did you say something?

“  god..  you’re  so  confusing  !  one  minute  you  want  to  hang  out  with  me,  another  and  you’re  pushing  me  away.  just  because  you’re  scared  of  my  brother  doesn’t  mea-  “  and  she’s  cut  off  by  the  abrupt  action.  oh.  it  stuns  her.  one  minute  they’re  arguing,  another  moment  and  his  mouth  is  on  hers.  her  pale  cheeks  can’t  help  but  fluster  into  a  slightly  darker  shade,  her  lids  falling  shut  as  she  sinks  in  the  moment  that  had  caught  her  off  guard,  but  caused  her  heart  to  rapidly  beat  faster.  he  pulls  away  and  sunny  almost  follows  his  lips,  desperate  to  hold  on  to  the  moment.  eyes  flicker  open  to  stare  up  at  him,  and  her  lips  can’t  help  but  tighten  into  a  satisfied  small  smile.  “  i  knew  you  liked  me  too. “

he couldn’t take it anymore. ever since eric had found out about sunny’s date with colin and the possibility of her genuinely liking the guy, their bickering was never-ending. he’d bump into sunny ( which was often since the popwell’s had become a second home ) and instantly be irritated as he was reminded of sunny and colin. now was no different... except that eric had kissed her. god, he’d been wanting to do that for ages. he pulls himself away from her, and for a split second he doesn’t think about the many ways zac would kill him if he found out. “of course i fucking like you.” eric grumbles, eyes rolling at the sight of her cheeky grin. it was cute, adorable even. “zac can’t know about this.”

“  um,  what  ?  “  she  asks,  eyes  lifting  from  her  textbook  and  towards  eric  stood  by  her  door.  of  course  she  had  heard  about  the  party  tonight,  it  was  all  zac  talked  about.  until  he  caught  the  flu.  that  didn’t  stop  him  from  wanting  to  go,  but  what  grandma  said,  goes.  for  sunny  ?  not  really  sunny’s  thing.  so,  head  can’t  help  but  tilt  in  curiosity.    “  zac   can’t  go,  so  i  wasn’t…  really  planning  on  going  either  “   a  pause,  and  sunny  has  to  resist  the  dumb  smile  that’s  itching  to  appear  on  her  features..  because  he  had  invited  her.  “  wouldn’t  you  wanna  take  someone  else  ?  “

“you heard me,” eric confirms. he straightens out his leather jacket and checks his phone for the time. he wasn’t the type of person concerned by tardiness, but he’d be damned if he missed out on all the quality beverages. “okay, well, change of plans. i’m giving you five minutes to throw something on and then to meet me outside.” he instructs. at sunny’s question, he sighs. of course eric wanted to take her, it was why he asked, wasn’t it? but he was getting impatient and he couldn’t be bothered to entertain the question. “are you coming with me or not?”

his insistence on always disagreeing with her had begun to make her blood boil, but she remains quiet, contemplating over her words. “i think you just like to fight,” she decided, arms folding over her chest as she leans back, further from him. “i was thinking more of a quarter, but a pretty quarter, like georgia’s quarter. and i get to be the prettyt side of the quarter,”

“fighting? who’s fighting? not me.” eric muses, his brows raising slightly. he sensed he was beginning to annoy the girl, and he bites back a smile. call him twisted, but annoying auggie was extremely entertaining. “a quarter works. i’ve always wanted to push you into a vending machine in exchange for some snacks.”

“this is miserable,” she decides, nose scrunching at his comment, “stop complaining, and just deal with it. i’m hoping that the more we look like a couple, the less we’ll have to come here.”

eyes rolling at her response, eric ‘just deals with it’. he’s familiar with her now that he’s learned to choose his battles. besides, auggie had a point. their parents were high-class meddlers and the two would have to be stupid to not realize why their seats were not reserved with their respective families. eric not shaking her off had nothing to do with the fact that he secretly enjoyed it. nope. “right. because as soon as we start looking like a couple, they’ll just let us run off and out of their sight, as if they aren’t obsessed with the idea of seeing us together.” he says dryly.
