As soon as February was in, there was a knock at my door. I jumped at the sound and rushed over to my bed. I pulled the duvet right up to my mouth and told him to come in.

"How are you feeling?" he said peeking his head around the door.

Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be sick. Ugh this shit is so tiring.

"I'm f..fine. Ouchhh!!!!" I act, slamming my eyes shut.

"I have a hot water bottle, I heard that helps with cra-"

"I'm fine REALLY!" I interrupt.

I just know February is going to make fun of me. Thanks dad for being such a big help.

"Let me at least take your temperature. I have to make sure your okay Lexy." he says sitting by my head.

Eww. I hate that nickname. My name is Alexandra, my nickname is Alex. I can't have a nickname nickname you see what I'm saying. It's stupid.

"I kinda told Jason I'd Skype him..so..." I say just to get him to leave.

"Oh! That's great! I'll leave you to it then. Tell him I say 'hi'." I roll my eyes at his false hope.

He still thinks Jason and I have a shot. He is happy,he has a girlfriend.

I jump out of bed and and make sure he's gone. I peek my head out the door until he is a good distance away.

"Who's Jason?" February whispers in my ear.

I turn around and breath out deeply at how close he is. His curls dangle in front of his eyes giving off a mysterious vibe. His eyes could literally save my life with just one look.

"We...dated." I say quietly.

"Do you still..like him?" I bit my lip as I think of what to say.

"Well I obviously like him. He's my friend." I explain

I move out from our closeness and grab my laptop up off the floor.

"You know what I mean." he looks annoyed at my answer.

"It's not a big deal. I don't know why you're getting annoyed." I mutter the last part under my breath.

I really don't want to talk to February about Jason. That's just too weird.

"He has a girlfriend." I say typing in my password, keeping my eyes off him.

I could feel his gaze on me though, his gaze must have powers too. I feel weak every time he looks at me.

"He's an idiot for breaking up with you, you know that right? If you were mine I'd never let you go." I gulp and feel my mouth go dry.

He walks closer to me as I keep my eyes glued to the screen. He lifts the laptop off my lap and forces me to look at him.

"Lexy." he smirks.

"Ughhh. I hate you!" I laugh.

"I just wanted to say that-" but before he can finish my Skype goes off. It's Jason.

Huh, I wish we could have one conversation without being interrupted.

"Two seconds." I say.

He looks at my laptop and sees the name and rolls his eyes.

I accept the call and turn the laptop away from him.

"Hey Jay!" I say smiling.

"Hey! What's up?" he replies.

I've almost forgotten how his blonde hair looks just perfect always, not a hair out of place. His ocean blue eyes beam at me. I always remember how safe I felt looking into them.

He and February are absolute opposites. Jason is the type of guy you would love to bring home to your parents, hence why my dad loves him. February is the type of guy...you would hold off on bringing home to your parents.

Not that I would...bring him home or anything...cause I wouldn't..anyways...

"Nothing I was just...doing homework." February scoffs at my attempt of lying. I glare at him and turn back to Jason.

"Are you with someone? You seem distracted." February smirks at his question looking at me.

"No no, I'm just.. I'm watching TV."

"You don't have a TV in your room." he chuckles.

"I got one..I saved up.." what is wrong with me? Maybe I am sick.

"Emm..okayy. I just wanted to tell you that Anna and I.. broke up." he sighs.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry...are you okay?" February clenches his jaw and just looks to the side.

"I'm fine..I was wondering...maybe...we should-"

"I..I don't think we should talk about this now." I glance up looking at February.

He looks as if he wants to break something...but why is he mad? We aren't dating or anything.

Deep down I think I know why he's mad but..I know it would never happen...

"Okay..I'll see you." I wave and close off Skype.

"What's wrong?" I look up at his narrowed eyes.

"WHAT'S WRONG?!" he shouts.

"Shhhh!!" I say covering his mouth.

"So you're gonna get back together with him?" he whisper yells.

"I..I..no..I...I don't know.." I look down at my feet and bit my lip.

I don't feel anything for Jason...how come everyone else gets to be happy but me..

I'm cursed. I know it.
