Ethans POV

It was the way her hair wasn't styled in a particular way to make herself look 'presentable'.

It was the way that her shirt didn't match the sweats she wore along with the black socks with one obviously longer than the other.

She was a mess, and she knew it.

Her eyebrows furrowed in a way you could tell she wasn't down for anyone's shit today, and i don't know why it made me more excited to see her.

For all i know, my presence could push her to the edge and make her snap. But i've always enjoyed the way she goes off.

Without even needing to know that she was frustrated, her hands raised as she halted in front of us all, her eyes looking down while inhaling sharply through her nostrils.

"i'm not having a good morning, i just need coffee." her head tilted while everyone tried hiding their tiny smiles whilst looking at her.

She then quickly tucked her hands into the pockets of her sweats, her lips pursing to the side which made me adore her little expression.

She was so mad that i found it cute.

"i gotcha babe!" Malia then comes running from where Bailey has just entered the building, puffs of air signalling the time she took to run with the already bought coffee.

I stared at the situation in a confused yet amused manner, trying to put one and one together. Jacob couldn't help but giggle, Baileys head snapping up to soon make him choke and freeze.

"i'm sorry-"

Malia finally made it beside Bailey, her hand basically shoving the coffee in her own hands, Baileys eyes glowing down at the beverage soon snuggling with disbelief.

She then looks up to Malia with such a cute relieved expression that we all can't help but laugh, Bailey giving Malia a one armed hug as she held the cup out of reach to be careful.

"goodmorning to you too piper." I speak up, enjoying how she freezes and turns slowly with such a glare it sends death threats towards me.

Perhaps i made it worse, but as i said, i've always enjoyed it.

"okay grant, now let's get this straight-" Malias hands rest on Baileys shoulders now as Baileys nose scrunches and Grayson is now shaking his head at me.

"damn my group of friends are interesting." I hear Jarvis murmur, a loud voice catching my voice as he cuts Bailey off abruptly. "now what's happening here?" a small chuckle follows along with his words, the boy earning the dirtiest look i think i've given all year.

Jason.

"this little dick weasel is pushing my buttons and i-"

"babe, the coffee." Malia cuts in, already knowing how to solve the problem.

And as expected, it works as Baileys eyes widen and snap to the warm beverage in her hands, her smile returning and a small bounce in the toes making me chuckle.
