"It's not funny!"

"Yeah, it kinda is," He said. I hid my face in my hands. I shook my head.

"No..." I was blushing and I was trying to hide it.

"Come on." I turned and faced the other direction. I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist. He placed his head on my shoulder and carefully moved my hands from my face and turned me around, swaying from side to side. I didn't wanna open my eyes.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Open your eyes..." The voice belonged to Jack, but the soft, warm touch felt like Zach. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jack standing there. "Don't be embarrassed, it was just a joke."

"I know, but-" He held a finger to my lips. I looked at his finger before pushing it off with my hand. "Don't touch my lips ever again." He laughed.

"Don't be embarrassed ever again," He said.

"It's natural for humans to be embarrassed."

"I know, but you shouldn't be embarrassed. Ever." I rolled my eyes. He held me close and picked me up off the ground.

"Put me down," I ordered. He shook his head. "Jack, now."

"No." I groaned and tried to bite him. "You just tried to bite me!"

"I said put me down," I repeated. "Please?"

"Fine." He sighed and set me back on the ground.

"You two flirt too much," Corbyn said shaking his head.

"I know right," Daniel agreed.

"We don't flirt," I said.

"I beg to differ." Corbyn rolled his eyes and I hit him with a pillow.

"We don't," Jack said. "We're best friends. Best friends don't flirt. Plus, Deja doesn't like me."

"Yeah, I like someone else," I said.

"Who?" Daniel asked.

"None of your business," Jack said.

"I know who it is!" Jonah chimed in.

"So, the trio knows, but no one else does? Zach do you know?" Corbyn asked.

"Nope," Zach said popping the 'p'. "But I would like to know."

"You're never gonna find out," I said tapping his nose.

"I like someone too!" Zach yelled.

"It's Bridget huh?" Corbyn asked.

"Nah, I like someone else." Zach winked at me. My eyes grew wide and my face grew red. I hid my face again.

"Who?" Jack asked.

"I'm not gonna say," Zach looked over in my direction. Does he like me?

"You like Deja," Daniel said. I gasped.

"Maybe, maybe not..." Zach said. "You'll never get it out of me."

"Well played, Zach Herron." Zach laughed.

"Who do you like?" Zach asked me.

"Uh, I don't know," I said. I mentally smacked myself.

"How do you not know who you like?"

"I do, I just don't want you to know?" I probably sounded really stupid.

"Why don't you want me to know?" I asked.

"Because..."

"Tell me!" He yelled.

"I don't want to!"
