Me and you

Toby Burch

I heard Conor come into the apartment.
"Girl what the fuck happened earlier?" He asked me
"I gave him back his money," I simply stated, not wanting to go any further into it
"Why did you have his money in the first place?"
"I was working, he came in, I had to do a private for him, he paid me," I explained, leaving out the detail about him driving me home
"So why did you flip out at him?" Conor asked again, exasperated. I don't think he was too happy I embarrassed the biggest artist he's worked with so far; especially since this was Conor's first time producing an album
"Because he told all his friends!"
"Okay but did you actually tell him not to tell anyone?"
"... No," I admitted
Conor rolled his eyes "Then you have no reason to be pissed at him. Here, this is the hairband you tied the money up with. He figured you might want it back," Conor handed me the black hair band and I put it on my wrist
"Tell him I say thank you," I said. I found it kind of weird that he thought about giving me the hairband back, but a nice gesture
"Tell him yourself. You are coming to the studio after your lecture tomorrow," Conor insisted
Strangely enough, I actually wanted to "Sure. My class finishes at 10, so I'll probably be there at 10:3o,"
"Really?" He was surprised "That was a lot easier than I thought,"

It was the next morning, and I was getting ready for my lecture. Since I knew I was going to the studio after, I wanted to put more effort into what I was wearing, instead of leggings and a T-shirt like always. In the end, I settled on wearing a white cropped jumper with some checkered cigarette trousers.
"Ugh, why do you have to look good on the one day I look like an actual pile of shit?" Conor complained as we walked down the stairs of our building together
"Are you joking? You always look great," I told him. Today he was wearing a striped button up shirt and skinny jeans with a pair of old skool vans.
"Okay but honestly what was I thinking when I bought this? It looks like it's from the urban outfitters reject pile!" He complained
"You are such a little drama queen. Look I need to go but I'll see you later,"

My lecture had just finished, and I was heading off campus when I heard someone shouting my name behind me. Naturally, I glanced over my shoulder and saw Toby Burch. My cheating, ex-boyfriend, Toby Burch. He ran up to me
"Devon! Listen, do you have a minute?" He said, slightly out of breath
"Uh, yeah. But literally a minute because I have to be somewhere,"
"I just wanted to say that I was really sorry for cheating. It was shitty of me to do and you didn't deserve that,"
I didn't know what to do "O-okay," I said in disbelief
"Do you forgive me?"
"Um, uh, yeah? Sure," I was still stunned
"Thank you so much! I love you!" He exclaimed before kissing me quickly. I went from confused to what in the world is going on "I need to run, I have a lecture but I'll see you around. You're the best girlfriend!"
Oh. He thought I was his girlfriend again. Interesting. I didn't realise that was going to happen. Fuck. "Wait, Toby!" I shouted, but he was already gone. Right. Well. That was going to be a very awkward conversation to have with him later.

It was 10:40 when I pulled up, a little later than I'd expected but of course I had that chat with Toby. When I walked into the reception, Machine Gun Kelly was waiting there. He jumped up when he saw me.
"Hey!"
"Hi. How long have you been there?" I asked him
"Since half ten. We're in a different room today, so I figured I'd take you there,"
"Oh, thanks," What the hell had happened to all the boys today? "Also what the fuck do I call you because saying machine gun kelly is too long,"
"You can call me Kells,"
"Okay but what's your actual name?"
"You'll find out one day. So, how was your class? You're studying nursing, right?"
"Uh, yeah. How did you know?"
"You told me when I drove you home," he said, evidently very pleased he remembered what I'd told him
"My class was good, thanks. Some weird shit happened after it though," I told him
"What happened? Oh this is the room by the way," He said, leading me into a room almost identical to the one he recorded in the other day.
"These rooms are all the same to me," I told him.
He laughed before walking towards the booth
"I gotta record that song again, because someone interrupted me yesterday," He joked. I smiled and sat down at the table with all the different buttons and shit with Conor and James.
"Conor you will never guess what happened to me after class today,"
"What?" He asked me, barely paying attention
"Toby seems to think we are dating again," Conor almost choked on his drink "What. The. Actual. Fuck?"
"But I'm telling him we're not. In fact I'll call him right now," I said
"Wait explain!" Conor cried
"Basically he apologised I said it was okay and he thought I was his girlfriend again. I'll give you full details later," I told him before getting my phone out.

"Devon are you on the fucking phone right now?" Kells asked me
"Um yeah, should I go outside?" I asked him. It was still ringing.
Kells walked out of the booth and took my phone straight out of my hand; just as Toby picked up "Hello? I'm Kells, the fuck are you? Toby? Who the hell is Toby?" He asked me
"Give that to me!" I hissed, before snatching it out of his hand "Toby? Hey it's me. Yeah that was just some guy I know," I explained as I left the room
"Oh okay," Toby replied down the phone
"Listen, um, when I said that I forgave you, I didn't mean we were dating again. I'm sorry, and I still really want us to be friends but I just think that ship has sailed," I explained, feeling worse and worse about myself with every word I said
"Okay, that's cool. See you around," he said nonchalantly before hanging up the phone. I was kind of confused. A lot of things are confusing me these days.
