"But Sophie. She is- was my best friend," she said, removing his hands from her waist.

"So she should understand."

"You don't understand," she pointed out.

"Okay, explain."

"She's in love with you," she said, the words tasting like acid on her tongue.

"And you know who I'm in love with," he said, trying to take her hand in his.

"Did you ever like her?" she asked. It has been on her mind since the day she and Sophie went to the mall. She knew Sophie had feelings for him but did he ever feel the same way for her? Even for just a second?

"What? Where did that come from?" he asked incredulously.

"I mean, you guys are so close," she pointed out.

"I'm close to her because she's close to you. I can ask about you at any point."

"Why did you move classes then?" She remembered Sophie said he moved so that he would be with her.
