hallway, he grabs my hand and links our fingers together. I look up at him, and he stares straight ahead and leads us to the parking lot, directly to his car. He opens the passenger door for me to get in and then he heads to the driver’s side. Once he's in the car, he turns and looks at me. "What is it? I don't like when you're not happy."  
    I turn away because I can't look into his eyes. It hurts. I still feel the connection with him, but I can't have him. He slips his finger under my chin and turns my face. I'm hit with the most intense eyes I've ever seen. Blue eyes that almost looks gray, even more so now. It looks like a storm is brewing in his eyes. He is breathtakingly stunning , that is the simplest way I can describe him. He has a perfectly defined jaw line. And the most tempting mouth I've ever seen on the opposite sex. He is like a Greek god. Although, it’s not his appearance but something good and pure deep within him that pulls me toward him. Even though I shouldn't be anywhere near him .  
    "Your girlfriend wants to have sex with you." I say petulantly as I hang my head down so I don’t meet his eyes.  
    "I see.”  
    I whisper, "I don't know how I feel about that Sky. I shouldn't feel anything because you both are my friends."  
    "I know, but you know it's not what I want Ari."  
    "I know." I look back out the window. "Colin heard her talking about it. Now he has this crazy idea in his head that I'm going to sleep with him too."  
    He shouts, "Over my dead body Ari! … I'm trying here, I am, but you know better than I do that you should have chosen me. This isn't fair to either of us. We belong together."  
    "It's too late. Live with it Sky."  
    "Are you going to sleep with him?" He murmurs.  
    I look out the window and see a few students laughing. I imagine what it must be like to be them. "I don't love him. But I don't know if I won't."  
    "I'm in love." I feel my heart shred and a tear slips out of my eye.  
    "Okay."  
    "Okay? Just okay?" He murmurs.  
    "Yeah. What else am I going to say? She's your girlfriend; you are supposed to love her. I can't be mad. I'm not supposed to be." I say defeated.  
    "Yeah it would have been nice if I was in love with my girlfriend, but I'm not." He croons.  
    I whip my head around so fast I get whiplash and I stare at Skylar's face.  
    "Don't." I say in a sharp tone. But I’m angry with myself, not him.  
    "I can't help it, Ari."  
    "Please don't Sky. Don't say it, please." I say crying.  
    "I won't say it to you now because you’re not ready. But I will one day."  
    Inhaling a deep breath I whisper, "Thank you."  
    "Yeah, it's no problem. You know I'd do anything for you Ari."  
    "Yeah. That's why you are such an awesome friend." He flinches at the word friend.  
    "Yeah, I am." He says with a sad smile. "Let's go get you an ice cream. I think you deserve it."  
    I laugh. "You are the best. You know that?" I kiss his cheek and he smiles at me.  
    He looks at me and whispers "You are so worth it Ari."  
    I don't think I was meant to hear it, so I don't acknowledge it.

    "I would like a double fudge sundae please, with lots of whip cream." I smile at the waitress as she leaves. I turn back around to see Skylar laughing at me.  
    "What? I would like to get chocolate-wasted. I deserve it after the year I had." I say with a pout.  
    He laughs and shakes his head. "Well, if you don't get chocolate-wasted with that, I don't know what will."  
    "Thanks, smart ass."  
    "Anytime, doll face." He says with a smirk.  
    "Really? Doll face? Is that the best you can do?"  
    He makes a face. "What's wrong with doll face?"  
    I roll my eyes at him.  
    "You know if you don't stop rolling your eyes at me it's going to stay like that." He deadpans.  
    "Whatever, you would still totally love me with crossed eyes, so hush."  
    "Yeah, I would." I swallow and as I'm about to make a joke of what he said, his phone rings.  
    "Hey, babe ... Yeah, I'm
