Soooorry for the hiatus ._. This chapter is written by my darling cocoamarshmellie c: i love it ;-;

Candys POV

I looked down at the shirt in my hands and felt somehow embarrassed about being too forward. She'll think that I'm annoying and stupid and..oh god. I should stop or I'll be crying soon.

"Guuuys how about a snack?", Janines voice accompanied her growling stomach.

"Urgent, huh?", Shania laughed and linked arms with her. "Chinese?" "Oh my god YES!" Janine moaned and now I was laughing too. She always kept herself together and pretended to be calm and emotionless but sometimes she was so adorable and cute and...different. It made my heart melt a little every time. I kept looking at her,smiling, and suddenly she stared back at me with an odd warm twinkle in her brown eyes. Getting lost in those chocolate depths, I didn't mind where I walked and bumped right into someone.

"Huh?!" I yelped and re-focused on reality.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry! ", a deep voice acclaimed and I was glaring at a tall, dark-haired guy.

"It's okay..", I murmured and squeezed past him, eyes on the ground.

"HEY", he shouted and made me turn around surprised. "Can I...buy you lunch as an apology?"

"Naah thanks, I'd rather be with my friends." Was that rude? Maybe.

Anyway, I kept walking next to Shania and Janine, heading towards the smell of fried food.

"Ohhhhhhhh buuurn, dude, burn!", the both claimed. I just looked at them, half smiling, half confused "What?"

"That was smooth haha, rude but smooth. Why did you tell him no? He was cute..", Shania laughed.

"Because I'm with you, stupid", I laughed back, unsure if he really was cute. Huh. Usually I notice these things.

"Too bad. If I'm getting together, and him and you would have made a couple, we could all have been talking about our boyfriends! Well, soon!", Shania squealed, eyes wide.

"Oh god no, not girly talk!", Janine interjected. "Whaaaat don't you want to share you secwets with us?", Shania asked in a baby voice.

"Oh shut up, my boyfriend is not that interesting", she seemed uncomfortable and didn't meet our eyes.

"You've got a boyfriend? " Why does this hurt me?

"Well, yeah...I guess...", she looked at me straight and I could see bits of her imaginary mask falling and a weird expression making way.

"You GUESS?? What you told me was quite obvious, girl", Shania laughed.

Oh okay, I'm jealous. Why?...is it because she's taken and I am not? Probably. Yeah it's probably that.
