-Zed's POV-

"Mom! I'm heading out!", I yelled as I walked down the stairs. I didn't hear any reply so I headed straight outside.

I went to my gang's hangout place. I was surprised to see....girls playing billiards...here?

"Zedrick! There you are!", Marcus said and gave me a chestbump.

"Marcus, what is this? Who are they?", I asked my closest friend.

"Your options, bro.", it's Brent who answered.

"Options??", I eyed them.

Brent stood up from his seat and lay both his arms on the shoulders of the two ladies. "Yes.. Marcus and I decide to help you forget Macey."

"Hi! Zedrick right? I'm Hailey.", one girl said and extended her arm to me. I just stared at it until she pulled it back.

"I'm Lauren.", the other said and just smiled.

I scowled at my two thoughtful friends. "How many times do I have to tell you guys, I ain't planning to forget her?"

"Bro, it's been what? ...two years ?? Come on! You should be having the time of your life! Don't get too serious yet. You're still young. We're still young!", Marcus said.

"I can't believe you're my friend.", I said out of irritation.

"And we can't believe that you can stick to that Macey for so long.. What kind of girl she is for you to go crazy over her?", Brent asked. Well...they haven't met her yet and they have no idea who she is.

"Whoever she is, she's damn lucky.", Lauren commented.

"Look bro. It's either you go out with other girls or make a plan of how you'll going to win her back instead of just whining here.", Marcus pointed out.

"Who said I don't have a plan yet?", I replied.

"There is?? What is it? We want to help!", Brent said excitedly.

Yep! That's the kind of friends I need right now.

-Macey's POV-

"Macey!!!", I almost jumped off my seat when Nikka shouted right into my ears!

"What the fvck?!", I turned to her.

"Finally! Welcome back! So how's the outer space?", she said.

"What the hell are you talking about?", puzzled me.

"Duh!! You've been pacing out! I was like talking about the possible universities we can enroll into and yet.. You're thinking of something else. Go, spill.", she said.

Oh.. I was so indulge on pondering about the state of my heart right now that I forgot I'm with her.

"Sorry.. Uhm.. How can you tell if you're still in love with someone?", I asked.

"Hmm.... One is still in love with someone when she's loosing interest with other guys. She tries dating but never goes serious with anyone because she finds them boring. She always sees what a certain guy lacks of that that perticular someone has. And she keeps on blabbering how she hates the changes she noticed-"

"Wait. Is it just me? Or you're really talking about....me?", I cut her.

"Oh my gosh!! You noticed?".. Wow. How sarcastic?

I just glared at her. She chuckled.

"Now, did I answer your question?", she asked playfully.

I shrugged. But truth is...she made me feel how stupid I am.

"What if you just go to him and tell him that you take back all that you've said?", she suggested and she sounded serious.

Well....she's my bestfriend. So I told her everything. Though I know she have a big crush over Zed, she still shows me how supportive she is to me at almost anything. So I trust her.

"You sounded like I just broke up with him yesterday.", I rolled my eyes and huffed.

"Just saying...", she shrugged. "But I do have a point right?"

"Whatever.."

But...what if I try? Aishh! That would be stupid.

But then, I haven't seen nor heard him dating.. What if? Should I keep my hopes up?
