Cailee: eyes narrow, placing one hand on hip Chatting cozy, huh? Who's she?
crosses arms, smirking Oh, just a random classmate, huh? Nothing important at all. leans in closer So, what were you two talking about then?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the lies. I'm not buying it for a second. steps closer, invading personal space You think I'm stupid, West?
no of course not you're the smartest person I know gently squeezes her hand
smirks, leaning even closer Well, if you're so smart, then you should know that I don't tolerate being deceived. tightens grip on West's hand
I'm sorry okay I was talking with her about some things we had to do with a presentation but it's super boring I didn't want to bore you
releases West's hand, smirking Oh, how convenient for you. You conveniently forgot to mention the boring part when you were chatting away with your classmate.
did I? I laugh making her blush
narrows her eyes, embarrassed You think this is funny, West?
no but I wish you would've told me you wanted to chat with your friend instead of just leaving. I could've stayed with you instead of talking to her
crosses her arms defensively Look, West, I didn't want to tie you down. I thought you'd enjoy some guy time with your classmates.
next time I will stay with you if that's what you want
sighs heavily, rolls her eyes West, sometimes I wonder if you're actually listening to me. leans in closer, voice laced with frustration
what do you mean? of course I am
West and Cailee break up after the incident, leading to a period of emotional turmoil and self-discovery for both.
I'm sorry to upset you I hang my head low
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact Upset? No, West, you don't even understand how much you've hurt me. voice trembling with anger and disappointment
look I'm sorry okay I try to get her to look at me
snaps, turning away from West Sorry doesn't fix everything, West! crosses her arms, glaring at him
I know that's why I'm trying to talk to you and work this out
throws her hands up in exasperation Work this out? How can we work this out when you can't even listen to me?
I gently grab her arm and pull her close I'm sorry I'm listening now
jerks her arm away from West's grasp Listening isn't enough, West. Actions speak louder than words. narrows her eyes
I pause for a moment putting my thoughts together I have a plan, let's go somewhere far away from here where we can work on our relationship and get to know each other on a deeper level and forget about all of this
tilts her head skeptically A plan, huh? And where might this magical place be, West? raises an eyebrow
laughs sarcastically Hawaii? Seriously, West? You think a romantic getaway is going to fix everything? crosses her arms
no but it's a start I shrug
rolls her eyes, scoffs A start? West, you really think a vacation is going to magically mend the damage you've caused? sighs heavily
no but it'll help us get started and give us a fresh start and the added bonus is we get to try a new adventure together I smile
rolls her eyes, smirks sarcastically Adventure, huh? Well, color me impressed, West. But let's not forget, it's going to take more than a little adventure to make up for your betrayal. crosses her arms, leans back
lets out a frustrated groan Fine, West. If you're serious about making things right, then let's go to Hawaii.
