oh no // c.h.

ch.18

"Do you guys like Luke?"

Thalia stopped flipping through her phone and looked up at me, shrugging, "He's fine I guess. I haven't really you know, talked to him that much or anything."

"Why are you asking?" Michael chimed in.

"I don't know, I haven't been hanging out with Calum lately, and I don't know if it's because of soccer, or Nia, or because I'm friends with Luke but, it's bothering me. Just wanted to see if you guys also didn't like him or something."

"No, I think he's cool." Michael said.

"Yeah, I don't know why Calum has such a problem with him."

Michael nudged Thalia with an elbow to her arm, she turned to face him and he gave her some sort of look. It seemed like she understood because she nodded and murmured an 'oh yeah.'

"What?"

"You, my friend, are probably the luckiest girl in the world." Thalia sat upright on her bed, facing me.

"Explain?" I asked.

"Dude you have two insanely attractive friends that both want/like you."

"I mean, if I had two hot friends and they both digged me I would be so so happy." Michael sighed.

"It's harder when number one; the dislike each other. Number two; one of them is my best friend. And number three; um, may I remind you, Calum has a girlfriend?"

"Minor details." Thalia waved off.

"Umm no! It's kind of a set back."

"So you do want to be with him?" Michael pressed.

"What? When did I say that?"

"Literally, just now." He laughed, leaning his forearms on his thighs.

"You're twisting my words Clifford."

"Oh god damnit Jules just admit it!" Thalia whined.

"Okay-" I started, putting my hands up in surrender.

"Wait it's actually happening!" The periwinkle haired boy squealed like a little girl.

"I might've liked Cal before-"

"I fucking knew it!"

"Thalia shut up and let me finish," The dark haired girl immediately stopped freaking out and gestured for me to continue, "But that was before he got with Nia. Which, I guess was my fault for condoning it, when maybe I didn't really want to. But there's nothing I can do about it now! My feelings for Cal are completely gone and nothing will happen. It's back to how things were before and that's how I want it."

"Jules you fucking idiot." Michael leaned his head back in frustration.

"What? What's so wrong with my explanation?"

"Cal freakin hates Nia."

"You're kidding right? He's in a relationship with her. He would've broken it off already if he disliked her so much." I argued.

"Think about it Jules," Thalia came to the end of the bed to meet me on the ground, "Do you really think Calum would be able to break it off without feeling awful? You know who he is, he's loyal, he doesn't like disappointing people. Do you remember his last relationship at all? He's going to wait for her to break up with him if anything."
