"What is she doing here?!" Stephanie asks with her hand akimbo and a gift bag wrapped around her fingers.

"Well, this should be interesting." James says smirking.

"You still have the guts to show your face after what you've done?!" She shrieks.

Does she have any idea that she is in an hospital? Again, she sounds like she's been crying. Pathetic much?

I open my mouth to say something but Will Tucker beat me to it. "Calm down Stephanie, she just came here to apologize." If I was in my right mind I would say Will is defending me. Maybe the sweetness of the chocolate has addled his brain.

"No! She shouldn't be around you. Not after what she did. She should be in jail or something." She complains.

Geez! You're not his mum!

"Look Stephanie, I was about to leave, so...." I try to explain.

"What is that you're eating?" She asks Will who was about to put a piece of chocolate into his mouth. She drops her gift bag and walks towards him and I move out of the way, because she looks like she can claw my eyes out with those fake nails.

"Um...chocolate?" He says innocently, "Maria made them." So he knows my name.

"Ew!" She shrieks snatching the box from him and throwing it into the trash.

"What the hell?!" James yells, "I was going to eat that!"

"Nobody has business with you James." She States.

I guess it's not just me.

"And I don't care, what makes you think you can walk in here and claim rights like you're his girlfriend?" He asks clearly annoyed.

I take this as my cue to leave.

"Guys, calm down we're in a hospital." I try to shush them.

"What are you still doing here?" Stephanie asks.

"I was going...."

"You shouldn't be eating that," she continues with William who looks like he's about to cry. I feel sorry for him.

I really don't know what's gotten into Stephanie. She wasn't like this, she was the nicest and sweetest girl I knew. I always thought that if anyone actually turned into a bully, it would me, not her. But like they always say you can judge a book by its cover.

"But..." Will tried to argue.

"No buts," she places her finger on his lip, "the doctor says healthy food."

"Bye guys." I start to leave.

"You are still here?" She asks slightly irritated.

"Calm down woman, I'm on my way." I say and was about to leave the room when she stops me.

"Here take these with you, " she gives me the daisies I brought for Will, "Will is allergic to them."

"No I'm not!" Will states and James shot him an apologetic look.

"Sure." I say taking it from her. I walk out of the room, leaving them to bicker.

"Daisies are not healthy either," I hear her bicker with William. I forgot to wish him good luck. I throw the daisies into the nearest trash can and bump into a man in white scrubs who happens to Will's doctor.

"Miss Colton." He says.

"Hey doctor Gregory." I smile.

"You're here to see Mr Tucker, am I right?"

"Yes, but his room is full right now."

"Of course, we've been receiving lots of visitors since last night." He chuckles. Last night?!. "His parents told me to thank you, if you came by."

"Oh, they are such nice people." I say truthfully.

"Yes they truly are," he agrees, "I have to go check up on the patient." He excuses himself.

"Sure," I say making way for him to enter the room.

I start walking down the hallway when I hear someone call me, I turn around and see it is James Anderson, I turn around back and walk quickly. But of course the 'jock' caught up with me.

"Whoa, calm down, bolt." He says grabbing my wrist.

"What do you want?" I ask yanking my wrist away from his hand and hitting my hand on a water fountain in the process. Ow!

"Why did you throw away the flowers?"

"Didn't you hear Stephanie?, he's allergic to them." I say walking away again.

"Yes, I heard. But she just said that to piss you off."

"I know, they are pretty useless anyway." I say trying my best to walk away from him, but with his long legs, it's easy for him to catch up. "Is there a reason why you're following me, James Anderson?" I ask already tired of this marathon.

He snorts. "Don't flatter yourself, Maria Colton. I didn't want to be involved in their little drama."

"Some best friend you are, aren't supposed to help him with his girlfriend." I ask stopping in front of the elevator.

"Please, Stephanie is anything but Will's girlfriend." He snorts, pressing the ground button.

"I'm not sure she knows that," I say stepping into the elevator as it opens.

"She's more of a colleague or acquaintance, I have no idea." He steps in with me. "Plus, she's super clingy, why would anyone want a girlfriend like that? Anyway Will is planning on getting rid of her after they singing that crappy duet together. Why am I telling you this again?" He asks and I shrug.

Yeah why is he telling me this?

"Anyway," The elevator door opens, "thanks for the information but I have to go." I step out of the elevator and thank the nurse at the front desk before leaving the hospital.

I pull out my keys as I reach my car and I see James body running towards me.

"Hey!" He stops in front of me.

"Sup?" I wait for him to say what he wants to.

He hesitates for a while before saying, "I need a favour."

"What makes you think I'm gonna help you?" I say rudely.

"I'm gonna pay you." He states. My ears usually spark up when money is involved in a conversation so..

"Okay? Let's get this straight, James Anderson, I'm not going to wash your car or do your laundry and there's no way in hell I'm sleeping with you, also I am so not going to be your fake girlfriend." I clarify.

He burst into laughter and I wait awkwardly till he stops laughing. "Once again, Maria Colton, don't flatter yourself. What makes you think I want to sleep with you?," okay ouch! "Also I have girls lining up to do my laundry and wash my car, so no thanks."  True that.

"What do you want James?" I ask already upset.

"Are you sure you made those chocolates?." I roll my eyes and open my car door, but he quickly slams it before I could get in. "Wait..wait. I'm sorry. I just wanted to be sure."

"Whatever."

"Um, like I said upstairs, my sister's birthday is coming, so I want you to make those mean chocolates for her birthday." He scratches the back of his neck nervously.

"You want me to make your sister's chocolate?" I clarify and he nods, "why?"

"Cause they were delicious and my sis would love them. Her and her peppy friends, that is." I eye him mischievously. "And like I said I would pay you."

Aw, ain't that cute.

Inside all that Jerkness and douchebagness there's still a sweet big brother. So how can I say no.

"Whatever." I agree.

"Really?" I nod, "you'd do it?"

"For money." I state.

"Sure..." He drawls but when I glare at him he nods. "Of course, we'll discuss the deets of the price in school on Monday." He says moving away from my car so I can enter.

"No one says deets anymore." I inform him and open my car.

"Hey Colton."

"Hmm."

"Do you know that's the first time we're having a conversation without biting each others head off?" He asks and I chuckle cause he's actually right.

"You're still a douche." I deadpan.

"And you're still a grumpy little bitch." He shot back with a smile. I roll my eyes and enter my car. "See ya later Colton!" He says and walks back into the hospital building.

I shake my head as I watched his retreating figure.

Screw you Anderson.

Eh! Two updates in a day.
My mum is complaining about not turning off the lights, but it's worth it.
Hope you enjoyed.
