Farrah's POV

I had been ignoring Jackson all day, until he texted me if I could meet him downstairs. I was hesitant, because I know he wanted me to forgive him

No one should expect me to forgive the boy I've loved my whole life after he almost shattered my entire sense of self confidence in one night.

"Okay, I'm here. What?" I asked, standing in front of him, refusing to maintain eye contact

"Well, before I get started, would you like a beverage?" He asked

"I'm good. Just talk." I sighed, wanting to leave as soon as possible

"I could go for a passion fruit," Ramona started, before she got up from her seat as Jackson glared at her, "You know what? I'll just get it myself."

"Okay, Farrah. I'm really sorry I acted like a jerk at the prom. You don't deserve to be treated that way, and I shouldn't have subjected you like an object." Jackson started

I remained where I was sat, teaming quiet as I waited for him to continue his apology speech.

"You're not an object, and it was disgusting of me to say something like that. I was just trying to impress a bunch of losers, when the only person I really wanted to impress was you." He finished

"Thanks, Jackson." I nodded, quickly standing up from my seat so I could leave

"Well, I mean it." He said, attempting to continue the conversation

"I know you do. And I appreciate it." I repeated, really close to rushing out the door

"I missed you so much." Jackson smiled, coming in for a kiss

"Stop." I coldly laughed, putting my hand on his chest, "What you doing there, J?"

"Uh, badly misreading signals, I guess. I thought you forgave me. Right?" He asked

"Oh, I did...sorta. But after what you did the other night, it's impossible for me to trust you." I admitted

His smile dropped, and sadness quickly took hold over his feature, "Wait, wait. What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, that although I appreciate what you said, you lost my trust completely, and it's going to take time to earn back. Until then, I just want to be friends, if you could could even call it that, because I kind of hate you." I admitted, hurt that it had come to this, but standing by what I said

The fact that he thought I was going to take him back so easily, really irritated me. It's not like I'm going to let him talk down on my name, and then take him back the second he gets caught and tries to apologize.

"We're out of passion fruit. Anyone else want a pamplemousse?" Ramona asked, walking back in

She realized we were still talking, and quickly left.
