"Oh, hi Chadley" I say with obvious shock as I open the house door

Shit.

I most likely look and smell so bad.

I haven't shower or changed my clothes today. I've been wearing an oversized hoodie and sweatpants all day. On top of that I'm still wearing the same messy bun from last night.

"Haven't you hurt her enough, bozo" Faith says with an angered facial expression

"Haven't you hurt her enough, bozo" Faith says with an angered facial expression

"Faith, it's okay, I can handle myself" I assure her

I attempt to usher them out, choosing to follow them since I don't want any of my family members to eavesdrop on my conversation.

"Fine, but I'm keeping my eyes on him" she threatens with a glare directed at him

Bailey rolls her eyes and pulls Faith with her towards her moms car.

"Uh, ignore her, she's just being protective of me" I explain to him

"No, I completely understand, I was an ass" he says

"Well I'm not going to deny it" I say as I push my glasses up the bridge of my nose before crossing my arms

I only wear my glasses when I'm either watching television or reading a book with small words but today my vision is significantly worse

He laughs at this, nervously looking down at his feet.

"First off, I would like to apologize for treating you horribly, talking badly about your friends and wasting your time," he starts off

"I was jealous," he confesses making my eyes widen the slightest bit

"I was always jealous whenever you'd hang out with Aurelia" he informs me making my eyebrows furrow

"Why?" I question genuinely

"Whenever you're around her you seem... different, happier?" He reveals making my cheeks warm up a bit

Great.

Now there are officially three people who believe that I like Aurelia.

Am I the only one not seeing this?!

"And when I saw the two of you kiss after school I wasn't only jealous, I was confused too," he continues to inform

"I was wondering what I did wrong, but then I remembered the look that the both of you shared after the kiss" he says

"What look?" I ask again with a confused tone of voice

"As if you had strong feeling for each other" he responds

"When you saw me you looked terrified, I figured it was because of said kiss, so I broke up with you for the sake of your happiness" he finishes with a small smile
