"I'll see you at school tomorrow, okay?" Felix gives me a small smile that I return.

"We were supposed to go on a drama free weekend and enjoy it in bikinis." Makayla sighs throwing her hair into a ponytail.

"Feel free to leave." Reece says with a sweet smile.

"Be nice." Olivia chides and Reece pouts.

"Why're you all still here?" Wyatt asks running his hand through his head.

Damn.

"Is there a reason why you're only in a towel?" Makayla raises her eyebrow scanning him.

"Nah, I just didn't feel like covering all this sexiness in a shirt." Wyatt winks flexing his biceps and Keagon almost gags.

Reece gives out a dreamy sigh and I elbow her.

"What, he's hawt."

"I thought you didn't like him."

"I don't. But there's no denying that he's hot." Reece shrugs continuing to eye rape him.

"So when are we going on that date that you promised?"

Awkward pause ensues.

"You're going to go with him?" Reece gasps.

"I thought you were with Felix..." Olivia raises her eyebrows suspiciously.

"You'll get tired of both of them. Eventually." Makayla voices her unwanted opinion.

"I am hungry." Keagon mumbles and trudges off to the kitchen.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow then." Wyatt shrugs and disappears to wherever he came from.

"You two literally live in the same house. How would he pick you up?" Makayla muses.

"I am still confused. Are you dating Felix or Wyatt?" Olivia looks bemused.

"If Wyatt and Aria had a baby, it would turn out so cute." Reece giggles and I sigh.

Bunch of idiots.

"I'll see you later?" I ask Aria hopefully and she nods and limps off with Reece and Olivia on either side of her.

The girl couldn't walk and had a plaster the size of Antarctica on her leg but still wanted to come to a school.

I shake my head and continue on my way to my locker.

"Hola sweet cheeks." A voice calls out and my groan in irritation.

"Stop coming up with weird names."

"It's fun." Makayla also called as Mac, kind of sort of my best friend shrugs.

"Jump off a building, it's fun too."

"Keagon was right," Mac clicks her tongue. "You do suck at come backs."

"Why are you even here?" I sigh in annoyance. Mac was cool and all but she can be a major pain in the ass.

"I transferred idiot! I told ya, didn't I?" Mac raises her eyebrows. It only takes her a moment to realise it.

"You weren't listening..." She realises mumbling to herself.

"I... I am sorry," I whisper running a hand through my hair. "Aria was hurt and I wanted her to be okay- I couldn't concentrate- "

She blinks her kohl-lined eyes.

"It's fine, don't give me reasons heh." She smiles rubbing at the corner of her eyes. "I have chem class, see you later... I guess." She mumbles and walks away as I let out a small sigh.

"Oooh drama." A voice whistles.

"Yea, go take pleasure at my stupidity." I roll my eyes and continue walking.

"You did the same to me." Felix shrugs.

The urge to stop him there and explain it all over again floods me but I know he won't listen, he never did.

"Whatever I am not here to talk... Aria is mine. I am winning this competition. You can have Makayla or whoever the hell you want."

He looks so different, there's an evil glint in his eyes that wasn't there before... He sounds different.

"Aria is her own person and what we have between us is not a competition. I like her, you like her—but you can't control who she likes." I shrug.

"She likes me." Felix glares at me. "She's my girlfriend."

Half girlfriend but sure.

"I know." I nod. "She still agreed to go out with me though." I smirk.

What? Don't look at me like that! He was being a jerk, it's only fair that I flex too.

"Morning Dumb and Dumber!" Olivia throws her hands around us making me groan in annoyance.

She laughs and reaches up to mess up my hair and I scowl pushing her hand away.

"I hate you so much." I mumble and she grins.

"I love ya too babe!"

"Does that make you the dumbest?" Felix asks Olivia with a easy smirk.

"Nawh, I'm Patrick." She giggles. "Kay I gotta go to class!" She waves and hops away like a rabbit making me laugh.
