My heart skips a beat. I pretend the strange feeling in my stomach is nausea.

Hailey

No.

Unknown

You’re funny.

Hailey

Why are you texting me so late?

Unknown

I can’t sleep.

Hailey

And that’s my problem?

He doesn’t reply right away, and now I feel like shit. I’m being mean. Probably because I’m still pissed at him for trying to make me jealous. I might have made him think I wasn’t paying attention to him, but I knew what he was doing. I could feel his eyes on me while he was letting her touch him, rubbing it in my face like I care or some shit.

I don’t care.

Except that I do care, and that’s the part that pisses me off the most.

Unknown

Why are you such a bitch to me?

Hailey

Were you with Madison tonight?

As soon as I hit send, I curse under my breath and cover my eyes with my forearm.

Oh my God, you idiot.

I can just imagine the smirk on his face.

Unknown

No.

You were paying attention.

Hailey

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Unknown

Liar.

You were jealous.

Hailey
