I can only hear the rain hitting the car windows.

I can only see Ivy's nervous expression.

I can only feel my racing heart.

My mind flashes back to the day after we kissed.

I was excited, giddy even, while I was walking through the hallway.

And then I saw her hugging Liam.

They looked... smug.

And then he asked her to come over to his house, and when she agreed, I couldn't help but feel like an idiot.

"I thought you were playing some sort of game, and when you agreed to go to the Halloween party with him too..."

"Shhh." Ivy covers my mouth, half-smiling.

Why's she smiling?

"Were you jealous?" she asks, purposely using a condescending tone.

I grab her hair, and cock her head back.

"Don't be a brat, Ivy."
