Juliet's POV

School was finally done and I was headed to the subway when someone tapped my shoulder.

I turned and found Hayes.

"Hi." He smiled at me.

"Hi." I smiled back as I went down the stairs towards the subway.

I turned around and he kept on following me.

"Will you quit it?" I asked, obviously annoyed.

"What..."

"Following me."

"I live across the street from you, I don't have a ride and I need to take the subway." He said.

"Since when did you live across the street from me..?" I asked.

"Actually a few blocks down, my brother, Will, lives across from you." He said.

Wait, is he the guy that got arrested today? Maybe I shouldn't bring that up..

We went to stop B, to where my subway should be coming up shortly.

"So, would you like to hang out?" He asked.

I put in my earbuds, played Fancy by Iggy Azalea and started to talk to him again.

"If you want to." I shrugged.

"Maybe before Aaron picks you up?" He said.

"You mean...now?" I asked.

"Yeah, maybe." He smiled.

"Sure, why not." I answered.

Our train arrived and we both sat down.

No one ever took this train, so we were the only people there.

"What's the deal with you?" I blurted out.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I said.

"I think you deserve to be treated nicely. Aaron-"

"Don't bring him into this conversation." I stopped him.

"There's something going on with him!" He exclaimed.

"Wait, are you...jealous?" I smiled.

"Of course not." He said, his face turning red.

"You're jealous of Aaron?" I asked.

"No." He said too stubbornly.

I laughed as the subway stopped in Manhattan. I took out my earbuds and I got up and held my hand out to Hayes.

"What?" He asked as he looked at me.

I shook it, and he finally grabbed my hand.

We walked out of the subway, hand and hand.

"Is it okay with your family if you hang out?" I asked as we walked to my apartment.

"They wouldn't care anyways." He said as we reached the place.

We got inside the lobby then went in the elevator, to floor 11.

I got by the end of the hallway and reached my door, 1150.

I unlocked it and stepped inside, Hayes following me in.

I dropped my bags in the living room and went to the kitchen, and Hayes followed.

"Your place..is nice.." He finally spoke.

"Thanks. Do you want anything to eat?" I asked, going to the fridge to look for something.
