My mind went blank at her sudden confession and I found myself leaning in alongside her.
Our noses brushed against each other and my face slightly flushed at our closeness, but just as we were about to seal the deal, someone barged in.
"Hayley?"
The both of us slightly jumped and pulled away from each other. Mrs. Faux narrowed her eyes at me, "What are you doing here?"
I immediately stiffened at her accusing tone and I responded somewhat robotic, "I came to see Hayley ma'am."
She folded her wrinkled arms, "Why?"
Hayley rolled her eyes and got up, "That's none of your business Mom. Why are you here anyway?"
"Well, Xavier told me you were upset and throwing sharp scissors at him and everyone who entered the room." Mrs. Faux looked around at the floor that had scissors scattered all over it, "I see he wasn't lying."
