Hairdye {M.C fanfic}

Chapter 11

"We didn't get to go get pizza..." Michael says out of nowhere.

"Maybe tomorrow, I mean we were kind of busy getting chased by Gabe and im tireeeeeedddd."

Today has been such a long day. Michael and I got in trouble and were supposed to go to detention, then I got casted as Gabe's love interest and proceeded to be chased by his 'henchmen', then Luke and Calum saved me, after that the whole showdown at lunch with Michael happened, and finally I was attacked by Gabe AGAIN and Michael saved me. And not to mention building a fort, watching some netflix, getting pranked by Michael and having one of the most vulnerable talks i've ever had in just one day.

"Hailey, im willing to give Calum and Luke a chance, Im sorry I overreacted, to be completely honest, I didn't want to share you, I was jealous."

"Its okay Michael, but why would you be jealous?"

"Hailey I like...HAVING YOU AS MY BEST FRIEND" He smiled nervously, it seems he's hiding something, I just can't put my finger on it. Oh well.

Michael's pov

Hailey I like...HAVING YOU AS MY BEST FRIEND.

That was a close one, lately my mind has been going crazy. I don't know what's happening, is this what having friends feels like? Despite the fact that my mind might seem confused and wild but I know that on the outside I've been cool. I mean I've been smooth right?

"I like having you as a best friend too, but I think it wont hurt to make other friends, especially ones who completely saved me from that ape brain Gabe."

I knew she was right so I just nodded. I just hated the thought of having to share her. She was my best friend after all. I wanted to be the one to save her. To make her laugh. I wanted her to look at me the way she looked at her books when she read in the mornings right before class.

I think I like her. A lot. Sadly, I know she'll never like me back.

Hailey's pov

Michael left shortly after our conversation last night. Im happy that he agreed to try and make amends with Calum and Luke. We also decided that we would get pizza today and maybe hang around the town.

The problem was, what was I going to wear? I mean its most definitely not a big deal right. We're just friends grabbing pizza. Since when do you care this much about boys Hailey??? Compose yourself.

I was still laying in bed amd had no idea what time it was. I picked up my phome from the night table to see multible texts from Michael.

"Good Morning :)"

"Remember I'll pick you up at 3"

After momentarily staring at the texts and smiling I moved my gaze to the top of the screen to check the time.

2:58pm

This could NOT be happening. I SLEPT UNTIL 2:58 IN THE AFTERNOON OMG WHAT AM I GOING TO DO. Oh mighty universe I pray to you that Michael is not a punctual person.

Im ripped away from my thoughts when I hear my phone chime.

"Im here"

I run down the stairs immediately feeling self conscious, my hair is a big curly mess and im wearing a my little pony shirt with some leggings. Cute am I right? Lately I've been asking myself the same question when it comes to Michael 'Why do I care'. The problem is that there's a billion different answers. He's so cute. Nice, brilliant, funny, and that dorky smile of his... Hailey, its time to face the facts. 'You liiiiiiiiikkkkeee him' a voice in my head taunted.

But the reality of the matter is that, even if I face the fact that maybe, possibly, I do like him, I also have to accept the fact that he doesn't like me back. Why would he chose me? The girl in the 'My Little Pony' shirt.
