I get home after a long and boring day at school, finally, I can get some rest and not have to worry about school work.

"How was school sweetie?" My mom greets me.

"It was boring like any other day." I take my book bag off throwing it onto the couch.

"You should be happy that in a few months you're gonna be done with school."

"I am happy about that."

"Where's Callum?"

"He met up with a couple of friends, said he'll be home later."

"Okay, well are you hungry? Want me to make you something?"

"No thanks, I'm just gonna go do some homework and I'll wait till dinner." I stood and grabbed my bag.

"Okay, sweetie."

I walk upstairs and into my room, I close the door behind me then throws my bag onto my bed and I sit down.

I dig into my backpack pulling my books out then I start my homework.

It's about a half-hour later, I'm watching some TV while still working on my homework, I was finally almost done.

"Jasmine." Ash knocks on my door.

"Come in."

He opens the door and walks inside "Hey."

"Hey." I smile.

"What you up to?" He walked over and sat down on my bed.

"Just catching up on some homework and schoolwork." I set my books aside.

"Well I don't wanna bother you but I just wanted to know if you'd want to come with me and grab something to eat, just so we can catch up some more."

"I'd love to, I should be done with everything in a few minutes so give me like ten?"

"Okay." He stands with a smile "I'll be waiting downstairs." He leaves the room.

I grab my books and I begin finishing up on my work.

***********************

"Okay, I'm ready." I walk downstairs where Ash was waiting for me, I grab my mom's car keys "I'll drive."

"Okay." We both leave the house, we get into my mom's car then I drive off.

"It's this nice restaurant 15 minutes away, they have the best pizza and sandwiches."

"Okay."

"So, how are you?" I try to start up a conversation, things between us were still weird and I could tell he felt uncomfortable.

"I'm fine, how are you?"

"I'm good."

"It's been a while since we've both hung out, just me and you alone." He chuckles.

"Yeah, you only have two days left here and I wanna spend every last moment with you, you know I love you."

"I love you too." He smiles "Might love you in another way but still." He jokes.

"Shut up." I laugh.

"I just got one question, I know it's none of my business either but I just have to know, do you love him?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

"I just want to."

"Well I don't know, I might."

"Oh." He frowns "What do you love about him?"

"He just makes me feel comfortable, he's sweet, he's kind, he makes me laugh, he -"

"What's his last name?" He interrupts.

"It's - It's -"

Fuck, I didn't even know his last name. No matter how long I've been living with him and I still don't know his last name.

"Exactly, you probably just think you're falling for him."

"Ash, why does it matter? Please don't start your shit again."

"I'm not starting anything, I just wanted to help you realize that this is probably just lust between you two, not love."

"If you're gonna keep talking about me and him then we don't have to go nowhere, I didn't agree to go out with you so you could talk about me and Callum." I was getting pissed off, I already told him I don't feel that way about him and he's still trying to get me to change my mind about Callum.

"You're right, I'm sorry, Forget that I brought him up."

"Thank you."

The rest of our time in the car he didn't say a peep, I arrived at the restaurant and parked the car.

We both step out of the car and we walk inside, we find us a nice small booth and takes a seat.

"What would you recommend?" Ash asks.

"The chicken bacon ranch sandwich is so good."

"Okay, I'll have that then"

Someone walks over to us "Hello, what can I get you both?"

"We're both gonna go with the chicken bacon ranch sandwich with bacon cheese fries, and a chocolate shake please," I answer.

"Okay, coming right up." He walks off.

We chat a bit while we wait for our food then it finally arrives "Thank you." We both say and we begin eating.

"So, how's everything back at home for you?" I take a bite out of my sandwich.

"Everything is okay, I've been applying to different colleges and getting ready for prom, don't really know if I wanna go anymore."

"Why not?"

"If I do go there's no one to go with, I was hoping me and you could go together but you moved."

"Oh, well that doesn't mean you still can't go, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of girls who would love to go with you."

"Yeah but none of them are you." He clears his throat "Anyways, As for college I was thinking of applying to a couple, one of them is Harvard."

"Oh wow, that's great." I sip my drink "Well I really hope that they accept you, you deserve it."

"Thank you, so are you still changing your mind about college?"

"I don't know, I haven't made up my mind on whether I'm going or not, I guess I'll make the final choice when it's near that time."

"Well, I hope in the end you make the better decision which is going to college, just take some time to think about that."

"I will."

The rest of the time we just finish our meals and chat it up about some things.

***********************

Me and Ash arrive home, we walk inside, and just as we do I see Claire walking down the stairs with Callum right behind him.

"Oh hey, Jasmine." She smiles.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Just had to talk with Callum, I'm getting ready to head out now but I'll text you." She hugs me.

"Okay, see you later." She leaves the house and I close and locks the door.

"You both had a good time?" Callum asks.

"Yeah we did, did you both have a good time is the real question."

"What do you mean?"

"What were you both doing upstairs?" I pull my jacket off.

"We were talking obviously, she wanted to come -"

"You both don't need to be upstairs in the room just to talk, that's all I'm saying." I remove my sweater hanging it up.

"Jasmine don't start, I told you all we did was talk."

"If you both need to talk why don't you take it upstairs?" Ash says.

"Listen, dude, don't say shit to me because I know the type of dude you are and I know how you feel towards this woman, you got real disrespectful knowing me and her have something going on, I don't wanna hear nothing else about you telling her that you love her or tryna kiss up on her" Callum gets heated quick, I was so confused because earlier he wasn't acting like this, this is all out of the blue.

"I don't know you like that man but don't disrespect me, you've been in her life for a few weeks, I've been there for her years."

"That shit don't mean nothing to me!" Callum yells "You're only gonna be the best friend so stop thinking there will ever be anything more."

"Both of you guys need to calm down, it's not that serious to be arguing over." I stand between them both.

"He came at me crazy first." Ash laughs "It's a joke to me."

"Well it's not a joke to me when you tell someone that I'm feeling you're in love with her, and then you even took it a step further and decided to kiss her?"

"I did it because I wanted to." Ash smiles.

"When I beat you up then it's gonna be because I wanted to, keep smiling in my face." Callum takes a step towards Ash.

"Nigga, we can catch a fade right now." Ash unzips his sweater taking it off.

"What you wanna do?" Callum tries to reach past me and swing at Ash.

"Stop it, Both of you!" I yell and pushed Callum back "Callum go cool off." Callum angrily walked off upstairs.

"I'll be right back." I sigh and walked upstairs and down the hall to Callum's room, I open the door and walked inside.

"Callum, what is wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong with me."

"It doesn't seem like it, you just went off of Ash for no reason, he didn't do anything wrong."

He laughs "He didn't do anything wrong?"

"Not anything serious for you to attack him over, and I don't give a fuck what he did don't you ever disrespect him like that again!" I yell.

"So you're on his side?"

"There aren't any sides here, All I know is you need to calm down."

"I'm trying my best." He sits down "I'm still angry about the fact that he kissed you, I know me and you aren't in a relationship but I'm pretty sure you told him what we had going on so I felt like that was disrespectful."

"I know how you feel but don't try and fight my best friend, Learn how to talk it out."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me, you need to apologize to Ash."

"I will, just not right now." He lays back on the bed and kicks his feet up "I just need some time to think about stuff."

"No, me and you still need to talk about things." I walk over and sits down next to him.

"About?"

"What did Claire want?"

"She just wanted to talk about what went wrong with us, I told her that I'm interested in someone else but of course, I didn't say your name, I don't exactly know how to tell her that."

"Yeah, me either." I sigh "She thinks of me as a friend and she didn't have to be so nice and kind to me but she was, so it's just gonna be hard to let her know what's been going on between us both."

"She's not gonna be happy about this."

"When do you think we should tell her?"

"I don't know, but the sooner we tell her then the sooner we could move past it."

"No need to." The door swings open and Claire walks inside "I heard everything."

Oh fuck.
