"Hayes..." I said slowly and cautiously.

"I thought I said go away." He said burrowing his face into his knees.

"You did but I noticed you were upset and I wanted to talk to you abou-" he cut me off.

"No Anna. Please go away. It's nothing personal. I just want to be alone right now." I could tell he wasn't telling the truth. After all this time, and I can still tell.

I decided to leave him alone because that is what he said he wanted. The doorbell rang as I was walking down the stairs so I ran back up them quick and opened the door.

"Maddie?" I said. "Why are you here?"

"I was just coming to see if I could talk to Nash." She replied.

"Ok well come in." I motioned her in.

"Where's Nash?"

"I don't know. Probably downstairs. Do you want me to get him?"

Just then Nash walked up the stairs. "I was mentioned."

"Whatever," I said rolling my eyes. "Anyways, Maddie wanted to ask you something."

"Well can I just go and get my stuff from home and stay over with everyone else?"

"Of course." Nash said. "Go get it now."

Maddie went and got her stuff while me and Nash talked.

When she got back, Maddie and I walked down the stairs leaving Nash upstairs.

When we got down there, they boys and my friends were all talking about stuff in a big circle.

"Hey everyone! This is my sister, Maddie!" I said motioning to her.

"Hey Maddie," Shawn said. "You wanna come and put your stuff next to mine?" He patted the ground next to him.

"Ummm..." she started, looking at me. I nodded as if to say "do it". "Sure." She walked over and put her stuff down. Shawn instantly started helping her unpack her sleeping bag.

Taylor walked up behind me. "Shawn's so obvious." He said.

"I know right." I replied.

"Jacob looks a little jealous though." He said pointing at him. Jacob was angrily staring at Shawn and Maddie.

"He does." I said.

"So how about you and Hayes?"

"Don't bring it up." I sighed.

"Oh baby just talk to me."

"I really don't want to Taylor."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Sorry gotta get that Taylor." I said running upstairs.

"Thank god." I though as I was walking to the stairs.

I opened the door to show Abby and Emma.

"Hey!" I said letting them inside. We hugged and talked for a minute before I led them downstairs.

"Everyone! This is Abby," I said pointed to Abby. "And this is Emma." I pointed to Emma.

"Put your stuff by me Abby!" Taylor yelled.

"Ok." Abby said walking over to Taylor.

"Emma! Over here!" Jacob said waving her over.

"I'm coming." Emma replied.

I looked around. Everyone was here except Hayes.

"Well almost everyone is here. Do you guys wanna continue playing truth or dare?" I asked.

"Yes!" The group yelled.

I walked over to my sleeping bag next to Taylor and Hayes' things.

As the group started playing, I whispered over to Taylor, "Jacob doesn't seem jealous now."

"Now he has the other blonde chick." He whispered.

I was about to reply when Carter said "Anna. Truth or dare?"

"Ummm truth." I said.

"WIMP." Nash yelled.

"Whatever Nash," I remarked. "I want a truth."

"Ok. How excited are you for your date tomorrow?" Carter asked.

"WHAT?!?! YOU HAVE A DATE TOMORROW?!" All the girls screamed.

"I'm very excited and could we just have a girl talk quick?" I said.

The guys all agreed to let the girls have a talk. Mahogany wanted to talk with us so we let her because we didn't want to leave her out of our talk. She is a girl after all.

We went upstairs to talk. As soon as we got up there, the girls started yelling questions at me.

"Ladies!" I said putting on my fake stuck up accent. "Let me explain." We all bust out laughing. "No but seriously tomorrow at noon-ish, Aiden is coming over to my house for another date. He hasn't technically asked me out yet but... fingers crossed." I said making a weird face and crossing my fingers.

Everyone started freaking out. It was pretty funny actually.

After we all settled down and everything was cleared up about tomorrow, I said "Let's go downstairs."

"Wait," Mahogany said "What's going on between you and Hayes?"

-Hayes POV-

As soon as I heard my name I hid. I low it's wrong to eavesdrop, but it was accidental. I had just finished my little breakdown thing and got up to get a drink of water. I heard the girls talking but I assumed it was nothing. But right as I was about to walk into the room they were in, I heard my name.

"I don't know anymore." Anna said.

Ouch.

"Well do you like him?" one of her friends said. I think it was Abby. I've seen her around school before.

"Ummmmm a little?"

What.

"Like on a scale from one to ten, ten being like Luke Hemmings." Maddie said. I obviously know Maddie because she's Anna's sister. They both had this weird obsession with 5SOS.

"Eh. 8-ish." Anna said.

Wow. My only question right now is why she thinks I'm an 8-ish.

"Ok can we go downstairs now?" Anna asked the group.

Oh crap. I need to hide. I ran quietly into another room. I finally heard them go downstairs.

But now that I knew she liked me, what was I going to do about it?

|AN: ok so this was long. I hope it was good. But now that Hayes knows that Anna likes him, what's gonna happen? Does he like her back? If he does, is he gonna try to make a move?|
