âHowâs Liam feeling bout tonight?â I ask Vanessa as I flip through the pages of potential colours while at the nail salon.
She side-eyes me. âHeâs not looking forward to going at all.â
âI tried asking him why he doesnât want to go. Iâd understand if he was a shy guy, but he really isnât at all.â
âAnd?â
I huff. âHe wouldnât tell me. He constantly brushes me off. I donât know whatâs going on with him lately,â I shrug. âYesterday he got so annoyed with me and basically told me to lay off of him.â
It upsets me just thinking about it.
âHmmmâ¦â She ponders.
âIt bothers me that heâs not telling me things like he used to. Heâs one of my best friends V, and lately-â I sigh. âLately, he doesnât feel like he is.â
âI know,â she squeezes my hand. âIâve noticed that too between the two of you. Maybe Iâll talk to him. I donât know if itâll help or change anything, but I can try fishing.â
âI hope so. He is your cousin.â
âYeah, but heâs closer to you. He tells you everything. Or at least he used to⦠I mean he came to you about his dad, meanwhile his dadâs my uncle.â
âYeah, I guess thatâs true.â
âItâs weird how sudden heâs changed with you over the course of the last few months.â
I look down at my lap. âYeahâ¦â
âOr maybe heâs not telling you becauseâ¦â V pauses and looks at the ceiling as if sheâs rethinking whether or not she should tell me whateverâs on her mind.
âWhat?â
âI donât know, but Iâve been thinking about it a lot latelyâ¦â She pinches the bridge of her nose.
âSpill,â I demand.
âMaybe Liam likes you?â Her eyebrows rise and her jaw clenches.
âWhat?â I laugh. âVery funny,â I roll my eyes at her.
âNo, Elena, Iâm being serious.â
I look back up at her amber eyes, and she doesnât even break into laughter. Seriousness is written all over her face.
But how ridiculous is that? I think I would know if he likes me.
âWhat makes you think that?â I puzzle.
âI can just tell. He always lights up whenever youâre around, and he can never wipe that stupid toothy smile that grows on his face, and-â
âNo,â I cut her off abruptly. âWeâre best friends, and heâs always smiling.â At least he used to. âWhy is it so hard for people to believe that a guy and a girl can be just friends?â I defend.
She frowns. âUmm, you and Kane?â
âThatâs different,â I shake my head.
âIf you could see what I see, and what everyone else sees, I think you would understand.â
âWhat everyone else sees? Come on, Vanessa. Thereâs no way,â I brush off.
âHe gets this gleam in his eye when he sees you, Elena, and I swear every time he touches you, whether itâs a hug or something as little as you brushing past him, grabbing his arm, whatever, he turns this bright shade of redâ she rambles on.
âYouâre reading into it a little too much.â
âElena, I watch him looking at you whenever youâre around, and
