(Jeffrey's POV)

I turn my head to the now opened door, someone standing in the doorway. I tug my hands away from the napkin Grammy and I were fighting over.

"Um.. I can come back another ti-" She starts.

"no no." I reassure her, patting a spot on the bed for her to sit. She hesitantly places her biology book on the bed and remains standing.

"So I'm-"

"You're Skylar."

She widens her eyes at me in suspicion.

"We talked earlier and you were at the ski club." I explain, God I probably sound like a creep. She nods slightly, looking around the room and to my grandmother.

"Hello. I'm the Grandfather." Grammy says, I sigh, as she walks out. Skylar sits in the place that Grammy once sat, looking very uncomfortable.

"So umm biology? what'd I miss?" I ask, trying to break the awkward tension.

"A lot." She replies, handing me a stack of papers. I nod and see the top piece of paper explaining the science fair this year. "We're partners." She interrupts.

"w-what" I ask, joking on my own saliva.

"for the science fair. We're lab partners."

oh. well that's awkward. what was I thinking she meant? idiot.

(Katie's POV)

"Well this isn't exactly what I pictured." Shawn mumbles, helping the little boy color in his dragon.

"I'm so sorry. I'll make it up to you." I insist, pulling a spaghetti noodle out of my hair.

"I never said I wasn't enjoying myself, Katie." He smiles, cupping my cheek in his hand. I instantly blush and look down at my feet.

"I really am sorry.." I tell him, he leans closer to me, when the door opens. oh my god. He laughs as he turns back to the girl in the doorway.

"Ok ok Kaite I'm here." Skylar tells me.

"really? you ruined it."

"woah. I thought you needed my help."

"wanted. not needed."

"well you seemed pretty desperate on the phone begging me to watch them." She snaps.

"that was 2 hours ago."

"Well I'm here, go."

I stand up from the child's chair that has probably given me a bruise on my legs. I walk past skylar without a word.

(Skylar's POV)

"Let's go Shawn." Katie mumbles but confidently.

"Sorry about her. She's just stressed." Shawn whispers in my ear. I give him a small smile, as he walks past me.

(Jeffrey's POV)

"how was I even gone that long..." I mutter to myself, looking over all the papers from Skylar. What's continental drift? Is that a dance move?

"Jeffrey." Julia knocks on the door, then walking in, sitting on the bed.

"Julia." I respond with no expression.

"Woah. That's no way to treat your girlfriend, is it?"

"You're still my girlfriend? wow that's a shocker."

"Why would that be a surprise?" She smirks.

"Considering I've been in the hospital for 4 days and this is the first I'm hearing from you." I explain.

"Oh come on Jeffy Jeff. You know I'm busy." She tells me, sitting on my lap.

"Wow. So busy that you can't see your boyfriend that's in the hospital." I retaliate.

"I'm sorry." She says with a puppy dog face. I laugh slightly at the ridiculous gesture. crap. wait. no. I'm mad.

"why can't I stay mad at you. I hate you." I say.

"but you love me." She finishes, taking my hand in hers.

"True." I admit, pressing my lips to hers.

"PG!" Grammy screams, walking into the room.
