(Y/n) P.o.V:

After school Jake and I met at the parking lot and he drove us to Pinkberry's. We entered the shop and I enjoyed the smell of yoghurt, chocolate and other yummy stuff. I missed to eat. We took a seat and started chatting a bit. "God, I hate Mrs. Fleming. Her classes suck.", Jake fussed. He continued complaining about his math-teacher, which made me smile. 

I mean I, a greasy little nobody, am sitting with Jake Dillinger in a Froyostore. Incredible,how fast your life can change. "Are you listening? You seem like you're in your own world.", Jake asked amused. I chuckled. "Sorry.. I was just.. thinking a bit.", I laughed. "Tell me.", he said and propped his head on his hands. He gave me a childish look.

"Let's get some Froyo!", I chuckled and stood up. "First you tell me what you were thinking about." I sighed and sat down. "Well... it's just amazing, that a girl like me get's to hang out with a popular guy like you.", I said. He shrugged and sighed. "First. I really enjoy hanging with you, so don't say "A girl like me".  And second. I am really tired of playing the confident, cool boy who can get every girl." 

"But you can get every girl.", I said and smiled. "Maybe but they don't like me. They like the Jake everyones talking about. But that's not really me. It's just an act.. but with you I can really.. be me. Gosh.. that was really cheesy.. I'm sorry." He scratched the backside of his head and was slightly ashamed. "No..No. Don't be. I like the real Jake Dillinger. He's a nice guy.", I said. We both started laughing. 

"Now let's get some Froyo.", he said and we made our way to the yogurt machines. After I filled my cup with (favourite flavor) and topped it up with (favourite toppings) we sat down and started some small talk. I found out he has a thing for Christine Canigula. She's in my history class. It was really fun. 

I wanted to say something but someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and starred into his face. Rich. I frozed. "Hey.. uhm.. can we.. like talk?", he asked. Where is his confidence? He cleared his throat. 

"No she cannot.", Jake said angrily. "It's okay Jake.. What do you want?", I asked. "Can we talk? Alone?", He said and looked at Jake. "I don't know if this is a good idea I-" "Please..", he cut me off and gave me his best puppy-look. "Okay.", I sighed. "I am here, if you need me.", Jake said and Rich pulled me outside. 

I leaned against the wall and said, "You wanted to talk. Now talk." "Look. I am so sorry. I know what I did was wrong. But I did it cause my Squip told me to. You remember my breakdown a few weeks ago?", he asked. I chuckled. "How could I forget the day you broke me?", I asked slightly amused about his stupidness. He sighed. "I am sorry. But as I said. Everything is because of a pill. It's called a Squip and it makes you cool or intelligente and it's programmed to improve your life. It told me to behave like a dumbass. He said you would like it. " 

"Well.. it was wrong. And also I don't believe you..", I said and wanted to get back to Jake. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.  He pressed me against his chest. I rested my hands at his shoulders. I could feel his heartbeat. He rested one hand on my hip, the other still slung around my wrist. This position made me feel comfortable. I began to breathe faster. 

I starred into his eyes. 

Back then in second grade of middle school I used to call them "Ocean Eyes". Not because they are blue. They are chesnut brown. But I drowned in them.. just like you would drown in an ocean. That's one of the things I loved the most about him. His passionated eyes. I could tell if he's feeling good or if he has problems, just because of the expression of his eyes. 

Rich gave me a serious look and said, "Would I ever lie to you? I know I've hurted you. But I never ever lied to you. So why would I do it now?" Damn, he's right. In all my life...he never lied to me. "Okay... I believe you... But why did you take that stupid pill?", I asked. I could feel his minty breath against my lips. I shivered a bit. 

"I made some terrible mistakes in my life. But the worst was to give up our friendship... I wanted to be cool... I thought the Squip would help me. But being cool without you in my life isn't worth it. I am truly sorry Y/n.. And I know you won't forgive me, and I won't blame you, but I would love to be your friend again. ", he apologized. I gulped. 

I still starred into his eyes and as always I drowned in them. "I...I...", was all I said. My eyes started to fill with tears. 

I miss him. I miss all his jokes and all the nights we stayed because I was scared of nightmares. I miss our childish pillowfights and attempts of baking the perfect cake. I miss his hugs. And I miss his ocean eyes.

"I missed you.", I said and pulled him into a hug. I let the tears stream down my cheeks and sobbed. He wrapped his arms around my waist and burried his face in my neck bow. He let out a reliefed sigh and mumbled into my shirt, "I missed you too." 

After a felt eternity we parted and smiled. He led his hand to my cheek and with his thumb he wiped away my tears. I sobbed again, but smiled. Then he did something, which should made me feel good again...

He stroked some hair behind my ear. 

I shrugged. He looked confused. "Brooke...", I quietly said. He gulped. "There's nothing between me and Brooke. I swear. What I did today just served to make .. uh.. a girl jealous. I don't feel anything for her.", he explained. 

A girl. 

I felt pain in my chest but tried to hide it. But I couldn't hide anything from Rich.. He knew me too well. "What's wrong?", he asked confused and full of fear of doing something wrong. 

"Nothing... it's just.. you like a girl. Who?", I asked trying not to sound hurt. He smiled mysteriously. "You'll find out soon enough."

I nodded, still confused. "We should head back to Jake.", I said. "He hates me.", Rich answered. "He hated you because you were treating me like shit.", I said.  

He nodded. "I was a real dick."

"Yes.", I answered and chuckled. 

We made our way to Jake who eyed Rich. "I saw you guys hugging. Are you friends again?", he asked. I nodded. "Look Bro.. I am sorry for being such an asshole. Can you forgive me?", Rich asked. Jake smirked. Oh no. Smirking always means something bad.

"If you do me a favour..", Jake said. 

"What favour?", Rich and I asked. 

"You'll find out soon enough.", Jake replied and smirked. 

WHY IS EVERYONE SO MYSTERIOUS!?

"What now?", I asked. Jake smiled and asked, "Movie night at my house?" Rich and I nodded hapilly and we went to the car. By now everything was fine.
