CHRIS'S POV

They kissed. Hayes and that girl. My heart was shredding. Pieces and pieces fell off as seconds passed by. After Monday, I guess something happened, and we just stopped acting like a couple. Which I missed. They stepped out of the pool, and Hayes squeezed my hand, giving me butterflies. Well if he is gonna give me butterflies, then why don't i?

I walked over to the table where Hayes was. I don't know how I would give him butterflies, but i could just tease him. With someone else, like he is doing to me. I looked around, and saw Carson stuffing a cupcake in his mouth. "Hey Carson" I said.

"Oh, hey Chris" he said swallowing the cupcake. Carson had deep green eyes and somewhat messy blonde hair. We've been friends for a really long time, and we talk sometimes.

"C-Can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked. He nodded, and I dragged him out to the front.

"What's up?" He asked once we got to the front.

"I need you to help me make Hayes jealous" I blurted out.

"Ohhhh you jealous of that girl he brought? What's her name...Mallory?" He said smirking.

"Yeah. Anyways will you help me? Please?" I begged.

"Sure. I'll just follow you" he said and I nodded. I dragged him back to the back yard. Hayes was sitting in a lawn chair talking to Mallory.

I dragged Carson over to the food, and we started talking. He is probably one of the funnies guys I know, so I didn't need to pretend like I was laughing. "Why don't you and Hayes just get together already" Carson scoffed rolling his eyes, making me giggle.

"I-I don't know we were kind of like a couple, and then I don't know what happened" I shrug.

"Hayes, hayes, hayes. Don't know how Mallory is still with him. I don't even know how you do it" he said laughing, and I laughed along with him.

"You get used to it" I said nodding. "Hayes is looking at us" I pointed out. I could see Hayes perfectly since Carson's back was to him, and I and a perfect view.

Carson laughed and grabbed my waist, lightly. My arms rested loosely around his shoulders. "Ready?" I asked and he nodded. I stood up on my tippy toes, and our lips connected. Nothing. I felt absolutely nothing. Not a spark, not a butterfly, nothing. It was weird, do I only feel this way around Hayes?

I opened one eye, and saw Hayes furious. You could see it in his eyes. His facial expression was pretty much blank, but his eyes showed pure jealousy. I smirked a little, and Carson laughed. We pulled away, and just started laughing. He looked back at Hayes, and he was furious.

I told Carson to stay where he was, and I walked by hayes, bumping his shoulder lightly as I walked by. I looked back at him, and winked, like he did to me.

HAYES POV

I watched chris wink at me, like I did to her. She just kissed one of my best friends. Ever. And the amount of jealousy I felt I can't put into words. As soon as they kissed, my body completely stopped. I kept watching and I couldn't take my eyes off them.

When they pulled away I was still feeling the same way, not moving. when chris bumped my shoulder, I felt a tiny spark that almost gave me the ability to keep moving.

Mallory looks at me for a second, and then giggles. "Who is she?" She asked.

"Uh w-what are you talking about?" I asked acting like I didn't know.

"The girl. It's clear your trying to make someone here jealous" she said smiling and standing up.

"I uh um" I began but I didn't know what to say without her getting hurt. I've hurt enough girls already.

"I won't be mad don't worry" she assured me. I took a deep breath.

"Well uh my best friend. Chris. We have a really complicated history. A-And I kinda screwed up and now we're friends. And then we acted like a couple for a weekend and then she started flirting with the player of the school, and hasn't since. And now she's using my best friend well, because I used you" I admit feeling bad. How could I do this to such a sweet girl like Mallory?

"I knew it" she said.

"What?" I ask confused.

"It's obvious, hayes. You look at her all the time, and you talk about her. Well over text you did. It's clear you like her" she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"R-Really?" I asked.

"You have 'I love her' and an arrow pointing to chris, written all over yor face" she giggled. I didn't know it was that obvious.

"W-What do I do?" I asked desperate for help. I want chris, but I don't want to be so willing to do whatever and whenever. I want to give her a challenge. But not a big challenge. And I know that's what she wants to give me.

"Do what you want. But if you need me, you know where to find me" she said winking, before heading over to the drinks.

I thibk I should give chris a little game. Like she would give me. Flirt with other people, and make sure the other one notices. I don't want to show her that I'll go right to her if she asks. And I don't want to just go to her one day and pour my heart and soul out to her either.
