"i'm telling you , we get them both in a room with a nice dinner table set up. they'll have to sit down and get along."

"rose peddles on the floor."

"the room only lit up with candles."

"can y'all shut up?"

it was a daily thing for my three friends to fantasize about what me and ashtray COULD have , although it'll never happen , somewhere in their mind they believe it will.

the three whipped their head towards me , "you don't like him even the tiniest bit?"

i swear i've been asked that question one too many times.

"no , hazel. i don't." i answered , shaking my head at her and turning to look around the lunch room.

"lying straight out of her ass." anna joined in , getting a nod from sage in agreement.

"i'm not. he's such an asshole , it wouldn't work for a day." i said , turning to glance at them before continuing to look around the room.

meeting eyes with ashtray as he was set across the room , i quickly turned my head before it seemed like i was looking for him.

"i would be satisfied to see you two together for two minutes." sage shrugged.

"who are you looking for?" annalise asked me , before i had a chance to say anything to sage.

"probably miles." hazel smirked , elbowing me.

"who's that again?" anna asked her , looking around the room to see if she seen anyone she recognized.

"you know , that one boy that hangouts with ashtrays friends?" hazel replied , leaning her head on the table.

"right there?" anna pointed to a random guy , making me grab her finger and put it down.

"no , i think he's over there with ashtray." i rolled my eyes , knowing that if he is i would have to look at ashtray too.

"speaking of , ashtray has hoes?" hazel said , making me whip my head around to see a girl sitting next to ashtray.

"damn.." anna mumbled , shaking her head like she was disappointed.

"that should be you mal." she tapped my arm twice , shaking her head again.

"has he had a girlfriend before?" sage asked , looking at me for an answer.

hazel and anna laughed , hitting each other in the process.

"you don't remember?" anna asked her , laughing again.

"evelyn harper." hazel chimed in , moving her head on the direction of the girl.

"oh yeahhh." sage smiled.

"and that taylor girl." i added.

to me , ashtrays taste wasn't that good.
don't get me wrong , they were pretty. but their personality's are awful.

and ashtray dating them? i also didn't understand that. to me they seemed like people he would get annoyed with , so when he started dating them i was kinda shocked.

"oh yeah , i forgot about her." anna chuckled , tapping her fingers on the table.

-

"who's that girl you were sitting with?" i asked ashtray , both of us walking to fezcos car.

he turned to me , "mind your business."

i put my hands up , pretending to surrender.
"okay , i won't talk about your girlfriend then."

"who's that boy you were talking to the other day?" he mocked me , opening the passenger seat door.

i smiled , "you should know. he sits with you and your friends."

he rolled his eyes , turning around as fezco pulled off.

"fuck y'all talkin about?" fezco asked , turning to ashtray.

"ashtray has a new girlfriend." i answered , tapping ashtrays shoulder which made him move over so i couldn't.

"damn , man. what's her name?" fezco smirked , and i leaned up , wanting to know the answer too.

"she isn't my girlfriend bruh. ask malani what her boyfriends name is." he turned the tables on me.

"you got a boyfriend mal?" fezco raised his eyebrow , looking at me through the mirror.

"no." i answered , knowing me and miles were probably never gonna happen , he's just one of those hallway crushes.

fezco didn't like me having a boyfriend , ever. he never did. even when i was in middle school he said i didn't need one , you know , what most adults say.

and he especially made sure nothing was going on between me and ashtray , he hated the idea.

which is why i got my own room and didn't share with ashtray.

"you don't need one anyway." he shrugged , parking at our house.

ashtray groaned , hurrying to get out of the car and walk up to the porch. what the hells wrong with him?
