Demitra’s POV
Lunch was quiet, except for the occasional teasing from Sunday and Eliana. “You and Y/n seem to be doing great.” Sunday started to tease while picking up a piece of chicken that was on her plate with her fork. “I mean, you did ask her to stay over last night.” she finished before putting the food in her mouth.
“Yeah, she’s really great.” I told her, for some reason feeling warmer than before “Aww, look Kailea. She’s blushing.” Eliana said, pointing at my cheeks. I turned around to look at the mirror that was on the cabinet behind me. What the fuck. My cheeks were as red as a fucking tomato. “No, I think my food is just spicy.” I said, fanning myself to try and get the redness to go away. “I don’t think that’s it Mia.” Kailea said while laughing. “Whatever guys” I shut the conversation down before continuing to eat my food.
“Where’s my phone? I need to take a picture.” Eliana said, getting up to search for her phone. Oh my days. “Guys stop, it’s the food.” “Okay, if you say so.” Kailea said. “I found it.” Eli yelled from the living room. “Say cheese Mia.” I covered my cheeks so she couldn’t see them, but that didn’t stop her from taking a picture. “I think that’s enough.” I told them before finishing my meal and going up to my room.
I layed in bed searching for a show to watch till I decided on Bridgerton. It kept me occupied for some time, but it wasn’t long before my thoughts were plagued by a certain someone. For some reason when she’s not around, even virtually, I feel as if there’s an emptiness that not even Eli and Kailea can fill. I don’t know why I feel like this, I don’t even know what we are right now, other than the fact that she’s my fake girlfriend.
Seeing her so concentrated today, gently handling Aria and keeping me company even while she was doing something of her own, makes me feel something weird in my stomach. Something I haven’t even felt while I was with my ex. She’s probably just being friendly. I mean, she did try to be nice to me while we were younger but gave up when she saw how stubborn I was.
I tried to shake off the thought of her and continued to watch the show that had been long forgotten since I basically zoned out. Even though my focus was now on Colin and Penelope’s heartwarming love story, thoughts of the brunette were still on my mind.

After basically watching half the season in one sitting, I remembered that I have an assignment due tomorrow. I took my laptop out and started working on that. It was a really stupid topic, plus I didn’t care about the grade, since there’s literally a week of school left till summer brake.
By the time I finished the assignment it was 10:30 PM. I quickly emailed it to the teacher and started getting ready for bed. After doing my routine and changing into shorts and a sweatshirt, I got comfy in bed. I resumed watching the show till my eyes began to grow heavier by the second and I fell asleep, qurious about what tomorrow will hold.

After a lot of tossing and turning, I realized I, yet again, wasn’t going to get much sleep. This wasn’t anything new to me. I haven’t been able to sleep well for over a year now and it’s always the same. I would be tired when I go to bed, but I would just keep thrashing around all night and wake up very restless.
I turned my phone on so I could check how much time I had left till I had to get up. The phone screen illuminated my face, practically blinding me. After adjusting to the light of the screen, I saw that it was 6 o’clock. Fucking marvelous. Might as well get up now. My alarm wasn’t gonna go of for another 45 minutes, but there is no way I can go back to sleep.
I pulled the covers off of myself and got out of bed, taking my phone off the charger in the process. I went over to my closet so I could pick out what I’m gonna wear. It shouldn’t be too cold, so I’m gonna wear a shirt and jeans. After getting dressed, I did my morning routine, did my makeup and went downstairs to make some breakfast, since I have time I’m gonna make waffles for the whole family. I played some music so time goes by faster.
While I was mixing the batter Paper rings started playing, which made me sing along to it softly. After about 30 minutes of dancing around and making waffles, they were done. I took two for myself and added some fruit on the side. And I have to say, they were busss. Not because I made them, but because they were literally bus.
I finished with breakfast and washed my plate and everything else I used to make the waffles, so my mom wouldn’t have to. When I looked at the time it was 7:15, perfect. I have 15 minutes left and I’m gonna use them to make a few TikToks before Y/n gets here.
In the middle of one of the videos, the doorbell rang. I ran out of frame so I could open the door.

Y/n’s POV
After getting everything I needed for the day, I said goodbye to Aria and left the house. I started my car and made my way to the Kalogeras house so I could pick Mia up.
When I got to her house, it was 7:30 on the dot. I got out of my car and walked up to the door, ringing the doorbell to notify her that I’m here. After a few seconds, the door swung open, revealing a smiling Demitra, for some reason my heart skipped a beat, maybe even two or three. “Hey, come in.” she told me, motioning for me to come inside. “I just have to grab my bag and then we can go.” she continued while walking, her voice sweet like sugar. “Okay” that was the only word that left my mouth. What the fuck is wrong with me. “Are you okay?” Demitra asked, turning around to face me. “Yeah, everything’s fine, no need to worry.” I told her. “Okay, let me go grab everything, it’ll only take a minute.” “Take your time.” Demitra proceeded to grab her phone from the tripod that was in the hall and ran up to her room.
“I’m ready” she said while walking towards me. “Okay, let’s go.” I told the girl, opening the front door for her. She thanked me and waited for me to step outside too so she could lock the door. After she locked it, we walked to my car. I opened the door for her yet again. “After you” I told her. “Thanks Y/nn” she said in a sweet voice before I closed her door and got in myself.
After starting the car, the song 505 started playing through the speakers. This was one of my favorite songs and I started to sing quietly, subconsciously. Demitra looked at me for a moment before joining in. The rest of the car ride was filled with singing and laughing, the polar opposite of what it was on friday. And to be honest, I’m glad that it’s not like it was before.

When we made it to the school parking lot, I got out of the car and went over to Demitra’s to open her door. I offered her my hand which she took with a smile and we walked into school, everyone’s eyes on us, again. “Hey lovebirds.” Olivia said as we approached her. “Hey Liv” I told her before giving her a quick hug. “How was your weekend?” she asked teasingly, wiggling her eyebrows. “Oh, it was very eventful Olivia.” I joked back. “Oh? Is that so?” “Yeah.” While we were joking around, Harper, Sadie and Eva were just looking at the three of us, confused out of their minds. Olivia turned towards them and saw the looks on their faces.
“Oh, you don’t know?” she asked them. The three girls just nodded no. “Can I tell them?” Olivia asked Demitra and me. Mia and I just looked at eachother, silently agreeing that she can tell them. I mean, we are ‘together’. It shouldn’t be that weird. “Sure Liv.” Mia told the girl that instantly turned around so she could tell the news. “Y/n slept over at Demitra’s this weekend.” Olivia spilled out fast, excited that she got to tell them. A string of ohs left the girls lips before we continued to talk about nonsense till it was time to split up and go to class.

After third period it was finally time for lunch. Like last week, Demitra was waiting outside of the classroom I was in so we could go to lunch together. “Hey baby.” she said as I walked out of class. This time, the nickname didn’t sound forced. “Hi baby.” I replied as I took her hand in mine and we went to meet up with our friends.
When we got to our spot, everyone was already there waiting for us. “There you are, I have something to tell you guys.” Olivia said as we sat down. “What is it?” I asked, my hand still intertwined with Mia’s. For some reason, our hands fit perfectly together. “Ryan asked me out on a second date.” “Oh my God, finally.” Eva said, smiling. “When are you going?” Sadie asked. “Tomorrow, we’re probably going to the movies.” “That’s amazing.” Demitra added from next to me. “What are you gonna wear?” Sadie asked again. “So, I was thinking-“
The whole time Olivia was explaining what she was going to wear for her date, my eyes were glued on mine and Demitra’s hands. I would sneak a look at her every now and then, before getting caught by her big chocolate eyes. That was until someone latched onto my back, making tense up and zone back in. I didn’t know who was hugging be until I heard them speak. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” When I realized the voice belonged to Eliana, my muscles relaxed. “What for?” I asked her after turning to face her, my hand still holding Demitra’s.
“I aced the fucking test.” she said, proudly showing me her test. “Oh my days that’s amazing, I’m so proud of you Eli.” I told the younger girl while looking at her test. “I wouldn’t have done it without your help.” “It was all you, all I did was show you the basics.” “Still, you are a fucking magician with that stuff, you made it so easy to understand.” “What can I say, I’m very glad you found it easy.” this girl is just tooting my horn now. “It was a piece of cake. I have to go, Noah’s waiting for me, but thank you so much.” she said before walking away happy.

Demitra’s POV
Seeing Y/n interact with Eliana and actually help her, makes me feel warm inside. She really doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. “Baby, you okay?” she asked me, the nickname making my stomach do literal flips. “Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about something. What’s up?” “We have free period next, would you like to go to the art room with me so we can check if our painting is dry?” I totally forgot about the painting. “Sure” “The bells about to ring, do you wanna go now?” “Yeah, let’s go.”
We walked through the halls hand in hand before we made it to the art room. Y/n pulled out the keys from her bag, letting go of my hand, leaving a warmth in it’s place that was soon replaced with emptiness. She unlocked the door and let me go in first. “Let’s see where it is” Y/n said as she walked over to the stack of paintings, going through every one of them. “Here it is.” I went over to her and placed my head on her shoulder from behind, looking at the painting that she was holding up.
“What do you think?” she asked me. “It’s beautiful.” the painting was indeed very beautiful, it was our painting. I moved my head from her shoulder and she turned around to face me. “I want you to have it.” Y/n told me with the purest look in her eyes. “Really?” I questioned. “Of course.” she reassure me.
The first thing that came to mind that I needed to do was hug her. I slowly moved closer to her and wrapped my arms softly around her. Her arms went to my waist while my head rested in the crook of her neck, the smell of her perfume filling my nose. Our hearts were practically beating as one. The moment was so pure, it made me realize something. I might actually be falling for this girl.
