You were best friends with Rose and Mason.
You could tell Mason was helplessly in love with Rose.
That stung.
You were helplessly in love with him.
Rose knew, of course.
She dated him briefly, but said it was too awkward.
That's when you told her about your crush.
She was horrified and apologized to you everyday for a month after that.
Mason was still in love with Rose.
When Mason tried to kiss Rose right in front of you, you walked off.
Rose got angry.
You're pretty sure she told him about your crush because he's been avoiding you since.
You and Rose decided to sneak out.
You wanted to go to a supposedly awesome party on the other side of town.
You and Rose were just getting to the gate when Mason showed up.
You immediately hurried over the gate.
"Rose come on," you whispered, loudly, pretending you hadn't seen him.
Mason stood next to Rose.
"You guys can't go," he said.
"Why not?" Rose asked.
"Because. It could be dangerous," he warned.
"But the dancing, the drinks," you replied.
"And the boys," Rose said.
"Oh God, the boys," you agreed happily.
You were hoping to get over Mason tonight.
He glared at you.
Rose jumped over the gate.
"Later Mason," she called.
You just waved at him.
You two were three hours into the party when you lost sight of Rose.
You started dancing dirty with random guys on the dancefloor.
Suddenly, you spotted Rose being dragged out of the club.
Before you could chase after her, you were dragged out, too.
You looked over to see Rose being scolded by Dimitri.
You watched Mason stand in front of you.
You groaned.
"Why are you ruining our fun?" you asked.
Mason didn't say anything until you got back to your dorm room.
Rose was off with Dimitri somewhere.
"Why did you ruin tonight?" you questioned again.
"What was the plan for tonight? Have sex with a random stranger?" Mason growled.
"No. It was to get over my stupid crush on you," you admitted.
Mason's eyes softened.
"You can't do that," he said.
"Obviously," you replied, snarkily.
"No, I mean I don't want you too," he said.
You looked at him confused and he took your face in his hands.
He kissed you hungrily.
"I love you," he whispered when he pulled away.
"I love you too."
