*sighs* late update as always.

Hayley’s POV.

“Hello, Hayles.” Selena smiled. “How are you?”

Wait. Why is she talking to me? What happened to her? Did she swallow something hard or what? After all of those evil glares, frowns and mean gestures to me, she’ll ask me how I am. Someone tapped my shoulder which made me snap out of my thought.

“I uh.. I’m fine. Thanks.” I forced a fake smile.

“Great.” She said, cheery. “Hello.” She turned to my aunt.

“Hi. Pleased to meet you. What’s your name?”

“Selena. And you are?” She offered her one hand and my aunt took it.

“I’m Hayley’s aunt.” Aunt replied.

“Really? I thought you were sisters, seriously.”

“Oh. So, you must be a close friend of Hayles. You seem to be uh.. cheerful?”

What? Selena? My close friend? You have got to be kidding me. No. Never. And I will never ever allow Selena to be my close friend.

“No, we barely talk in school. Oh I have to go, Mom’s calling me. Take care you two.” She said, as she hurriedly made her way to her Mom who is waiting for her in front of a shop, a few meters away from us. Jeez. I thought she’s going to lie from us, but she didn’t. I wonder where she get the initiative and effort to talk to me. Ugh.

“Do you have any plans?” Aunt asked.

“About what?”

“Making friends with that girl.”

“No. No. No. No..”

“Why is that Hayley girl?”

“Don’t wanna talk about it.” I simply replied.

“Spill.”

Next thing I knew, I explained what was really going on between Selena and I. She said that it was fine and I should have moved on a long time ago. Everyone deserves their second chance. But for Selena, should I give her a second chance? Will I?

Josh’s POV.

“Hey, man. ‘sup?” It’s Kevin’s voice on the other line.

“Nothing new. Ha. Why did you call? Another girl problem? Ugh. Don’t ask me.” I kid.

“Yah, you got it right dude. See, the ball is, not a basket ball okay? The valentine’s ball.. I want to ask this girl to come with me but I don’t know how. She is your classmate.”

Wait. Who is he talking about? In my class. Hmm.. Kevin is my best dude since I entered high school. And we were like brothers.

“Who is she?” I asked, puzzled. I couldn’t figure out who the girl is.

“It’s Hayley Williams.” He replied.

“NO WAY!” I shouted.

“Why?” He asked. I was a little shocked when he mentioned the name. I’m planning to ask Hayley to come with me, but she isn’t talking to me. I’m not gonna let someone take her to the ball, unless it is me.

“Hey Josh, why? Does she have a date already?” He asked, confused.

“I don’t know. Oh. Men, I have to go. Sorry. I’ll.. I’ll try to help.” Oh molly! Did I just say that I’ll help? Oh freak. Now what? So damn stupid.

“Seriously? Thanks man.”

“Right, Bye.” I muttered. How can I be so stupid?

Few days later.

Hayley’s POV.

As I walked through the bustling corridor of my school, students were busy doing their thing. Some were throwing crumpled papers everywhere, making out, howling like mad, making fun of some and many more. Pretty normal, nothing has changed really. I think there is, particularly between Josh and I. I haven’t talked to him for a long time since Mom and Dad died. He didn’t even bother to approach me then. So, I believe. There is no reason for me to believe that everything’s alright. I got sick of saying it to myself. A fool.

I opened my locker with a frown on my face. Then, someone appeared beside me. I could smell a men’s perfume. Not bad, not good either. I glanced up to my side to see who it is. Kevin.

“Hi.” He smiled.

“Hi too. ‘Sup?” I shifted my gaze back to my locker and get some of my stuff, one by one.

“Uh.. May I ask you something?” He asked, a little bit nervous.

“Yeah, sure.” I replied.

“May you go to the ball with me?”

Right. So, I completely forgot about that ball. It seems like it isn’t for real, that must be the reason why I can’t remember it. Kevin? Asking me? Boy. Since I don’t have any partner yet, or a date. It’s still the same right? Or not? He isn’t that bad anyways.  So, this is it. I turned my face to him, ready to answer his question.

Selena’s POV.

Whore. I thought. How could Hayley managed to flirt with guys? Is that the effect of losing parents? I am standing near on my locker with my girlfriends. A perfect view. She’s so damn stupid whore. Whore. Whore. Josh just broke up with me, because of what? I bet Hayley’s the reason too. Her aunt thought that I am so kind, but the truth is, I’m not. I admit it.

I feel sorry for Josh ‘cause everything will be such a waste for him. He dumped me and I bet Hayley will dump him too. Now that Hayley’s flirting with that guy over there. What. Kevin? Seriously? Josh’s friend? Now, this is riot. Love this.

“Hey, Jen. Have Hayley’s number?”

“Since when did you have interest in Hayley’s number?” Jen asked, confused.

“It’s for nothing.” I smiled.

“Right. Here.” She smiled back.

Josh’s POV.

I didn’t answer any calls from Kevin since after our talk about that stupid ball. I don’t want him to go with Hayley. I want Hayley to go with me. I hurriedly made my way to Hayley who is standing in front of the lockers and I saw Kevin standing beside her. With his smile so huge. And Hayley too. Now what’s going on? I hate for being late. There's something happened. Something that I don't wanna know.
