"hey lita," nat smiled, giving me a slight side bump.

"hi," i muttered.

"you're still upset, huh?"

"i mean - no and yes, how would you feel if someone you really like, just messed with another girl?"

"i would be pissed, but lita, you guys weren't even dating,"

i simply nodded and approached my locker.

"but did you do the history homework?"

"of course i have it," i slightly chuckled.

"can i copy during study hall?" nat asked, giving me her puppy eyes.

"suree,"

"don't look," nat warned

"you do know that when you tell a person "don't look." it makes them anxious and they want to look,"

"right, sorry," nat laughed.

of course being the person i am, i looked to see what nat saw.

probably stupid of me, but i was curious.

and there he was, with another girl. he looked genuinely happy. wonder if he looked that way around me.

"it's time for class." nat reminded, i nodded and she grabbed my hand pulling me towards our first period classroom.

i, of course dreaded this period. being that i had to be with hayes - and we were partners for an upcoming project.

i sat in the back with nat, and just waited, for what? i honestly don't know.

"you're late, grier." mr.johnson scolded the oh so famous hayes grier. hayes shrugged muttering a couple things under his breath.

just to my luck, the only seat was in front of me. today, just wasn't my day.

"hey, uhm, do you have a pen?" hayes questioned as he looked at me. his bright blue eyes staring straight into my soul.

that's something hayes always did, he gave you his full attention whenever you spoke to him or he spoke to you.

"besides the one i'm chewing on now, nope. but i have a pencil, you okay with that?"

hayes nodded and smiled, i ignored the smile and grabbed a pencil from my bookbag giving it to hayes, who replied with "thank you." i nodded and put my focus onto the teacher.

i'd notice hayes turn back to look at me, which gave me an uncomfortable vibe causing me to fidget in my seat and self consciously pull my shirt sleeves.

"lita! wait up," a voice shouted down the hallway, as i walked with nat and brendan.

just great, more attention on me. of course it had to be hayes who shouted for my attention.

"you guys just go wait for me outside, yeah?"

both brendan and nat looked at me before nodding and leaving.

"hey, uhm, i just wanted talk," hayes spoke a little out of breath.

"okay, about what?"

hayes placed his hand on my lower back, softly pushing me ahead.

"us,"

"i don't think there is an us, nor will there ever be an us," i responded

"look, whatever you saw that night, wasn't what it seemed," hayes sighed

"that's what they all say," i answered, rolling my eyes "whatever happened, happened and if you're happy with her. then i'm happy for you. other than that we don't talk to each other, got it?"

"stop being stubborn,"

"well, i do what i want. you were the one who wanted to talk to me," i shrugged "gotta go,"
- ✨ -
nat, brendan and i, sat on my bed just playing on our phones. the usual, i don't know what those two were doing. most likely texting each other, but i on the other hand had been creeping on twitter like i always do.

a tweet that had been tweeted almost a minute ago, caught my eye quickly.

@HayesGrier: i love you.

sigh.
