Long chapter because why not?
Enjoy!!! :3

Jack's POV

I walked in to the empty house and dropped my bag on the floor. I threw my keys in a bowl by the door and walked in to the kitchen to find something to eat. Man am I hungry.
I rummaged through the fridge, cheese, tomatoes, carrots, milk, yogurt...aha! Ham! I pulled out the packet and quickly darted towards the bread cabinet, pulling out the bag and getting two slices of bread to make my snack.
I made the sandwich quickly and put the plate in the dishwasher when I was done.
I walked up the stairs to my room and fell on the bed, I'm so tired. I looked up and received the full rath of the sun shining right in my eyes. I got up from my bed and went over to my window, hoping to close the curtains to shield my eyes from the hot sun. Just as I reach for the blue cloth I notice movement out the corner of my eye. I looked over and there she was, the girl from maths class. She's my neighbor?!

And you just noticed dipshit?

Shut up brain! Ugh, why did I never notice! Wait...wait wait wait...
...
....
.....
I did notice the neighbor next door, just the last time I did was about five years ago. The little girl with pig tails that I used to play with. The girl who I would share my lunch with at school.
The girl with pig tails grew up.

Olivia's POV

I looked straight at him, our eyes met and I saw confusion cross his face, followed by the realization of something.
I flushed red and he quickly drew his curtains. What was that all about?
I decided to ignore it and watch a movie.
I looked through the pile of movies, I finally settled on 'The Notebook' because why not? I quickly ran downstairs to the kitchen and threw a packet of unpopped popcorn in the microwave and waited patiently as the dish spun around followed by ocasional popping.
I heard the ding of the microwave and jumped down from the island to retrieve the freshly popped snack. I poured it in a bowl and grabbed a bottle of soda and took it upstairs and back to my room. I made myself comfortable on my bed with my back supported by various pillows against the wall and my snacks stuffed in the crook of my arms. I switched the movie on and immediately relaxed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes to the glow coming from the tv screen. It was back to the options of the movie at the main screen.
I looked at my phone.

Oops, I really should check my email.
I unlocked my phone and opened my texts, the first one was from James.

Jamey boy: Hey you alright? Sorry about today...I've been a bit of an arse.

You: Yeah I'm fine, just woke up lol.

I replied quickly and moved on to the next four, all from Riley.

Rile's ❤️: Girl call me.
Rile's ❤️: Been 10 mins. Call. Now.
Rile's ❤️: You're pissing me off now.
Rile's ❤️: Ugh. I'm going to murder you.

I chuckled at her messages.

You: Jesus are you on your period or something? I've been asleep. What's so important?

My phone quickly buzzed.

Rile's ❤️: Took your damn time. Listen, James lied.

You: Huh? About?

Rile's ❤️: Samantha. I asked her. They never texted. He's lying to us.

You: What? But why would he do that?

Suddenly another text popped up, just not from Riley.

Jamey boy: Lol, lazy :p. Anyway, I need your help.

You: With?

Jamey boy: Riley.
