She pulled out her phone, scrolling and I realized it was even more awkward then because that's the most unsociable thing to do. My phone vibrated and I pulled it out my pocket hesitantly. It was a text from jehanne asking to meet up in town. I texted back that I couldn't and I got a almost instant reply. “you're with ray aren't you?" I rolled my eyes am I really that obvious or is it just because she knows me that well? “yeah. But she won't even talk to me at the moment, it's so awkward." “invite her to my party next friday." I looked up at ray who was scrolling down her news feed boredly, having a inner battle with myself of wether I should invite her or not. Everything always goes wrong in books and films at parties and I mean literally always. Mainly when there's alcohol involved.. Plus, how the hell am I supposed to ask her? What do I say? “oh hi, I hardly know you but your girlfriend doesn't like me, so I thought, maybe you'd come to a party with me and even get drunk? Or better we could even have a sleepover!" note my sarcasm. Coming here in the first place was stupid.  “i er have to go. I'll see you at school." she nodded, making eye contact. I swear she makes this awkward in purpose. I walked out, feeling stupid as I remembered I had asked for a tea then walked out.

I walked home and slumped down on my bed, realizing how melodramatic I was being. I went on my laptop, checking twiter snapchat and Facebook before realizing how bored I was and deciding to go to jehannes house. It was only down the road five minutes later I was already there and knocking on the door loudly incase she was listening to music like usual. She anwsered after a few seconds in her pajamas. I was going to laugh before I realized it was later then I thought. “oh hey nay." she stepped aside so I could come in and I then realized she had been having a movie day with a guy I didn't recognize. “nala this is skye. Skye, this is nala." I smiled at skye and he nodded before turning back to the tv. He had dark brown hair, and green eyes and a nose piercing. I looked between the two of them suspiciously and as if reading my mind jehanne blurted out “we're just friends." “oh.. So how did you meet?" “well he's friends with my sister." I nodded, sitting on the couch and grabbing the popcorn bowl. When “elf" finished, skye left, hugging jehanne for extremely long considering they're “friends" and then when I turned to jehanne she was blushing. “aw you like him don't you?" she shrugged “why didn't you tell me though? It's not like I'm gonna say anything, you're my best friend." “yeah but I thought you'd have a problem with the whole age thing." I quirked an eyebrow “why, how old is he?" “seventeen." “that's only two years! I still ship you guys.. Skyeanne or jye." she rolled her eyes before asking me about ray.
