As the group left Josh grabbed Elizabeth and took her behind the school. He pinned her against the wall and looked desperate to kiss her right there right now. "What do you want?" Elizabeth asked looking deep into his eyes, "oh yeah," Josh snapped out of it and backed away. "I just wanted to say sorry about what happened last week," he remarked placing his hands in his pocket, "look Li I'm not asking you to take me back but I just wanted to apologize for the horrible things I did to you. I don't expect you to forgive me right away but please don't let this ruin our friendship, I know I betrayed your trust and broke your heart but I can't bare to lose you as a friend." He stated looking very sorry, "losing you as a lover is already worse but I can't bare to lose you as a friend." He added. Elizabeth stood there looking at him trying to hold back her tears. "I don't want to lose you as a friend either, but how am I supposed to view us as friends now," she said, "I'm already too attached to you, and what hurts me is knowing that I still like you and you don't even have feelings for me!" She Implied, "it's not like I don't like you," Josh stated, "but you know what Josh your right, losing you as a lover is worse and I can't bare to lose you as a friend." She remarked looking up trying to hold in her tears, "so it's better if we just go back to being friends." She added, "why are you looking up?" He asked confused, "so I don't cry you, dummy!" She answered, Josh smiled and shook his head. "What's funny?" She asked looking at him, "Nothing." He replied walking away. "Hey Josh come back!" She followed behind me, "is there something on my face?" She asked touching her face, Josh kept smiling and didn't reply.
A few minutes later after Elizabeth tried to figure out why Josh was smiling so hard the others came back with drinks and cakes. "Ooo, look at them y'all they are back to Li and Josh!" Love teased them, "don't be silly," Elizabeth said as she turned to look at them, "aww, what's wrong you shy!" Aria teased, "My Brosky!" Daniel chimed in as he sat down next to Josh, "I see the double rizz coming up," Sammy smiled as he also slid next to Josh. The other three girls sat next to Li and looked at her smiling. "You guys need to stop being stupid," Elizabeth said looking at them, "right, we're not getting back together we decided being friends is better!" Josh added, "Great idea!" They all agreed. "Wow, haters." Josh and Li said looking at them. They all looked at each other and laughed.
Later that same day in language class they were working on a project so LI needed a partner. Since none of her friends had language class with her it was hard for her to find a partner. But as she sat and watched everyone get a partner a boy came up to her. "Sup Li," he said looking down at her, "Dame Amir, you scared the shit out of me!" She said as she slightly jumped, "Why are you so spaced out?" He asked sitting next to her, "just thinking," she smiled looking at him, "You have a partner yet?" He asked, she smiled and shook her head. "Same, wanna work together?" He asked, "Yeah, that'll be nice." She replied, "Great! So I was thinking we could do the history of China," he recommended, "Yeah, that'll be great." She replied smiling.
After School
"Sure, just text me what you want me to do," Elizabeth said as she walked out of the school with Amir, "okay then see you!" He waved at her and walked away. "Ooo, Li who was that?" Love asked as she walked behind her, "Oh, just a friend!" She replied as she turned and looked at them. As she turned she found herself looking at Josh and for a second they locked eyes but she quickly looked away and smiled at the others. "Y'all I'm hungry let's go get something!" Daniel cried, "Bro you're always hungry!" Destiny rolled her eyes, "what, I'm an athlete I have to eat and have strength," he remarked, "Okay enough, we can go and eat." Li added stopping the argument. "Let's go, baby!" Daniel said grabbing Aria's hand and walking away. Destiny rolled her eyes and she followed behind. Sammy smiled nervously and ran after Destiny. Elizabeth and Josh stood there looking at each other and quickly she broke eye contact and walked behind them and Josh followed behind.
Later in the evening at Li's house, she's in her room texting her friend on Instagram.
In replying to Destiny's story that she posted,
"Now that you guys have made up you're not letting each other go." She stated
"Don't be silly," Destiny replied
"What, lol look at How his holding you in his arms," she teased,
"You want something like this huh?" Destiny teased back,
"Okay, girl no need to go thereðŸ˜"
"Okay then, bye I'm busy with my bae. A single person like you won't understand."
"Wow, I feel offendedðŸ˜ðŸ’€"
"Bye!" She ends the text.
That same evening at Aria's house in her room she's cuddling in her bed with Daniel. "Look at this, it's so cute!" She said showing him a dress she liked, "Are you going to get it?" He asked looking at her, "no, my dad said I have to get my grades up if I want the dress," she sighed, "don't worry, I'm sure he'll get it for you," he said stroking her hair, "can you get it for me?" She asked looking at him excitedly, "No can do sweetheart, I've already spent half of my allowance on you last week," he replied bopping her nose, "just this once please!" She begged as she rose, "Nope," he refused shaking his head, "it's not fair!" She whined, "You know what's not fair is that I haven't kissed you at all today," he added on, "Then if I give you a kiss will you buy it for me?" She asked looking at him with a big smile, "Nope, but I'm going to get my kiss." He said as he lay up and looked at her smiling. He grabbed her by her shoulders and went in for a kiss.
