Sophie's PoV:
The agonizing few inches between us were messing with my head, add on that the subtle smell of his dazzling cologne, and I was a goner.
We both move closer and closer in desperate need for eliminating the few centimeters getting in the way.
Our eyes are locked on each other, nothing really mattering besides the two sets of brown poles sharing a virtual hug.
Suddenly a ding hears, completely spoiling the moment we had, or almost could've had.
I jerk back in reaction, the awkwardness engulfing the whole atmosphere, I just want to hide my face in a black hole and never recover.
He seems taken aback as well, snapping out of a haze, clearing his throat in an attempt to avoid the awkward situation.
My eyes to the source of the noise that cut off whatever we had going on, landing on my phone lit with a new notification.
I grab it reading who texted me, finding it was in fact Kira. Her message read:
'movie night without me -_-
Both you and Cole are so going to be whipped cream when I'm finished with you *_* '
I flinch slightly at the harsh words but chuckle nonetheless shaking my head, this is so Kira.
"Umm.. I should probably go" Dylan's voice reaches my ears reminding me of his presence and the embarrassing moment we shared just a few seconds earlier.
"You know you could stay here if you want" I offer him.
"You know, about what you said about your mom telling you to crash at one of your friends" I trail off nervously with pink tainted cheeks.
He seems to settle for a good 15 seconds on my offer, contemplating whether it might be a good option or not.
To cut the root of uncertainty, I add "Well, as you can see I'm all alone here and the house is big, plus it's not like my parents are here to object" I throw in the last part sarcastically.
Upon hearing my constant nagging he finally gives in and nods his head. "I guess ok, ic that's fine with you" He replies and a smile ups my face.
"Yeah, it's fine with me. Just make sure it's fine with your girlfriend. I don't want an angry Lexi knocking on my door tomorrow morning claiming I seduced her boyfriend" I put the word seduced in air-quotes, emphasizing it.
His eyebrows raise in account to my words, I could notice a hint of shock and surprise visible on his face.
"Lexi isn't that bad" He says with his voice low, barely audible. "Besides even if you were trying -which I know you're not- I'm not a cheater that easily gives in" He sounded hurt at my comment.
"I know I didn't mean that, it's just you know how-" I never got to finish my explanation because he cuts me off.
"It's fine, I'll just leave and crash at Alex's or Scott's" He lets out a heavy breath and proceeds to gather his keys and belongings to go.
I hurt his feelings didn't I?
Oh my gosh, sometimes I don't think before blurting the words out of my mouth. I would like to slap myself in the face.
Upon gathering all his belongings, he walks to the front door, mutters a tasteless 'good night' and leaves.
Just like that.
Disappointment settles at the pit of my stomach, weighing a ton on my heart.
It's like everything we shared today evaporated in thin air due to one bad thing. All the progress in building a friendship wasted by one thing said wrong.
I shake my head in regret, walking towards the living room after locking the door, and start cleaning the mess we've made today.
If only the mess I've made could easily be cleaned as well.
I go to sleep mad at everything.
The world.
My own stupidity.
The fricking stupid universe.
But mostly on myself.
When my head hits the pillow, I sigh and close my eyes knowing damn well there's nothing I can do now to fix it.

I woke up next morning like a corpse at best.
The amount of sleep I got was hollow, like I didn't even sleep in the first place.
I get ready for school, hating the idea that I'll have to and actually have to meet people, call me Grinch for all I care.
Reaching the school halls, I'm suddenly hyper aware of my surroundings. Every noise someone makes I hear.
I notice everyone and everything, basically having the whole place mapped out. My gaze although piercing, I act nonchalant, almost bored.
I get to my locker, taking out the books I needed for today's periods and stuffing in the ones I won't need until tomorrow.
The first 3 lessons pass smoothly, although relatively slow. I kept my eyes busy staring at the wall-watch waiting for the torture to finally end.
Which it eventually did.
Thank goodness.
I make my way to the cafeteria at lunch break, grabbing my food I'm ready to go outside to my usual spot when I'm stopped by someone calling me by my name.
I turn around finding Kira waving her hand in the air trying to grab my attention, motioning me towards the table she resided with the company of Scott, Alex, and Cole who was sat beside her.
Good for her, looks like Cole is smitten by her, which has pretty much had never happened to the almighty player Cole Harrison. She got him wrapped around her little finger it seems.
I smirk inwardly, he is starting to fall in love with her, and make my way towards them.
(Cole ladies & gentlemen ð)
"Morning guys" I greet them all with a small smile, then tilt my head in Kira's direction, wondering why she called me over.
"Where you going?" She asks while picking up a fry from the tray placed in front of her and popping it in her mouth, Cole absentmindedly staring at her.
"I was just going to sit outside in my spot" I gesture my thumb to the glass doors leading to the garden outside.
"Firstly, it's cold outside. And secondly, why sit outside alone when your friends are all hear? Come on take a seat"
She gestures to the empty chairs beside Alex and before I can open my mouth to protest she throws me a glare saying 'don't you dare'.
At least that's what I took it for.
I place my tray in the table and plop down in the empty chair next to Alex, giving him a little hi accompanied by a shy smile.
And that's how for the first time in almost 3 years, I've came to desert my usual spot be seated in the cafeteria.
