*CONTINUES*

We were already

halfway there when

Cedric looked up and

saw us. He froze as he

watched us, which was

when Hail noticed and

looked over her shoulder

too. She blinked a lot

and tensed, almost rigid

with anxiety. I tried not

to glare at her.

I put on my best smile.

“Hi there! Isn’t it great

to find both my ex best

friends together?”

“Kyla,” Cedric said,

eyeing Hail and then me.

“It’s not—”

“Oh, shush,” I said.

“Hey, Hail! Have you

met Seth? Seth, this is

Hail. She and I used to

be best friends.”

Seth eyed me warily at

first before nodding at

Hail and saying, “How

you doing?”

“We thought it would

be soooo nice to eat

lunch with you guys,” I

said, smiling sweetly at

them. “That would be

okay, right?”

“Yeah, sure,” he said,

looking away from my

face. And… well, his

gaze landed on Seth. Or

his shirt. “Hey, is that

my shirt?”

Seth sent me an

amused glance and we

both started to laugh.

Oh, god, I totally forgot

about Seth wearing

Cedric’s shirt. “Well, you

don’t mind, do you?”

Seth said. “I sort of

crashed the night at

Kyla’s because her

mother wasn’t at

home.”

Both Cedric and Hail

froze.

“By the way, if you ever

find yourself looking for

a place to crash, try

Kyla’s. Her bed is so

awesome it feels like

heaven. Well, of course,

I could be referring to a

different kind of

heaven…” he said

suggestively, and by

the look on Cedric’s and

Hail’s faces, I knew

they were thinking

exactly what Seth

wanted them to think.

Once we were all

settled, I beamed at all

of them. “Oh, I sure

hope we’re not

interrupting your fun

time with your

girlfriend,” I told Cedric.

“And please don’t think

that the whole

situation is awkward.

This whole, ex-best

friend and ex-girlfriend

thing shouldn’t get in

the way.”

Obviously, my comment

inly made everything

more uncomfortable for

them.

“Well, let’s eat!” I said

brightly, making sure

it’s clear that my

enthusiasm was

obviously fake.

We laid out the food we

had. As I opened the

picnic basket Seth made

for us, I noticed that he

was watching me. I

gave him a sideways

What glance.

He shook his head and

let out a breath,

shrugging as if to say

Nothing but I clearly

knew he had an opinion

about the whole

situation again. Did the

guy really have an

opinion for everything?

Opinionated guys are

supposedly gay, right?

Needless to say, things

went downhill from

there. Especially for

Cedric and Hail, seeing

as they were obviously

forcing the polite

attitude and civilized

manner. I, however,

was clearly enjoying the

show.

Hail was drinking some

orange juice when I

decided to nonchalantly

ask, “So, have you had

sex yet?”

She made this awful

choking noise and

coughed. A lot.

“Omigosh, are you

okay?” I asked her,

actually feeling a little

concerned. I even felt

bad knowing that I

caused this whole

coughing fit.

Cedric reached out to

her and grabbed the cup

from her, setting it

aside before starting to

rub Hail’s back in an

effort to make her feel

better. And just like

that, the concern went

down the drain. Red,

red, red was flashing in

my mind. If Seth hadn’t

been sending me subtle

Calm down signs, I

might have already

ripped half of Hail’s hair

out.

“Oh, I remember when

you used to do exactly

that to me,” I told

them.
