Cole's POV
Lex forced me to go to school the next day instead of letting me take care of her. I refused at first but then she said that if I don't go, she won't rest and take care of herself. She then explained to me why I had to go to school. I grinned and happily went.
"I didn't expect you to go to school" Robin said
"Yeah well Lex forced me to go." I huffed, still annoyed with that fact
"She's got you wrapped around her finger" He chuckles
"Yeah...and I like it." I smiled lightly
I spot Jess and Hailey talking with Chase. Robin and I walk over to them and they all greet us before asking how Lex is.
"She's fine. Just resting." I say
"I heard you play again." Robin chuckles as he looks at Hailey. Her eyes widen and she blushes bright red. She mumbles profanities at herself while looking down. Robin smiles ever so lightly at this. Chase and I don't miss that. We look at each other and smirk. Time to do what I was sent to do.
"So uh Hailey, I have a question." I say. She looks up at me with curious eyes
"I'm pretty sure you've seen a lot of people, yes? Has anybody catched your eyes? Someone special?" I ask her. Her eyes widen and her face goes back to being red. She averts her eyes from me.
"I uh I uhm n-no?"
Stuttering? Check
Roaming eyes? Check
She's lying.
"Really? There's a lot of hot guys in this school, yet you can't find anyone?"
She shrugs and tries not to look at me or the guy beside me. His face was void of emotions like always.
"Well I'm sure you'll find a guy. It's impossible that you'll stay single for long, especially with those looks" I say
"Why do you even care if she gets a guy Cole?" Robin says with slight annoyance in his voice
"Well I pity her. Everyone here is taken except her." I shrug
"And I recall you telling me that relationships aren't your thing" I add
"Robin is strictly just sex." Chase states
"Yup" I glance at Hailey to see her reaction. She was looking deep in thought and looked kinda dissapointed.
"Doesn't mean I'm never gonna date again" Robin rolls his eyes
"Really? I really thought you weren't" I say truthfully. I actually thought he wouldn't date anymore
"I'll date when I find the right girl but that'll be a long time from now." Robin says
"He may be an asshole but assholes need love too." Hailey suddenly says
"Yeah. She's right." He nods. I can tell he's fighting a smile when he hears her speak. We all look at each other and snicker. We all burst into laughter, making Robin look at us in confusion.
"Y-you just admitted. That y-you're an a-a-asshole" Chase says through his laughter. He looks confused for a while until he finally understands. His eyes widen and he glares at Hailey, who smiles at him innocently.
"You little minx." Robin glares at her. It was obviously just a playful glare. I don't think this guy has the guts to get mad at her.
"You better run."
And with that, Hailey ran off with Robin chasing her. Once they left we all face each other.
"We need to get them together." Jess says
