Dinner was fine for the most part. Nothing about today was brought up thankfully. I would have been killed if I slipped up. That's a story I don't want to tell.

Here I am, in my room with Jacee. The tension is thick. You could cut it with a knife. It was only a matter of who would speak up first. Jacee gave me her famous death stare. I gave it back while tilting my head. One of us had to crack.

"So are you going to explain to me what's going on?" She asks with raised eyebrows.

"Hmm...I don't know. Should I?" I purposefully annoy her.

She rolls her eyes before saying, "I mean I was used as a coverup."

I sigh, "Fine."

She props her elbows on my bed, waiting for me to tell this grand old story. Her eyes light up in excitement.

"Well, basically Blake Richardson is my partner for a project. We have to get to know each other. We didn't get very far, so he recommended me going over to his place. By the way, he literally lives a block down. Anyway, I had to make up an excuse to go over there. He suggested using you, so here we are now," I explain.

She nods her head thinking. She then says, "Everything seems to be adding up. My one question is what happened while at his place?" She raises her eyebrows.

I quickly respond, "Nothing really. George was there when we arrived. Brad called and I had to reassure everything was alright. Blake and I went into his bedroom—"

She stops me but I interrupt her, "No, nothing happened. We literally just goofed off and asked each other questions."

Jacee sits back up and concludes, "Don't get me wrong, he's an absolute cutie, but there's no way in hell that Brad would approve."

I look at her confused. I never said I like him. Why would she infer this? Do I like him? I mean he's cute, but do I really? Great. Now she's got me thinking!

"I don't know what you're talking about," I tell her.

"Don't even deny it! You so like him! You just know it won't happen so you aren't considering it!" She states.

I mean she isn't necessarily wrong I guess. I do know Brad won't approve. He doesn't like any guy with me. But does any of this mean I like Blake?
