chris wakes up to the credits of some random movie playing, the music blasting.

he moves slightly, freezing as he realizes the girl in his arms. he has his arm around zola, who's head is laying on his chest.

reaching for the remote with his free hand, he shuts off the movie. unfortunately though, hayden is already stirring.

"what time is it?" she mumbles, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand

chris lifts his head slightly, letting it fall back down, "4 am"

"oh," she blinks, "i didn't really mean to fall asleep here. i can go." she starts to get up, chris immediately cutting her off

"no- or, no it's fine. schools in a few hours anyways." he relaxes as he feels her lay back down

"oh, ok."

"you were in my dream," he fixes the blanket around them

the girl already is half asleep, "was my ass fat?"

"um, no?"

"then it wasn't me." she hums, her words blurring together.

hayden wakes up later, deciding to just get up to get ready for school. she slinks out of chris's arms, seeing him groan quietly, but continue to sleep.

she decides to just go through her front door, knowing her parents are still asleep.

she takes her time getting ready, picking out an outfit and doing her makeup.

as she slides on a coat of mascara, her face a single inch away from the mirror, a voice comes from her doorway.

"so how was your sleepover?"

hayden jumps, getting mascara all over her under eye, "fuck- nick!"

he giggles, seeing what he's done, "oops"

"wait-" his words finally register, "how did you know i was with chris?"

nick leans against her door, "um, our rooms are right next to each other? i could you guys giggling like you were five."

zola cringes, not liking how he put it.

"soooo," he drags out the o, peeking behind him before shutting the door, "its not pretend anymore?"

she grabs a qtip to fix her mascara, "um no? it's chris nick- we just like kinda tolerate each other now. i think."

"right." he nods, "i won't tell matt."

"what does it matter if matt knows,"

nick sucks in air quickly, forgetting that she doesn't actually realize his brother is in love with her, "oh, he was just saying he wanted to see you last night so maybe he'd be like jealous."
