"Why are we out here?" Koen asked
"I don't want to sit in there, why is that a bad thing? We don't have to sit with them every day" I grumbled, inhaling the smoke as we sat outside

I didn't want to see Inara
I couldn't face the embarrassment
I kissed her
Again
I didn't know what was wrong with me.

"No but you're acting weird, why don't you want to see her? You turned up alone this morning, you haven't talked about her all day" Koen explained
"My world doesn't revolve around her Koen, she isn't my actual girlfriend" I denied

"No, but I know you like her. So what happened? What's gone wrong?" He pushed
"Nothing" I dismissed
"Kane" he said simply. He always knew when I wasn't saying something
It was an annoying trait he possessed

"I... we... kissed" I said
"What?" He smiled
"Don't look at me like that" I said
"But you kiss a lot. What was special about this kiss?" He asked happily
"Nothing it... we weren't around anyone" I caved

"So you kissed her because you wanted to" he said
"No" I denied
I didn't like her. Not at all
I didn't like her. Or her smile. I hated her hair and how bright her eyes were
I hate how nice she is
I hate the way she looks at me
Like I'm... a good person.

"You like her" he laughed
"Koen. Drop it. I don't like her. Alright?" I snapped

"She's nothing to me and I'm nothing to her, that's the whole point. It's fake for a reason" I snapped, walking away from him
I wasn't going to deal with this shit.

I just needed to get away from her for a while.
From her fucking eyes and those... those hips.

"Come back man... come on" Koen tried
But I ignored him, getting in my car.

"Ssh" I hushed Dea, listening to them speak
"Wha-" I held up my hand to her, tuning in
"She's nothing to me and I'm nothing to her, that's the whole point. It's fake for a reason" Kane said to Koen, before walking passed us.

Fake? They.. are faking?
"What?" Dea asked confused
"You might have a shot with Kane after all Dea. They don't seem as solid as they're making out to be" I mused, watching Kane drive out of school.

• Inara •

Kane wasn't in school after lunch
He wasn't there at the end of the day
He was suddenly like a ghost again
A stranger to me as I reverted back to life before Kane
Going home with Ivy, hanging out with her with the constant thought of him in the back of my mind
