Okay I knock once, nothing I knock again.

"Don't come in" He says coldly. I turn the nob carefully and walk in. As if I'd listen to him. He's facing the window and turns around to face me once I walk in.

He eyes me as I walk closer to him.

"I said don't come in, why don't you ever fucking listen to me" he spits coldly at me. His jaw clenches and unclenches. He's mad mad but I don't know why.

"Can you just talk to me, I don't know why you're mad at me" I pleaded. He scoffs and turns away licking his lips. He looks at the window again stuffing his hands inside his pocket.

"Stop acting dumb Ivy" He turns looking at me. He gives me a wicked smile which is not the beautiful $100 smile I'm used to. "Why are you even here" He questions me walking to the bed. He sits at the edge of the bed and I follow him.

"I'm here to figure out what's wrong with you and why you aren't talking to me anymore" I answer. He stares at the ground.

"Oh so I'm the fake friend now" He looks straight not looking at me. My whole body is facing him searching his face for any kind of emotion. He sits there with a stone cold face. I've never seen him like this and it freaks me out a bit.

"I never called you-"

"She told me at the Bonfire" He cuts me off. I stare at him in confusion. Who?

"Who" I ask. He turns to finally look at me.

"Krystal" OH SHIT

I look shocked but immediatly cover it before he notices. She fucking told him. He thinks I'm a stalker now. OMGG no wonder she said him and her were getting along.

"Jack that was in the summer, I didn't even think I'd see you again" I ramble. He probably thinks I'm some crazy stalker that saw him once at Whole Foods. He just stares at me in confusion.

"The fuck is you talking about Ivy, Krystal told me how you felt about me" I concludes and I gape at him. This bitch Krystal didn't. WOw

"Okay. Maybe I do think you're kind of cute but" I get cut off again.

"No don't play around Ivy. You said I'm not good enough for you. Don't start saying all this 'oh you're kind of cute' shit" He gets off the bed pacing the room. Wait, I admitted I liked him for nothing. Then what the fuck is he talking about?

"Jack what are you talking about, I never said that" He looks at me. Looking at my face to see if I'm lying. He walks up to me.

"Krystal told me you did, don't lie" He says coldly. "Don't fucking lie to me Ivy" He whispers at me with a hint of worry.

"Jack I'm serious, I promise you I never said anything bad about you" I say holding up my pinkie finger. He looks at it and turns away. "Why would you even listen to Krystal, you barely know her"

"Yeah seems like I don't know you either" he scoffs. I roll my eyes.

"Who are you gonna believe then. Me
Or her" I tell him. He thinks about it.

"Jack I never said anything bad about you and that's a fact. I never said you weren't good enough for me and I don't know why Krystal even said that in the first place. She doesn't know you and even if I did say that she had no right blabbering about what I said and what I didn't say. She is kind of a pathological liar so there's never a time when you know if she's telling the truth or not. I know what I said and what I didn't say. So now that you know that I will leave now" I finish off and he looks at me. Staring creepily into my soul.

"Ivy" I walk off about to leave. "Ivy" He yells louder. He roughly grabs my wrist spinning me over. "I believe you" He tells me, his face softening. "I realize where I went wrong believing Krystal and I hate that I got so upset about that not asking you if it were true or not" He tells me. I look at him. He goes in for a hug and I hug him. It feels all nice until someone interrupts us.

"Hey kids" Maria exclaims and I turn to see her little head poking out of the door. I laugh and me and Jack separate. "So there are some extra cupcakes downstairs if you want some" She tells us. We walk over and head down to the kitchen to enjoy the delicious cupcakes.

________________

Its around 8:30 ish and me and jack decided to sit on his from porch to watch the stars.

"Ivy I have to tell you something" Jack blurted looking nervous. I arch a brow as a signal to continue. "I liked Heather before you but she rejected me and then I realized I liked you all a long and Hidaya helped me realize that and now I kind of think that Hidaya likes me" He says all in one breath.

I don't even know what to think or feel. I am lost for words. Hidaya liked Jack? Jack liked Heather? Heather rejected him? I'm a rebound girl? And on top of that all Krystal is a fake friend.

"Ivy?"

"I- I need to think about this." I get up from the chair I was sitting on. "I'll see you later Jack" I walk straight not looking back.

"Wait Ivy" He says softly waiting for me to turn around but I don't. "Okay bye then" He finally says loud enough for me to hear.

When I get home I sit down on the couch eating a tub of ice cream. I don't really feel anything and it kind of scares me. I just take my time to think this all through.

Jack liked Heather, she rejected him, he realizes he likes me, Hidaya helped him realize that, Hidaya is crushing on Jack. Oh and Krystal is trying to make Jack hate me for some odd reason.

But besides all the crazy shit that's happening all I'm thinking is, does Jack like me? I mean he hasn't really said it out loud he just kind of does stuff. I don't know how to explain it. I get lost in my thoughts when the doorbell rings.

I get up from my spot on the bed to open it while Max rushes down the stairs. I open it and I'm face to face with Jade? Wtf

"What are you doing here dressed up like that" I ask her and she turns red in embarrassment and looks behind me. I turn around to see an also dressed up Max. Why are they, ohhhhhh I'm slow.

"Shit sorry guys, have fun use protection and uh want me to take a picture" I ask in embarrassment. Max walks to the door where Jade is. They look cute together. Max hand me the phone. "Oh you were serious" I laugh taking his phone. I snap a pic of them.

"Thanks Ivy, I hope it isn't weird that I'm going on a date with your brother" Jade says her face still red. Max takes the phone to examine the picture.

"It's fine I don't even care" I brush it off. They leave and I sit back down on the couch. Only when I do that the doorbell rings again. Max probably forgot his keys or something. I open it and I'm face to face with Heather and Hidaya.

Uh oh.

I feel like I'm always saying that all of a sudden, 'Uh oh'. Like all this unwanted drama came from no where. It started back in the summer, around the time...

Oh.

When Jack moved here.
