LEENA

It's been a week since I've last spoken to Angel and I felt like I was going to go crazy.

I couldn't even enjoy the short break that the school had given to us due to thanksgiving.

I caught glimpses of him in the hallway but other than that, I didn't bump into him. I tried asking his friends to persuade him into talking to me but it led to a dead end.

I'd hoped that he'd change his mind, but he didn't. He was as persistent as ever, and I found myself hating the trait as the days went on.

Not realizing that I had been zoning out, I refocus my attention back onto the two lovebirds in front of me.

Ever since Lilith apologized to Mitch, the two were practically attached by the hip. I was insanely curious about what had happened but I had to bite my tongue every time that I felt like I'd accidentally let my words slip.

It seemed like they were closer than normal today, like really close. Mitch's hand finds hers on the table and I observe, watching as he drags their entwined hands underneath the table.

Cute. I definitely didn't notice that at all.

What did they think I was, blind? "Cut whatever sneaky shit you guys have going on and just tell me that you're together."

Lilith turns from Mitch, her reddened face matching that of a tomato. "Well, uh-" she sputters, having a difficult time getting the words out.

My brow raises in amusement. She finally manages to form a coherent sentence and brings their entwined hands back onto the lunch table so that it's visible.

Not like it wasn't already, but whatever.

"We're together, I guess," she whispers shyly as she looks away, her other hand moving to cover her face in an attempt to hide it from my view.

"You guess?" Mitch scowls, not satisfied with her response. Lilith turns back to face him and mutters something incoherent from where I sit. I chuckle as I watch the exchange.

Just as I'm about to comment on something, Reyna plops down onto the seat beside me, a dazed expression on her face.

"What's up with you?" I ask, noticing how her hair is messier than normal and her lips are swollen. My eyes widen in realization.

Before I can speak, though, she gives me a look. I sigh, returning my attention onto the two in front of us.

"Hey, Rey." Lilith greets Reyna. I was waiting for her to take in the redhead's appearance but the girl was lost in fucking la la land with the guy next to her.

I don't even think Reyna was trying to hide it at this point. It was obvious that she had been making out with someone and yet she still chose to make her presence known. I shake my head at the thought.

"You know, I never thought that the day would come when you two would finally be together." Reyna grins at Lilith and Mitch like a proud mom.

Mitch doesn't hear her, however, and leans in to press a kiss to Lilith's cheek. She blushes at the gesture, pushing him away.
