Friends with Benefits

chapter 39-back to reality

(Hayley p.o.v)
I woke up with the sound of my alarm,I had already left Justin's house yesterday,telling him I would be fine that I needed to do homework that was due for submission today knowing fully well that I really just wanted to clear my hide since the new information I found about myself,he however hesitantly let me go,I have been avoiding him since then.

Ughhhhh I groaned as I shut the stupid alarm up,I got up from bed and dashed to the bathroom,after some minutes I was done,I picked out my clothes for today,black crop top and a skaters skirt with white converse,I put my hair into a messy bun and applied a touch of mascara and lipgloss so I don't look like someone who had just been through a breakup ..

Its been two days since I broke up with Jake and definitely still hurts but I wasn't going to let it deprive me of life,I wasn't one of those girls to sulk for two weeks, i mean literarily just staying in their room and crying their eyes out,sure I did sulk and cry but not too much of it.
Today I was going to see Temi Jake and Justin,I didn't know how to feel about this, how it would be, would the group still be okay,I mean ,ughhh,I really don't know..

..…....................................................
I got to school,and classes passed like a blur until the dreaded lunch time came.
I got up from my now ended chemistry class as I walked to the cafeteria,I got in line,orderd my food and was about to sneak out when susy called out to me .shit.
I walked to our usual table where everyone was present,and by everyone I mean everyone,the whole group,des,Annie,Jake,Temi,Justin,Blake and Susy.
I reached the table and Justin schooched over for me,I sat down dropping my food on the table and just then Justin wrapped his hand around my waist, that made goosebumps come all over me,it was like I was shook with electricity.

Hey,he said into my ears ,his voice cool yet alluring,he then pecked my cheeks and I blushed..I mean how could I not, just looking at him makes all the memories of two days ago come flooding back, if someone had told me that today I would have feelings for my bestfriend,I would have probably knocked their tooth out but here I was blushing like an idiot for a peck..

H hi I stuttered. God am so fucked.

Susy and Anne gave me a look but I just looked away, I wasn't ready to talk to anyone about my feelings for Justin just yet.

Hayley Temi called.
I looked at her and gave her a one sided smile..don't blame me,am trying so hard not to see her in the position of the bedroom incident with Jake but its hard.

Hi,what's up?

Nothing much,just here.

Okayyy,good, I dragged.

I began eating my food when anne spoke out

This is fucking shit,I can't believe this is happening to our group right now..can we just try and get past this guys,its fucking unbearable.

Am trying Anne believe me,I said looking at her.

That's when Jake finally decided to speak up.

Hayley,uh,thanks for the surprise birthday...even though I ruined it,still,thanks.

Awkwardddddddd.

Sure,it's the least I could do for a friend. I was sure to drag the friend very well.

He looked down and just picked up his burito on his lunch plate.

Silence,no body said anything,we just ate in silence,it was very uncomfortable. I needed to leave this place,atleast I tried for today.
