Perfect Eve

37

"Stop!" I said, glaring at both Theo and Noel, who were literally seconds away from ripping each other's head.
"I've told you before, don't fight."

Both of them gave me a sheepish smile and pretended to hug each other.

"Now, I'm going. Noel, don't forget to lock the door and-"

"Don't lose the keys. I know." He sighed making me smile and ruffle his hair before leaving to Janet's home.

The whole time when Kate was trying equations, I was left thinking about yesterday.

A stupid mistake. A very stupid one.

And when I saw Sasha at the class, the first thought was whether Zack mentioned it to her or not.

"Hey," I smiled, slowly settling beside her and was relieved when she beamed, chirping a hello.

I mentally made a note to buy Sasha's present even though I didn't know what to buy.

"What're you thinking Sherlock?" She nudged me after class and I shrugged.

"Nothing much."

"Hmm, it's time you come home for a sleepover again." She said.

I visited them a couple of times after the first sleepover. Once, Scarlett asked me if they should do something, probably because of the drunk man issue. It's only after my assurance she smiled that day. Alex said we could do anything of my choice.

It's like I got a whole new family.

"Are you even listening?" She poked me and I blinked at her. Wasn't she talking about sleepovers?

"Huh?"

"I was saying that Tyler is sitting opposite to our usual table. I bet he's sitting there just to stare at you."

I groaned scanning around and saw that almost all the tables were occupied.

"Let him do what he wants to." Sasha pulled me along and we started our lunch.

I could see Tyler watching me. Everyone at his table was chatting and laughing over something, not him I glanced at him for a second to see a small smirk on his lips, looking right at me and I looked away quickly.

"I told Zack about Tyler. That's not a problem right?" She asked casually, stuffing food into her mouth.

"No. Not at all."

Did she mention me saying no to him or just about his miraculous act?

"What did he say?" I asked, just out of curiosity.

"He wasn't that surprised." She shrugged. "He knew it was coming."

He saw it coming? Jake knew it, Sasha knew it, Sophie knew it...

Everyone saw it coming, except me!

Jake's true. I'm stupid. That's the reason.

Thanks to Sasha, ride to work wasn't awkward as I thought. She kept on blabbering, so all we had to do was nod and smile.

I didn't know what I'd say to him if we were alone.

"When are you going to tell him?" Jake nudged me, wiggling his eyebrows.

"I'm not." I shook my head.

"You should." He nodded.

"It's weird."

"Shut up, having a crush on someone isn't weird." He smacked my head, making me sigh.

"No, he likes somebody else. That's weird."
