"Can you pass me the syrup?"

Megan dropped her fork as she turned towards the sound of the voice. Her eyes narrowed into slits, as she glared at the intruder. "Get your own fucking syrup."

Dennis closed his eyes trying to mask his growing anger. He took a deep breath, before answering. "You know, you used to be so sweet."

"Well, that was before you decided to cheat on my best friend," Megan shot back. "You should've known the consequences."

"For the last time, I didn't cheat on her!" he shouted, slamming his hands on the table. Bradlee paused in mid-bite, eyeing Dennis for a split second before he ignored him, going back to his meal.

I sighed. Even though I wanted nothing but to throw Dennis out the door, I couldn't. His parents had contacted my parents yesterday, begging them to let Dennis stay over for winter break. Apparently they were going away on vacation for a few weeks, and they couldn't leave Dennis alone even though he was twenty-two-years old. They said he lacked 'life skills', so of course my parents agreed, since they knew how close I was with Dennis. Too bad they didn't know I hated him with a passion for cheating on me.

"You should really give up on that," I spoke, drawing his attention away from Megan. "We all know you cheated. Just admit it and we can move on with our lives."

"I-I—"

"—stop lying Dennis. I heard the phone calls. I know what happened, and honestly, I don't really care anymore."

"Lily, I'm sorry—"

I held my hand up, shutting him up. "—save it. I don't want to hear it." Wiping my face clean, I stood up, pushing my chair in. "Let's go, before we're late."

"I can't believe he's staying with us." Megan slumped against the back seat of Demitri's car, as she crossed her arms. "He's got some nerves showing up when he's not wanted."

Bradlee nodded, agreeing with Megan. She automatically blushed seeing Bradlee smiling at her, as I laughed. She still wasn't used to being this close to Bradlee. When she found out that he was staying over too, she nearly fainted. And when she found out we kissed, she practically damaged my eardrums, screaming out in joy. When she finally calmed down, she demanded me to spill all the 'juicy details'.
