Jace slowly opened his eyes and looked at the clock. It read 5:00 and he sighed. He forced himself to get out of the bed and stumbled out into the living room. Jeff was passed out on the couch while Ben was passed out in the arm chair. 

He walked into the dimly lit kitchen and looked through the fridge. He decided on cereal. He heard a throat clear and he turned. It was Sally. "Hey um, am I making you uncomfortable?" she asked. Jace wasn't sure how to answer. "Yes and no" he answered. She tilted her head in confusion. "Just please don't try to hit on me, I don't like it" he replied quietly. She nodded and turned away. 

"I just really like you, you know?" "Yeah, I know." 

"And I know you don't like me back, I just need to accept that" she says. "Im really sorry" Jace says. "No, you can't help who you like and don't like" she replied quickly. Jace nodded and continued to make cereal. Max suddenly walked in and yawned. Jace looked at him from the corner of his eye and blushed. 

Sally looked at Jace and kinda smiled evilly. He shook his head and his face got redder. Max walked up right behind Jace and grabbed something. Jace felt everything. He was sweating at this point. 

Sally was just watching and snickering silently.
