Milo
I wasn’t jealous, he was happy with his new girlfriend. He moved on and got into a loving relationship. One without me. It wasn’t my place to be jealous.
But why did he have to ask me? Was he just trying to rub it in my face or some shit? He probably was. Since I was the only person who lived here who didn’t have a partner.
Cameron has Mia
Caleb has a boyfriend
Damien had his girlfriend
But me? I had just myself. But it’s not like I needed a girlfriend or a boyfriend. I just needed me and me alone. Everyone dies alone, what’s wrong with being alone romantically. It won’t kill me. It’s not like I’m scared to be alone or anything like that.
I stared up at my ceiling, the sun was peeping through the blinds hitting my body, warming me like I was on the beach trying to get a tan. It was like 10 in the morning, and the sun was like this?
I sit up and look around. I needed to do something with myself. Sulking in my loneliness wasn’t gonna make me feel better.
I heard a door open downstairs and I was sure that he opened the door for his girlfriend.
Not even 30 seconds later I heard laughing from the two.
Whatever I was gonna do wasn’t gonna be in this house. I grab a pair of shorts and a shirt before pulling my shoes. My phone, wallet, and earbuds in my pocket. I pop in my earbuds and blast a song from my playlist before going downstairs.
I look in the kitchen and see him and her making something. He turns around and sees me and his mouth moves, but I point to my ear, showing him my air pod before continuing my walk out the house before closing the door, not giving him a chance to walk over to me and say anything.
I felt shitty, but I also felt jealous. But ignoring him was the only way I’d get over him. Maybe friends, but nothing more than that. Absolutely nothing more than that.
I’ll just tell him I wasn’t in the mood if he asks or something.
I decided to walk to a café, upon entering I am engulfed by the smell. It smells great in here. Obviously it smells good in here, it’s a café.
I walk further inside, but I bump into someone. Causing them to nearly fall, but I catch them., my hand quickly slithering around the waist.
Looking up I see It was a girl I caught. She had dark brown eyes but with the sun hitting her eyes they looked honey brown, which complemented her chestnut skin tone, her black hair pulled into a medium ponytail.
“O-Oh, sorry! I wasn’t paying attention.” The girl nervously exclaimed.
I lifte her up and flash her a reassuring smile.
“No need to apologize, neither of us was actually paying attention.”
“Oh. Well I’m Noelle, thanks for catching me.” She responded with a cheeke smile pulling the corners of her lips.
“You have a pretty smile.”
“H-Huh!?”
“Sorry, if that made you uncomfortable. I’m Milo.”
“No! It’s just it surprised me is all.” She twirled her hair in her fingers. “I hope you have a good day.” She continues to walk pass me until she was out the door, no longer in my vision.
Noelle
She was sweet

I push open the door and I’m swamped with the smell of pork chops and some rice. Which made me seem like a starving man. I’d been out all day exploring the city. And yes I’ve been walking around even though I have a car.
I only used my car unless I actually needed it. One, because of gas prices, and two I hated using it. My mom had gotten me it as an apology gift because of the incident from my ex-stepfather.
During Junior year my mom had gotten a boyfriend, and he was terrible. It’s like he hated every bone in my body. About a year ago he… y’know what that’s not important right now. All you need to know is that she gave me a car as an apology gift. I didn’t accept her apology, because I told her previous times and wouldn’t believe me.
Since I had gotten into doing parkour during that time, that’s where she assumed I got all my bruises from, and she claimed I just hated him and wanted her to be lonely.
I don’t hate her, but I definitely don’t like her. She is my mother after all, but to believe a man you just met over your child that you birth. It really made me think less of her.
“You’re back, you’ve been out all day.” I hear someone shout from further in the house, it sounded like Cameron. As I shut the door, the door is stopped and Caleb walks in.
“Oh, my bad.” I tell him, I didn’t even notice him behind me. He was basically towering over me, once again making me feel shorter that I actually am. I was 5’10, nearly 6 feet.
“It’s fine. I should’ve said something. Ooh, what is that delicious smell?” He shuts the door with his foot and quickly walk to the kitchen.
I trail behind him and see Damien in the kitchen taking pork shops out of the deep fryer. There was rice boiling on the stove.
“I got bored, so I decided to cook dinner.” He took the last piece of pork chop out before unplugging the deep fryer.
“It smells good.” I compliment as I watch him go over to the stove and turn the oven off. He picks the boiler up by the handles and pours the water out before sitting it back onto the stove.
“Also, earlier Milo. Were you ok? You seemed like you were upset.” Damien turned around to me with a slightly confused expression.
“I was just hungry, and I’m not the best person when my stomach hurts.”
“Note to self; don’t let Milo get hungry or he’ll be pissy.” Damien noted, which got a giggle out of Caleb.
“Ok, first off I wasn’t pissy. I was just hungry, which made me irritated.” I counter, rolling my eyes from his comment.
“Well dinner is complete, so you won’t be irritated.” He said irritated in a way that sounded like he was mocking me almost. He walks off and I glare at him before quickly following and jumping on his back, causing him to let out a startled noise.
“What the- Milo- ack!”
I had my leg around his waist as I had him in a chokehold. “I don’t think I like the way you said irritated. You’re gonna have to go down.”
“I can’t brea-breathe!”
I unlock my limbs from around him jumping down from his back. I tripped him, and attempted to catch him on the way down to show dominance but he pulled me down and I fell with him.
Opening my eyes I sat up and realized that my legs are straddling him. I glare down at him, but my lips are pulled into a smirk.
“Say I wasn’t pissy.”
His eye flashes with shock and I see a pink tint forming on his cheeks before be quickly swapped our positions.
He leans up to my ear, and his breath fans over my ear, “You were a little piss baby.” He then stood up leaving me on the floor in a daze. My face was red and hot.
What the fuck just happen?
I just got bottomed, that was what just happened!
Also what the hell was I thinking? I was straddling him!
“You ok?” Caleb asked with a small chuckle at the end as he reached his hand out to help me up.
“Yea I’m ok.” I responded as I took his hand and he pulled me with more strength than I anticipated and I ended up too close to his face. My eyes subconsciously flickered down to his lips.
What am I doing?
I took a few steps back and hurried to the kitchen.
Get it together Milo!
