don't eat it." Matthew shrugged. 

"Jill! Why does this guy only buy the flavours that you like?" Sarah complained to her other housemate. 

"Maybe because you're a worse housemate than I am?" Jill joined in the teasing. 

"I hate you two!" Sarah hissed.
