"so you're telling me he actually came in and spoke to you? what are the odds of that?" spencer asks, legs crisscrossed on the sofa as he hugs the pillow in his lap and leans his head on it.

the boys came over after my crying fit with my favorite things after the girls called them, and although they're all dating, their presence is still very needed.

"yes. it was so awkward. he just kept looking at me like he couldn't stop staring."

"well i mean... look at you!" blakely laughs, "he is in love with you of course he was staring... you're hot?"

"i'll have to agree with her," pate says, "as much as i hate to. why wouldn't he be staring. you look fantastic and way more mature than you did three years ago. plus the whole love thing."

"guys, he is not in love with me."

spencer scoffs. "yeah okay rora. i'm sure he doesn't."

"aurora, i'm sorry but you're delusional. how can you think he's not still in love with you?" channing looks at me, all of their eyes waiting for my response.

"gosh, um, i don't know, maybe because he said so three years ago?"

"that means absolutely nothing, i'm sorry." pate states, scared to see my reaction.

"excuse me? you weren't even there. you didn't even see the look on his face." i scoff, started to get annoyed that i even told the guys.

i knew they would act like this.

"look aurora, i'm not gonna down play it. what he said was mean and really damaging. but he is a boy. in his mind, no matter if it was nice or not, he probably has some twisted way in which the words he said to you made sense to him. somehow he thought it would eventually help you, most likely. because i saw him around you, rora. and trust me, he was most definitely not over you, and my guess, still isn't."

"pate's right, aurora. he wouldn't have been so stuck in his head if he hated you. he would've glared or something. i don't know. but he definitely doesn't hate you. i don't think he's over you either. maybe we should ask pauline." spencer agrees.

"DO NOT CALL PAULINE. that is embarrassing."

"how on earth is that embarrassing? it would be helpful to know."

"no, i am not asking the sister of the guy i'm in love with how he FEELS. that's invading her privacy, and his. it's none of my business."

"aurora, please. you are such a people pleaser. i bet she would be more than willing to talk about it. she's been rooting for you two since she witnessed the breakup."

"give it up guys it's not happening." i state, heading into the kitchen to make myself a coffee.

"aurora, this is fate that brought you back together."

"no it's bad luck. i'm calling out of work tomorrow. can we just have a friend day? please?"

they all stare at me as i pour the chilly froth into my coffee, making the dark brown fade into the milk. the silence in the room is loud, and i feel all eyes on me.

i finally look up, seeing spencer's face first, and his eyes search my face.

"please aurora. just think about talking to her. i think it will help your anxiety about him."

i see now that my friends are genuinely worried about me, their eyes glossed over as they look at me in my current state of his old sweats and my favorite t-shirt. i really need new clothes.

"fine, fine." their faces relax, and i go into hug spencer as i set my coffee down. "only if we have a bff day tomorrow."

pate groans and spencer states, "only for you." as he winks at me, and i just laugh.

channing and blakely smile soft smiles at me, and for the first time all day, i actually genuinely smile back.
