"So it's been two weeks since we started dating, and now we're officially girlfriends," Hanni said while holding my hand and sipping her coffee with the other.
"I already know this. Why are you telling me?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you. I'm telling Danielle since she doesn't know," she said, glaring at Hanni.
"I already knew, and besides, I'm happy for you two," she said, smiling at me, even though it looked forced.
"Thanks," Hanni said, smirking. "But can I ask you one question?"
"What?" Danielle said, sighing.
"How come you still hang around us knowing you're the third wheel? Aren't you dating Soobin?" I looked at Danielle too.
"Like I said, Haerin and I worked things out, so I'm hanging around you guys because she's my friend," Hanni just glared. "And besides, I've been getting tired of Soobin and his attitude and the rest of his hateful friends, so I broke up with him," she said, smiling while resting her chin on her hands and staring at me.
I looked into Danielle's eyes and had a feeling she was telling the truth, which isn't a good thing for me now.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt an arm snaking around my waist, causing me to flinch a little and my heart to race. "Well, good for you," Hanni said, holding me.
I watched as the two stared at each other. Why do I get the feeling they don't like each other?

"Bye!" Hanni said cheerfully as she exited my car. I was about to drive off, but she stopped me and ran to the driver's side window.
"What?" I asked.
She smiled and caught me off guard by planting a kiss on my lips. "I'll call you," she said, biting her lip and smiling.
"Okay," I said as I watched her run into her house.
I drove off, holding my lips once again. The kiss feels different. It always does when she kisses me. I keep expecting to feel something, but I don't. Her kisses do feel warm, soft, and gentle, but they don't make me feel anything. I still feel empty. But I've been doing good with my emotions now, which is great, but I can't shake the feeling that something's missing. Yeah, I like Hanni, but there's something more. I want to feel completely happy... something I've been wanting.
When I got home, I went straight to my room, nearly tripping over the papers that were still on my floor. I guess I better pick them up now.
I grabbed my trash can and began picking up the pieces one by one. Once I was done picking up the last piece, I sat on my bed looking at it. It was a drawing of Danielle. I studied all the details of her; I nearly forgot how pretty she is. Wait, did I just call her pretty? Oh well. I might as well admit it; she is pretty.
Instead of throwing the drawing away, I decided to put it in my sketchbook right by the other picture of her.
Once I was done, I walked to my desk, sat down, and began drawing. A few hours passed, and I was nearly done with the picture of a field.
"Only one more thing left to add." I put down the pencil I was using to grab another one I use for the small details, but I noticed I had run out. I guess I need to stock up on more pencils and supplies.
I got up from my desk and went downstairs to my parents. "Can I run to the store to buy more art supplies?" I asked them.
They looked at each other, then checked the time, which was 8:30 p.m. "I guess, but don't take long," Dad said as he dug in his pocket to get his wallet out. He pulled out fifty dollars and handed it to me. I took it and walked out the door.
