As i'm closing my textbooks I hear a soft knock on my door.

"Come in!" I shout

The door slowly opens and Angel appears looking at the floor.

"So, there's two things I need to tell you" Angel says "Are you busy right now?"

"Nope, I just finished what's up" I answer, putting away my textbooks

"Well one of them is more of a question, the other one an announcement" Angie says

"Announcement?" I ask

"I know you made me lie about Clay yesterday, I'm not stupid" Angel blurts, ignoring my question.

I really hope she's not mad at me. One time I lied about hooking up with a guy from out class and she took it very personal. Said she couldn't believe I didn't trust her and stuff like that.

"I know Jacob literally can't keep a secret for the life of him so I get why you lied" she says

"Fine, yes, he is the youtuber Jacob was ranting about" I confess "I didn't want to say anything because Clay mentioned how important his face reveal was"

"Oh please, I knew. He works with computers, didn't finish high school and drives that car?" Angie laughs "I mean it was either that or he was a drug dealer" she adds "After the hoodie I figured it was the youtube thing"

"You know when I saw his house thought the exact same thing at first" I say "That I was gonna walk inside and be greeted by a meth lab"

"I should watch some of his videos" she says drifting off

"Right... What was the announcement anyways?" I ask

"Oh, that" She looks at me "Clay is downstairs and he wants to talk with you" she calmly says

"Who's where?" I say shocked

What in the world is he even doing here, I swear to god if I see him I will punch his face in. After the other party he is the last person I want to see right now.

"Clay" Angel repeats "Downstairs? I thought I was pretty loud" she says

"Yeah I heard you the first time, who does he think he is, suddenly coming over I certainly don't want him anywh-"

"Oh hi there Clay" Angel interrupts me

I turn to look at the door. There he is, in all his glory. The six foot three green-eyed boy is standing there, looking straight at me.

"I thought I could stop by I really need to talk to you" Clay says while stepping into the room.

"What?" Angel suddenly shouts "You need me to go help you with schoolwork?" she says but nobody answers "Yeah don't worry I will be right there"

We both look at her in confusion and she says "Well, sorry guys, duty calls. Have fun though!" and she walks out the door.

"She could've just said she wanted to leave us alone" Clay laughs

I simply stand there, looking at him not really wanting to answer. He can't just walk in here and expect me to be all friendly.

Silence falls upon us, we stand there just looking at each other. But when Clay tries to walk closer to me, I take a step back

"Listen, I came here to apologize" he begins

"Please Clay, save it for someone who actually cares" I stop him

"You went MIA for almost a month and then you come back trying to apologize when I'm trying to get with someone else" I say

"I'm not trying to apologize because I saw you with Adam, Charlotte" he takes a step closer "I literally just want to say i'm sorry, that's it"

"If you want to have a thing with Adam, do so, be my guest" he says "But the two days we spent together were such a relief from everything going on with twitter and youtube and social media as a whole"

"Well, clearly you didn't like it enough to want to keep on hanging out with me" I say still kind of hurt.

Honestly, I am still kind of mad at him, but I like the fact that he came all the way here to my house and is very insistent on not letting our friendship die.

"I know, I'm so sorry for that, I the least I could do was give you some time of explanation" he begins "And I realized that a little too late, so this is my attempt to fix things"

I take a long look at him. I look at his face trying to read his emotions. He did look very apologetic, so fuck it.

"Fine, but if you really want us to work" I motion between us "You need to try and not ghost me"

"I swear I won't" he says "Come here" And he walks towards me, embracing me in a hug. At first I'm quite startled to say the least, I didn't expect it, but after a few seconds I reciprocated it, and we stayed like that for a couple of minutes, just holding each other.

Clay is the first one to break the hug, but he doesn't move away. We remain very close and his eyes turn towards my lips, I can see him moving closer.

But then my phone rings.

Clay abruptly moves backwards and starts blinking very fast, as if he was under some spell that suddenly broke.

"I, uhh need to get that wait a second" I tell him and he nods

When I get my phone I see Adam was the one calling me.

"Hey Adam how are you" when I say his name, a look of guilt flashes in Clay's face.

"Hey cutie, just wanted to check on you since you said you had a lot of assignments"

"Yeah I'm fine, it's all done I think" I answer

"Sure? I could help if you want, just let me know"

"Yeah I'll text you" I answer "See you tomorrow, bye" I say, hanging up the phone before he could reply.

"George and Nick say they miss you" Clay suddenly speaks

"They do?" I ask, trying to hide my smile

"Yeah they wouldn't stop asking about you" Clay begins "They say how much I fucked up by ghosting you" he stops for a second, as if he was deliberating if he should continue "And I know I did, all because I couldn't pay enough attention to my phone"

"Clay..." I begin

"No I know, don't worry" he says "We are friends, that's it" he then gets closer to me and places a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I really need to leave now, we are filming something for George's channel and they will yell at me if i'm late" Clay says walking towards the door "I just wanted to come here and clear things up with you"

"Oh yeah it's fine, I'm glad you did" I say "It was getting really hard to constantly hate you when literally everyone around me was watching your videos" I laugh

"I mean, they are pretty interesting, I don't blame them" he says with a smug look on his face.

"Oh please" I say lightly pushing him

"Wait you haven't watched any of them?" he says

"Uhh no?" I say confused

"Why?" he says

"What do you mean by 'why', I don't play minecraft why would I watch them"

"Because I'm funny as fuck...?" he answers

"Self-centered much" I say

"Yeah, say that after you watch a couple of our videos and don't get obsessed with us"

"Bet I can watch every single one of them and don't laugh once" I confidently say

The thing is, I know I will laugh, I just don't want him to get what he wants

"I have to be there, just so I know you aren't cheating" Clay says

"Fine, but just so that you see firsthand how unfunny you are" I laugh

"Wait what if you come over now and watch us record, we can add you to-" but he stops

"Am I being too intense?" he says

"No, not at all" I laugh "And yes, I want to go, I miss them"

"And not me?" Clay says, acting as if he was actually hurt

"Well, they were the only ones who actually cared about me" I say

"Then why are they not here right now huh?" he says, but when I'm about to answer he speaks up "And don't be a smart-ass and say that they live far away, because I am aware of that"

"Fine you got me there, I did kind of miss you" I say, and he laughs

"Knew it"

"Anyways, could you grab a hoodie from my closet, I need to get my bag and keys" I ask and he nods

"So how long do you usually take to record these videos?" I say

"Well it depends, if it's one of my manhunts I take like 3 hours, but this one will probably take less because we coded the game so that-" he abruptly stops

"So that what" I ask, while I keep on grabbing stuff from my desk and putting it away in my bag

"You kept it?" he says

When I turn I see him holding the hoodie he had gifted me a couple of weeks ago. I nod.

"Did you like... wear it?"

"Yes... is that weird?" I say "It's very comfy"

"It would've been weirder if you didn't wear it since it's a hoodie after all" he says and we both laugh "I have a bunch of these I can give you some I don't really wear them"

"It's fine don't worry" I say "Ready to go?"

He finally grabs the smiley face hoodie and walks out the door and into the hallway.

When we were walking down the stairs, we ran into Angel and Jacob.

"Awww I'm glad you two could work things out, I was about to knock and check that Charlotte didn't murder you" Angel laughs

"Is this Clay?" Jacob butts in

I see that Clay is about to answer but I cut him off.

"No, this is Marcus" I say earning a weird look from Clay, and I nudge his side

"Right, Marcus, pleasure to meet you man" Clay plays along

"Jacob" the other boy answers

"We would stay and chat for a bit but Marcus here has something of upmost importance to do, so catch y'all later bye" I quickly dismiss them and grab Clay by the hand, dragging him to the front door

"Marcus?" he says almost laughing

"Believe me, you don't wanna know" I say.
