Chapter fifteen || Katie’s POV

'She came up to me in class and was like 'you're like really pretty' and wouldn't leave me alone,' I nod at her crossing my legs on the living room couch trying to ignore the boys who are cooking in the kitchen.

It's one am and I could never have the energy to actually cook something. But knowing them they'll most likely burn it anyways.

'That's so weird...' Brylan looks at me pulling her knees up and resting her chin on them. It's her signature sitting position, she does it all the time.

'She was trying to be my 'friend' and all that but I'm almost certain she's pulling a front since she accidentally asked about Colton.' I shake my head as Brylan pulls a face.

'Why Colton...you guys don't even talk?' She blinks at me lost.

That's not initially true anymore. We've done a little bit more than talking, but I don't really count it since it's most likely just a stunt to annoy Damon. He's just using me to fuck with him nothing more really.

'Who doesn't talk?' Colton looks up from the kitchen most likely hearing his name. I look over at Brylan who's just looking at him most likely thinking if she should tell him or not.

'No it's just about Lilah,' Brylan shrugs before i hit her shoulder knowing it will make him more curious.

'What about her.' He leans forward onto the kitchen island. Even Noah has stopped and turned around eating from one of the grapes in Colton's hand, listening.

'What's his girl doing?.. it's technically his business to know,' Noah defends him.

'It's nothing really that special,' I trail off, 'she was just talking with me in class about Colton...and how he apparently looks at me weird and stuff- i don't know.'

'How do you look at her?' Damon looks over at Colton, he must've been listening without looking.

'I don't-,' he freezes seeming kind of lost, 'Lilah is just crazy with things like that...if I breath too loudly around a girl she gets a little defensive and I was just giving Katie your basketball I borrowed so she must've gotten jealous since I didn't give it to her to give to you like usual,'

'hah...classic Lilah,' Damon looks back taking off the second batch of pancakes he had made and surprisingly they haven't burned. 'I love how much she loves you...it's cute,'

'Yea.' Colton says passively before eating the last grape in hand, 'I guess...'

'He's here!' Brylan tosses her phone down clapping her hands as she makes her way to the door.

Confused I watch her head towards the door. Opening it quick I see Alex there lifting his hand to knock but she open the door before he can.

'He's here!' Jacob mocks her voice grabbing Noah who's besides him and squeezing him and pretending to kiss his face, 'I love you so much mwa mwa mwa,'

Brylan and Alex walk in ignoring them and heading towards me.

'Lilah only left my house like an hour ago, sorry I'm late.' Alex apologizes as he puts his tote bag on the couch.

Calling Alex over, I begin to tell him about Lilah talking to me in class which influences the boys to continue their own conversation.

When I finish explaining he sits up.

'Which is why you saw her with me,' I explain to him as he connects the dots.

'Ohhhh- That makes so much sense...I was like why is she talking to her?' He laughs confused

'She's an ass for trying to befriend you like that-,' Brylan says as I look to the opposite side of me to face her.

'I'm used to it...a lot of girls like to only talk to me to get to my brother so it's hard for me to find honest friends...like remember Eliza? Yea I had to cut her off because I overheard her tell someone that's the only reason she spoke to me,' I cross my arms a little upset. Me and Eliza had gotten along so well and would always laugh about everything together so it hurt knowing it was fake. Even looking at eachother would make us laugh. It hurt so fucking bad.

'I knew that she wouldn't get with my brother at least but I still didn't want to be around her,' I sigh.

'What made you think that,' she leans looking at me.

'Because he always fucks around with blonde girls with those beach tanned bodies.' I look over at the guys who are laughing about something.

'which is why that one of my favorite qualities about you is that you're not going after my brother. You just like me for me I guess.' I joke with her but she doesn't laugh surprisingly. She pulls up her knees again before nodding awkwardly.

'Yea.' She agrees as she glances over at them.
