the girls return to school after lunch and head to their third period classes. kaia has computer coding with matt. this is the class she always used to look forward to the most, now it's her least favourite.

she just sits in the far back and pays attention to nothing other than her computer and her phone to text people about how much she hates being in a class with matt.

matt loves being around her, but the awkwardness is nearly painful. he does hate confrontation, so he chooses to avoid her as much as he can.

their current situation is extremely confusing to both of them. they still care about and love eachother, but hate being around eachother and do everything to avoid the other person.

from where kaia sits in class, she can occasionally see a peek of what matt is doing on his phone; when she's looking, that is.

matt tries to erase the knowledge that she is behind him everyday, he has to tune it out or he'll go crazy.

the first few computer coding classes after the fight were easy because neither of them even showed up, they didn't have to worry about it. but after a point, they both realized that they still needed the credit and started going again. they just made sure to avoid eachother.

the class today wasn't too bad, but kaia swore she saw matt looking through her instagram, but she couldn't be sure.

the bell rings after class and james is waiting outside her class for her. matt walks out first and completely ignores him. kaia walks out and holds his hand as they walk through the hallway.

"you wanna come over to my house today?" james asks her.

"sure! chris is going to chloe's anyway so i'm not driving her." kaia responds.

"how are they getting to chloe's place if you drove her?" he asks.

"um, matt will probably just drop them off on the way." she clears her throat.

he looks at her and tries to understand her facial expressions.

"still have a hard time talking about him?" james asks.

"i guess so. it's more just like, i don't talk to him so i feel weird talking about him, i guess." kaia responds.

"makes sense, i get that." james agrees.

he walks her to her last class of the day and they text eachother the whole period.

after school when the bell rings, kaia meets james at his car, and they head to his place. chloe meets the triplets at their van and matt drops the two off at her place before returning home.

james doesn't understand why it's so awkward for her, so he hasn't stopped parking right next to the triplets.

kaia and james just sit around watching tv. they ordered food and are kinda just hanging out with james' sister ally.

every couple hours, chloe will check in with kaia and tell her how good things are going with chris. they were also having lots of fun.
