"Elle, I know this is so confusing." He places his hand on my thigh.

"Yeah I know," I sigh.

"But we just can't tell anybody about this. When I showed you my mom yesterday and flirted with you in the corridor, I was only playing I didn't want it to end like this." He sighs. I glare at him and move his hands off of my thigh. That hurt me. He was taking advantage of me for fun!

"So it was just a prank?" I stand up and look down on him.

"Well you don't think I would've properly flirted with you?" He emphasised the you. I felt hot tears begin to take over my sight and I shake my head, storming out of the suite, slamming the door behind me.

"No Elle wait!" Matt shouts behind me as I run down the hallway.

I eventually reach my room and slam the door. Lucas and my mom had already gone to breakfast so I was alone.

I let go and burst out crying. My eyes stung, my body stung and my heart stung.

----

I make my way down to the breakfast hall wearing my floral blue jumpsuit and a light washed denim jacket with some white converse. I was hanging so I wore a pair of sunglasses to cover my eyes.

"Hi Molly," I smile at her and sit next to her. The guilt rose in my stomach but I held it down.

"Oh hey!" She giggles and continues eating her yogurt.

"You alright?" I smile at her and fiddle with my charm bracelet.

"Yeah, you?" She smiles at me. Her hair was tied back into a high ponytail.

"Hey girls," Matt walks over and sits on the opposite side to me.

"Oh hey babe!" Molly smiles and kisses him. He doesn't shut his eyes.

"I'm going to get some breakfast..." I get up and walk to the breakfast table.

"Uh me too," Matt smiles at Molly and walks up behind me.

"Elle," He stops me. Molly couldn't see us because we were behind a pillar so Matt decides to caress my cheek.

"Matt."

"I'm sorry." He looks down. "I didn't mean to upset you I just meant the flirting as a joke! Please don't let this affect us!" He whisper shouts.

"Matt- there is no us! Can't you see? we aren't dating and we never will? You're dating a beautiful girl a-and she loves you." I stutter on my words. I didn't mean any of them I just didn't want to mess up his relationship. I felt the tears rise in my eyes again, threatening to come rolling down my pale cheeks.

He just stares at me. "Elle you're a gorgeous girl. Any man would be lucky to have you."

"See that-that's where you're wrong," A tear drops down onto my cheek.

"Please don't cry Elle, I'm sorry!" He frowns and puts his plate down on the side forcefully and storms out of the hall. I wipe my eyes and peek around the pillar. Molly was running after him repeating his name.
