I sat down at the dinner table at school as Mike and Tre greeted Billie and I. They both obviously now knew we wasn't together and that we still need to fake it for Billie. But they didn't act any different with me.

"Woah, new hair?" Tre asked looking between Billie and me.

"Cool isnt it?" Billie smiled. "I helped Birdie dye it, she helped me dye mine in return,"

"Hey Billie," Mike said with a smirk as he elbowed Billie beside me.

"What?"

"Look who's over there Beej," Tre told him pointing over our heads.

Billie and I turned around to look at who it was Tre and Mike were referring to until my eyes landed on Mave, when I suddenly felt sour.

"Yeah? Wh-what about her," Billie shrugs as he turned back around, pretending he didn't care.

"Hey Mave!" Mike shouted. I looked back over at her to see she had turned to the direction her name had been shouted in. Or more specifically our direction.

"Hi Mike," She smiled walking over.

God she was so nice, why?

"Why don't you come sit with us?" He asked her smugly as Billie hid his face in his hands.

"Are you sure?"

No. Go away.

"Course we're sure, here sit down." Mike budged up making a spare seat for her besides Billie and him as he patted the seat.

She smiled. "Thanks guys." Before taking the seat. Billie finally lifted his head up, looking super nervous as she looked straight over at him. "Wow... Billie I like your new hair,"

"You-you do?"

"Yeah, Blue looks so nice,"

Oh shut up.

"Thanks," He smiled wonky. "Birdie helped me dye it, didn't you?" He turned to look at me as I gave him a distasteful look.

"Mmm," I mumbled.

"You did? That's so nice of you Blaze, I love your hair too,"

Oh please. "Mhm,"

She gave me a confused look before looking back over at Billie. "Can I touch your hair?"

"Oooh," Tre teased as Billie began to stammer.

"Oh- I mean- s-sure if- if you wanna,"

She extended out her hand as I rolled my eyes looking away. God I cant stand being sat here right now. Who asks to feel a boys hair when his girlfriend is on the other side of him? Obviously I'm... not his boyfriend. But she thinks I am.

"I need to go to the bathroom." I muttered as I got up out of my seat. I didn't check to see if anyone had heard me, doubt Billie had at all. And walked straight out the cafeteria down the halls on my way to the toilets.

As I turned the halls and was about to push the doors to go into the ladys bathroom. I saw a familair face come out of the mens as I froze.

"Coby?"

"Oh hey Blaze, havent seen you in a good while,"

I let go of the door stepping back as We stood together in the middle of the hallway. "Yeah I know... I've sorta been busy keeping up with-"

"-You're fake relationship?"

"Yeah," I breathed. "That..."

"Hey I like your new hair colour- wait- are you okay? You look stressed?"

"I'm fine I guess,"

"You guess?"

"Yeah... I guess,"

"Whats wrong?"

I ignored his question looking around the hallways for someone. No one was in sight, so I grabbed Coby by his wrist dragging him into what I knew, and was luckily right about, an empty classroom.

"So here goes," I breathed in as he looked at me surprised by my sudden movements to bring him in here. "Me and Billie have been faking a relationship, no new news there. Well big surprise. I enjoy spending time with Billie. A lot. Too much probably. He's really great to be around. But I'm only spending time with him because he wants to make Mave jealous. Recently I've been looking at him differently. But he doesn't help. He took me to the beach at dark and held my hand even though he didn't need to, he drove me home one night and kissed me on my cheek. There was this one moment where... God- wanted to kiss him. And it scared me so I made him take me home. I saw him talking to Mave in class and I started acting off with him and weird. Now Mike invited Mave to come sit with us and I was being rude to her. God shes so sweet, shes like an angel and I hate it. Coby I don't know whats going on but its freaking me out," It all kinda came falling out so fast. Trying to explain everything as best as I could so he could help me out.

I trusted Coby with everything in me. He was like a brother to me. Literally. He was all I had left to tell. I couldn't tell Eden, it's her brother I'm talking about. I obviously can't tell Billie.

"Don't... don't tell anyone please, especially not Eden. She would hate me forever," I asked after a few seconds calming down.

"I won't tell Eden I promise,"

"So.. what am I suppose to do Coby?"

"Well... if you wanna know what I think truthfully. To me it sounds like you're actually falling for Billie-"

"-What!?"

"Yeah. I mean, you're jealous. You wanna kiss him. You like spending time with him more than you know you should. You can't be normal with him when Mave is there. You suddenly hate Mave despite how perfectly caring and sweet she's been to everyone her whole life,"

"This is terrible!" I shouted freaking out. How have I gone from always being grossed out by even the thought of Billie and I fake dating to now actually developing feelings despite every wrong in this situation. I'm falling in a scenario where I'm the only one falling. I'll end up being completely head over heels for him while hes in a real relationship with Mave and shes getting everything I got and more. "How have I managed to fall for my best friends brother?"

Coby went to give me and answer, but as he opened his mouth there was a knock on the classroom door. We both looked over to see Tre as he opened the door.

"Hey Tre." Coby said looking over at him before he looked back at me. "I'll talk to you later." He quickly whispered before walking past Tre and out of the room as Tre walked in.

"Where were you?" Tre asked me furrowing his eyebrows. "Billie was worrying, we was looking for you. Since you was obviously taking too long to be in the bathroom,"

"You didnt hear any of that did you?"

"I may have heard the last sentence,"

"Which was again?"

"'How have I managed to fall for my best friends brother'?" He quotes trying to remind me as I walked over to a chair and cringed sitting down. I put my face in my hands groaning at how messy this situation had become.

"I cant believe this Tre, what am I gonna do?"

"You've actually fallen for him?"

"Yes! How stupid is that! Tre what do I do!"

"You can't actually fall for the boy this is all suppose to be fake!"

"Don't you think I know that Tre!"

"But I thought you found him annoying? And- and- and gross? What about all that?"

"I did! But now... everything I use to hate has grown on me... badly. Like- like a weed!"

He sighed taking another empty seat and pulling it beside me. He sat down and looked over at me smiling slightly. "I guess I'd be lying if I said I didn't know the feeling,"

"Huh?"

"Well... y'know- Don't tell Billie this- but Eden. I don't know what it is.. but I guess I've always had something there for her y'know? But that's my best friend's sister. He would kill me if he found this out. I know he would. It makes things so complicated cause sometimes I feel she feels the same y'know? But even if she did Its not like anything would come from the situation. And I mean, this has been going on forever. You get use to it,"

"But I don't wanna get use to it,"

"Just don't tell Billie please. We keep each others secrets, deal?"

"Of course I'm not gonna tell him. That's an easy deal."

We got up out the seats leaving the classroom. Who knew Tre cool had a thing back for Eden? I definitely never saw it.

Mike and Billie spotted me in the hallway as Billie ran over to me. "Hey, where did you go? Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry Beej, I just needed a second to be alone I guess," I lied giving him what I hoped was a reassuring smile.

"I was worried,"

"You was?"

"Of course I was,"

"I'm sorry,"

"If you ever need anyone I'm here y'know?" He whispered with a little smile that was already making me feel better. I smiled back as he finished his sentence off.  "I'll be there,"
