'i mean, you're ruining your chances here.', talia teased.

'uh- huh?', simon stuttered.

'i saw you smiling at your phone so i decided to be nosy. of course, it was jj who was texting you. you should really start being nice to him. or at least give him a chance.', talia reported.

'i know. i want to, i just- don't know how.', simon said, sighing.

'just be nice when he texts you? or talks to you? don't be such a dickhead.', talia teased.

soon after she ended her sentence, she ran.

simon was confused as to why she started running, but then saw her laying on the pitch in freya's arms.

simon rolled his eyes and walked over the the brunette boy.

'girls, innit?', josh joked.

'yep.', simon giggled.

_______

it was time for freya and josh to go home. they all said their goodbyes and left.

simon and talia stayed at the tiny park.

'simon?', talia looked at simon, who was facing his phone.

he hummed in response, letting her know he's listening.

'why don't you like jj?', the smaller girl asked.

'no, i do like him. i just- act like i don't.', simon explained.

'why? it looks like it genuinely hurts him.', she said.

'well, i don't really care. i don't want to befriend him.'

'why?', she questioned.

'because. i'm scared he'll fuck up my work ethic and just my life in general. it happened with-', talia cut him off.

'your ex, too. i know, i know. but come on. not everyone's like that?! plus, you're not gonna date jj, i suppose?', natalia stated.

'true, but still.', simon stared down at the floor.

'just give him a chance. text him!', talia proposed.

'okay.', simon sighed out.
