she did what?

tori's pov

"chloe what's up? you've been drawing a blank since last night." i said looking at her worriedly. she was just sitting on the bed with a vacant stare.

she turned to me. "nothing tori, don't worry about it." then she went back to staring at nothing. i plopped down right in front of her so she would have to look me in the eye. she sighed, blowing her bangs out of her face frustrated.

"derek." she said bluntly. i raised my eye

ows at her. "what about him?" that was all i had to ask before she launched into the whole story.

i gaped at her. "what. the. fluff." i said, in replace of cuss word. she shook her head vigorously. "that's what i first thought! like where the heck did this come from?" i stared at her, wondering if she knew that derek is obviously still in love with her.

personally i'm rooting for simon and chloe, but whoever she picks i'll support her. just what to do about derek? "i don't know that's why i told you!" chloe whisper screamed hysterically. huh, i guess i said that out loud.

"well does he really think he can just waltz into your life again like that? sure derek's been back in our lives, but i haven't really seen you guys really talk and now he's expressing his love to you? what the heck

ought this on?"

chloe just stared at me exasperatedly, grasping for words. "i have no idea, like really kendall was great, why is he all i love you now to me?! i don't know what to do! i got it! i'm just going to act like it didn't happen, that whole conversation. maybe derek will catch on, yeah good plan!" she said and without further argument left the room. well that went well.

dani's pov

"his sister's beautiful! he has his father's eyes, and if you asked me if i loved him, i'd lie!" i sang as loud as i could in the shower. don't judge, usually i don't listen to music like this, i'm more for music like sleeping with sirens and anarbor, but hey listening to taylor swift is like girl code.

plus, it's the shower; you just sing what comes on to you, so why not sing this. after using up all the hot water, just so i could annoy damien i emerged from the shower and got dressed. i was

ushing out my wet hair when there was a loud banging on the bathroom door.

"dani get the freak out here before we're late! it's like 6:30!" kendall yelled through the door. i snorted softly, she was such a freak. being late was one of her biggest pet peeves. i continued

ushing my hair, wiping the steam off the mirror.

"don't fret! we have like a whole hour and a half before school starts!" i said, hoping to calm her nerves. "but we'll be late." she said a slight whine in her voice.

yeah, she was really strict about this not being late thing that she resorts to whining. let me tell you, for someone who doesn't complain often, that girl can whine.

sighing i opened the door, only to see kendall was gone. "huh." i said to myself, wondering when she left. i continued to ponder about it when i saw a movement from the corner of my eye. "alex?"

he emerged from the corner, smiling slightly. "hey." i discreetly smoothed down my shirt, trying to look more presentable. "what are you doing hiding behind a corner?" i asked.

he shrugged, but i could tell something was bothering him. "nothing, i was just walking." i stared at him, trying to will an answer from him, but he wouldn't budge.

i stepped closer to him the smell of him, wilderness and boy, wafting into my nose. gah, he just smells so good. i craned my neck up, looking at him. "don't lie, m'kay?"

he smirked a little at that. "don't worry about it dani." he said and a couple moments later damien's booming voice interrupted our little stare down. "dangitt dani! did you use all the hot water again?!"

i gave him an innocent smile and turned back to alex only to find him already gone. what is with people just leaving out of thin air today? but most importantly what was wrong with alex?

alex's povokay, to start off i wasn't lurking, i just happened to be walking by the bathroom when i heard dani singing. i love to hear her sing, but she only did it when she thought she was alone, so i always listened in.

i'm not a creep okay? i just love to listen to her so walking by at that exact moment just seemed like fate. "never fall in love he swears as he runs his fingers through his hair and i'm laughing cause i hope he's wrong." her voice was melodic, but i couldn't help but wonder who she was singing about.

i listened a little longer until l heard a part that got me thinking. "i could tell you his favorite color's green! he loves to argue, born on the seventeenth. his sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes and if you asked me if i loved him, i'd lie."

jack had a sister and i remember dani told me she was a nutshell stuck in a bombshell. in other words she was really pretty. if she was talking about jack, does that mean she likes him? why do girls have to be so complicated?
