1989's POV

I grabbed my phone and quickly checked the notification. Nothing important just an ad.

God why did I hope this was a message from...NO STOP IT!

I sat down on the chair by the desk, putting my phone away.

"So how do you like our neighborhood?" I asked looking at TTPD. Why it was so awkward.

"I'm just getting to know the area and all the neighbors, but so far I really like it here" she replied, getting lost in thought.

There was silence between us until my parents called us downstairs which was a sign that The Poets were already leaving. I walked TTPD to the door saying goodbye to her and her parents. Now in the brighter light I noticed that her cheeks were more pink than before. Or maybe it just seemed to me?

I went back to my room, pulling out a pajamas from the drawer, it was satin with short sleeves in a light blue color. I headed for the bathroom.

After taking a long shower and doing my entire evening routine, I sat on the bed thinking. Should I call Midnights or not?

I picked up my phone and with a shaking hand I dialed a number. I composed in my head exactly what I wanted to say. I felt a bit embarrassed to call like that, but I couldn't back out anymore. After a few rings, voicemail went through. Great.

***
Today, fortunately or not, I didn't have French so I'll have to catch Midnights somewhere in the hallway. TTPD didn't leave my side during breaks which didn't make it easier for me to focus on finding Mid. Jesus why does this school have to be so big?!

"I have a history test today" Speak Now said, making a pained face.

"You studied with Folklore yesterday for this" Debut commented, to which Red just said under her breath something like 'yeah for sure'

"You made me shut up after 5 minutes when I tried to explain the Civil War to you" Folklore gasped and I laughed.

"Well it didn't bother you yesterday" Speak Now giggled biting her lip and Lorie blushed.

"I don't want to know the details" Fearless said and we all burst out laughing.

At the same moment I noticed Lover and Evermore walking towards the English classroom. I decided to approach them to ask about Midnights, who was not answering calls or responding to messages. Throughout my life I have exchanged maybe a few sentences with them so I hope this won't be embarrassing.

"Where are you going?" I heard behind me as soon as I walked away from my friends.

"I need to talk to someone" I replied turning around to see TTPD. "Stay with the girls" I added to discourage her from going with me. Without waiting for an answer, I simply left.

"Hi, can I have a moment please?" I asked in the most polite tone of voice I could.

"Of course!" Lover replied sweetly to which Evermore gave her a grimace. "How can we help you?"

"Is Midnights at school today? I need to talk to her" when I asked they exchanged glances. What the hell.

"Yeah, but she's a bit oversensitive today" Lover laughed nervously, making Evermore roll her eyes. "Just a little bit" I wonder why.

"Well, where can I find her?"

"She has math on the second floor now" Evermore said, checking timetable on her phone.

"Thank you so much" Lover smiled and Eve just shook her head.

For a moment I wondered if I should go. Okay now or never. I walked down the hallway looking for Mid, I found her. She was yelling at some guy. As I got closer I noticed it was Harry, Red's ex.

"Jesus you could have just said you didn't want to go out with me! You don't have to be such a bitch" the boy raised his hands in defense.

"I swear I'll..." Midnights replied and at the same time I walked up to them.

"Hi!" Harry greeted me as if nothing had happened and I just rolled my eyes passing him.

"Shut up" I answered him, pulling Midnights aside as Harry walked away. "I want to talk"

"Oh really" she replied bitterly wanting to leave but I grabbed her wrist. Even though she was taller and probably would have had no trouble escaping my grip- it stopped her.

"What is your problem with TTPD?" I asked with desperation in my voice.

"With that slut? None" she smirked, standing face to face with me now.

"She's new here, you don't know her" I tried to defend TTPD but Midnights seemed totally unfazed.

"You don't know her either, Nine" she was right. But that still didn't justify her attitude.

"I don't understand why you're so mean to her"

"Because she can't even mind her own fucking business" Midnights replied, emphasizing every word. "She's like 'oh my god I've known you for one day you're my best friend'" she started mocking TTPD and I didn't know what to say.

"Are you jealous?" it blurted out and I quickly regretted ever saying it. She grimaced, but the question silenced her for a moment.

"You wish" Midnights rolled her eyes and a smirk appeared on her lips. She was herself again. I missed this. I automatically smiled even though I shouldn't have. What would she do if I went to kiss her now?

It was the bell that tore me from my thoughts. Oh no, I have biology now and I have to go to the other end of the school. Great.

"Will you let me go already?" I heard Midnights voice and just realized I still had my hand on her wrist. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Oh, sorry" I let go of her hand and she smirked at my absent-mindedness.
