                                   -Y/n's POV-

"Wow congrats," Millie smirks.

"Yeah, glad to see you guys are happy together," Caleb cheers.

"Thanks," I say faking a smile and grabbing Jack's wrist pulling him into the bathroom. I lock the door and stand in front of it so he can't get out.

"What are you doing?" Jack asks raising an eyebrow.

"Why'd you say we were together?" I angrily ask.

"Well the truth is," he looks away for a second, "I- I like you."

"Oh um, I'm so sorry. I- I don't feel the same way," I say avoiding any eye contact with him.

"That's fine," he nervously chuckles making this whole situation even more awkward.

"Well I guess we kinda have to pretend like we're dating now," I say lowering my voice in case anyone is listening in on us.

"Yeah, since the others know," he whispers.

"Alright babe, we should probably get out of here now so we don't seem suspicious."

"Okay, princess."

I unlock the door and immediately whiff the air to smell the sweet scent of pancakes and maple syrup. I spot steam coming from the kitchen so I take Jack's hand ready to fill my empty stomach.

"What were you guys doing in the bathroom?" Finn asks.

"Probably making out," Sadie snickers.

"Just what normal couples do in bathrooms," Jack nervously laughs.

I elbow him in the stomach, "On the way back from the store, Jack tripped and scraped his knee so I was helping him clean the cut."

"Mhm sureee," Sadie sarcastically says. I notice Noah is still not anywhere to be seen. I am starting to feel like it is my fault that he is not enjoying himself with the cast. I don't really know why I felt this way because in no way am I hurting him or anything by "being with Jack". We only kissed twice and one time was for a game.

I sit down at the table as everyone else is already sitting down. Gaten set the huge stack of pancakes down and from there it turns to complete chaos. The table was suddenly an arena and everyone is to fight for themselves for the food. Butter, syrup, even some pancakes are being tossed around every which way. It finally starts to calm down when everyone is satisfied with the amount of pancakes they wanted.

"I wonder if Noah wants any," I blurt out.

"I'll go ask him, princess," he replies.

"I'll come with," Millie grins and Jack responds by nodding.

-Noah's POV-

I am sitting in my room with puffy, red eyes. I have been crying and I don't even know why. Sure, I like y/n, as a friend and yes I have imagined her being something more to me. I honestly am not really sure how I feel towards her. Interrupting my thought session, I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. They stop right outside of my room. I could see two pairs of feet in the crack underneath the door.

"I'm glad we made that deal," I hear a deep male voice say.

a/n: sorry for the short chapter, it's more of a filler chapter for big events that are going to happen soon. thanks for 500 reads, why this horrible book is getting reads is beyond me.
