 I'd never seen a scene in a movie appear before my eyes until he looked into hers as if he wanted to call her "mine."

I hadn't seen her smile like that in months or was it a few weeks? It still felt like yesterday I watched her ran back stage... heartbroken... over me.

I hadn't seen her eyes sparkle the way hers did when she looked at him. Were those the way her eyes sparkled for me? Or was I too blind to it?

'Simon, you asked for this. You planned to diss her at her soundcheck for a reason. Remember the guys told you could pull in better girls. This was fou- almost five months ago. The guys said if you didn't, Harel would hate you. They would hate you.' I thought to myself.

My confidence was flailing a little bit.

I tried to keep repeating that thought in my head, yet they were fought off by myself.

'Who needs her?'

I did.

'Listen to yourself!'

But what if I still made a mistake?

'Who the heck cares. It's been months.'

I guess.

'See you're alright again.'

I began to brush off the scene that was happening before me.

But as I began to, I looked up.

He was making her laug- the laugh that I used to get out of her.

'Damn Simon, you sound like a fuckboy.'

"Maybe all those subtweets from the girls were right." I mentally facepalmed myself.

"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." I said a loud.

None of the girls or guys were around to hear me. But I knew I had to brush off these feelings before they could hear me.

From the distance, the girls got excited. This is normal for them. I bet they wrote books on us or something.

"OH MY GOSH LOOK GUYS." Kiera yelled across the airport.

I turned to face the girls and saw them all huddled up simultaneously saying "aw," "goals!," "look how cute," or "ship!" I rolled my eyes at the last word, "ship."

The word that ruined my rep with the boys.

Ever since "Siezel" came to be. The guys would pull all these jokes on me.

"LOL Sizzling right Simon?"

"I bet Simon 'sizzed' up when he saw her at the beach."

"Simon, careful! The sisters might call you out again for not being 'on board.'"

'There you go sounding stupid Simon.'

Liezelle pulled the bangs away from her face and looked back to stick her tongue out.

It was cute.

"OOOOOOOOO." April yelled back.

I looked back at Ken, and he grabbed her stuff out of her hands.

He seemed to be offering to take her stuff.

It felt like another bullet to the heart.

"Ouch." I rubbed my chest.

I looked back at the girls again, to be let down one more time.

"Did anyone hear Liezelle sing?" Erika whispered.
