Charlie's P.O.V.
We all pick each others outfits and then head back to my place. I plop onto my bed with my phone.
"Who're you texting?" Cat asks.
I shrug, "No one actually."
"Not even Tyler?" Madi asks.
I shake my head, "No, we're going out after you guys leave."
"No!" Cat squeals, "Tell him to come now."
"Why?" I ask with a short laugh.
"I want to see him." Cat shrugs.
"Okay." I say unsure.
Standing, Madi and Cat look at me weirdly.
"What?" I ask.
"You're going in that?" Cat asks.
I laugh, "What?"
I take a look at my outfit again, trying to figure out what's wrong.
"Cat, she's beautiful, anything will do." Madi says.
"I'll change." I shrug.
I take out a t-shirt and pair of jeans.
"Don't." Madi says, "Cat's wrong."
Cat gives a glare, "I didn't mean it that way."
"Just stop. I'm just changing my shirt." I say with a smile.
"Fine." Madi sighs.
Sometimes it surprises me how much they disagree on something.
I take off my t-shirt and slide on a part see-through shirt.
"Pretty." Cat cheers.
"I love this shirt." I gush.
"Me too!" Madi joins in.
I make my way downstairs to the living room. Me and Madi sit on the couch while Cat pases around. Mother and Chloe have left. I'm pretty sure Chloe is off bullying some girls with her brat friends. The door bell rings and I stand immediately.
When I open the door, he stands with a blank face. Not Tyler.
"Cole?" I ask, "What are you doing here?"
He shrugs, "I just wanted to come."
"You can't just-"
"Cole!" Cat cheers from behind me.
I sigh and close my eyes. Sometimes she's just a little too nice.
"You'r friends like me more than you." He points out.
"I wonder why?" I say sarcastically.
He drops his head, "I'm sorry, I just want to go back."
I take a deep breath, "Prove it."
"What?" He asks, "How?"
"Be there." I say.
He stares at me, I take a look back at Madi and Cat. Then push him out the door and close it behind me.
"I need to say this without them." I say.
He nods.
"You can be there." I say, "As a friend."
He tilts his head, "What do you mean?"
"You're too close. I have a good thing going and you're kind of ruining it." I say.
"I'm on your mind?" He asks with an amused grin.
I shake my head, "What?... No.. I-"
"Fine." He sighs, "But only on the being there thing."
"Cole." I say with a warning tone.
He shrugs, "That's my offer to filling your crave for me." He says cockily.
"Crave?" I scoff.
Yes. It is Charlie.
He turns around, "See you at school Charlie."
"See ya." I whisper.
I begin to turn until hearing approaching foot steps. Tyler stops in front of me with an annoyed face.
"What'd he want?" Tyler asks with a harsh tone.

Romance"What if I said he likes you?" He asks. "I would say it's obvious." I laugh. He places his hands on the wall, boxing me in on each side of my head. "What would you say if I told you, you looked hot tonight?" He asks. I breathe harshly while staring...
