Charlie's P.O.V

As our noses brush he's pushed away from me. I look over to Tyler as he stands there grabbing his chest. I hear harsh breathing, making me look the other way where he stands. His chest moves up and down, he stares at me with fire burning in them.

"Cole." I breathe.

He turns and walks out the doors. 

"What was that about?" Madi asks, behind me.

I look at her while catching my breath, what did he do that for? 

"I... don't know." I sigh.

"Tyler?" Madi asks.

I look over to him, "You okay?"

He nods, "What happened?"

"I'll explain." I sigh. 

Madi leaves me to talk to Tyler, people still watching.

"It was a truth or dare thing and I may have put you in that position." I admit.

"How?" He asks.

"I was going to kiss you." I laugh.

He smiles, "Oh, I though so." 

"Maybe next time." He laughs.

I shrug, "Maybe."

"Why does he care?" He asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"Could I take you out tonight?" He asks.

"You still want to after that?" I laugh.

He nods, "You're still beautiful."

I blush, "Okay."

I stand and leave him to walk back over to Madi and Cat. 

"Why did you have to dare me that when you know about me and Cole?" I ask.

Oliver clears his throat, reminding me he's friends with him. Suddenly I feel hot, I look over to him.

"I.... didn't say that." I stutter.

He laughs a little, "You're secret safe with me." 

I nod and look back to Madi, "I didn't mean to."

"Just... think." I say, smiling.

She nods and hugs me, Cat joins in with a giggle.

"I'm going to class, you coming?" I ask.

Oliver cuts in, "I have to talk to them."

I nod, confused, "Okay."

Oliver's P.O.V

I need to talk to them without Charlie. They turn to me when she leaves.

"I need some sort of hint about Charlie." I confess.

"What? You like her?" Cat asks.

I open my mouth to deny but Madi interrupts.

"Too late, she already likes C-" Cat slaps her shoulder.

I laugh to myself, "Never mind, that's enough info to get something."

"What?" Cat asks, "What're you up to?"

"Nothing, helping a friend." I shrug.

"Oliver!" Madi warns.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything unless it's the only thing left." I say. 

They both nod, "Okay."

"I do have one more question." I say.

"What's that?" Madi asks.

"What's this Tyler guy mean to her?" I ask.

They both look at each other then back at me.

"We don't know." Cat shrugs, "We have our suspicions though."

"Give me your number and I'll text you later." I say.

"What? No." Cat laughs.

I roll my eyes, "Just give it. I have to go get my best friend."

Cat sighs but obliges.
