Stace's pov

i laid on my bed, and sighed. Chloe and her friends were out somewhere and i was home alone.

until i heard the door slam open. i got off my bed and went to go check who it was. it was Theo, Abi and Cory.

"STACEY WACEY" cory shouted. i rolled my eyes and walking over to them, they were in the living now.

"we came here for emotional support" Abi said, Theo and Cory nodding.

i gave them a questionable look, in which Theo responded to "ya know the situation with Ethan. i think you should just end it"

"i cant just end it, i have to pull through and show him how it feels for girls to get played" i say, almost a yell.

"okay sorry sorry, but we should go to the movies" Theo said.

"why not" cory said.

me and abi shrugged.

we ended up picking to go see Jumanji 2.

*Ethans pov*

our friend group went to go bowling and to go eat.

i was in a daze, thinking of what happened with Stace. i feel bad about it.

did i just say that?

"earth to Ethan, your turn to bowl" Grayson said.

"oh sorry. i'm just tired" i say.

i shook it off and went up to bowl.

i went to the counter to get some food. as i was waiting, Grayson came up behind me.

"what's really going on"

i shrugged "i was out with another girl and Stace seen me. she got really defensive and hurt by it. i didn't think of anything of it"

"you need to apologize to her Ethan"

"i know, i will tonight when i'm at their house"

"good"

**that night**

Stace's pov

i was sitting in my room, thinking about today. i kept trying to get it out of my head but i couldn't.

i put on a movie to ignore everything in my head. until a knock came from my door.

"come in" i said. i assumed it was Chloe so i kept watching the movie.

someone cleared there throat. i looked over, Ethan.

i rolled my eyes and paused the movie.

i didn't say anything. i didn't want to.

"i'm sorry. i didn't know it'd hurt you, i just did it" he says, after a minute.

i slowly nod and look at him in the corner of my eyes. he sighed and walked out.

"close my door, asshole" i joked, laughing at the end.

i heard him walk back and he stood in the doorway.

he gave me a smirk before coming over and jumping on me and tickling me.

"Ethan" i said allowed.

he stopped and i breathed deeply.

he stared at me, i stared back. glancing at his lips every so often. until we locked lips.

it felt different. i never had a boyfriend before, but i had my first kiss in 6th grade. maybe it's different because i'm older. not because i like him.

his lips were soft, i could feel his slight moustache and beard. it kind of tickled. he pressed his lips slightly harder against my mouth.

he pulled away, and at that second it seemed like i wanted more. but i can't. i don't like him.

"i should get back downstairs" he whispers.

i nodded.

he gets off my bed and stops at the doorway and closes the door on his way out.
