The first thing I do once I awake from my nap is grab my phone and scroll through Instagram. I like a few posts and comment on a couple. It's so dead. Before I refresh the app, Klaryssa posted a new photo. She's wearing a pink crop top and a white skater skirt. Her hand is around Hayes' waist and she's got the biggest smile on her face. Hayes smiles and sticks up a peace while his other hand is barley on her shoulder. The caption reads,"Great day with a great person."

My blood boils. It's not like they're doing anything bad, but he's mine!! Back off. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just cranky because of the fight I had with my mom.

After a long shower, I sit outside on the dock and watch the sun reflecting on the lake. My phone vibrates against the wooden dock and I have a short debate on whether I should answer it or not.

"Hi."

"Hey! How's your day been?" He asks.

"I've had better."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I-" I'm about to tell him I don't want to talk about it, but then he'll bug me about telling him. "I had an argument with my mom."

"About what?"

I sigh, closing my eyes. "College and responsibilities."

"I don't want you to be stressed about-" he's cut off by someone calling his name. "Hayes, come on! Oh wow, you look good." She says. What? Who? It sounds like Klaryssa. Hayes chuckles and then I hear no noise. Complete silence. I check my phone, maybe I accidentally hung up. Nope. I'm still on the phone.

"Hello?"

"Sorry babe. It was-" he continues but I focus on the voices in the back. Someone asks,"who's he talking too?"

Another responds, Klaryssa i'm assuming,"Camila."

Another says,"stop rolling your eyes Klar. You got to respect her."

"What? You can't tell me what to do."

Was Klaryssa rolling her eyes at my name? Does it really bother her that Hayes is taking some time out of his day to talk to me? Wow.

"Camila?" Hayes says.

"Huh?"

"Baby, are you okay?"

"Not really, I have to go and I can hear you have to go too. Bye." I hang up with out saying 'I love you'.

I was with Hayes yesterday and everything was fine. Today, I don't even want to talk to him. I just want him here with me. Not there, where Klaryssa can pull anything.

I'm hungry. I'll order some pizza, do my homework, and go to bed early.

I feel much better today. Once my head hit the pillow, I was out. I don't know if I'm mad that Hayes didn't try calling me back, or if I'm mad because be put my on mute so I wouldn't here what he told Klaryssa.

I change into a romper and slip on some sandals. I don't do anything to my hair because it looks wavy and I like it. I open my door and I find Ashton with his hand up in a fist. He's got the biggest smile on his face, and it disappears when he sees my legs instead of the door. He lifts his head up and his lips curl upward.
