Withholding the truth from you is lying as well. You two were supposed to be best friends and he lied. He is in love with you and he couldn't even manage to tell you that." Why did people make things so complicated? He and Aria were smart enough to realize they didn't hate each other and they were happier than ever now. If a friend lies to another friend, is that person really considered a friend?
She didn't like that word,
relationship. It sounded too...mature. As an almost-16-year-old, Hailey should be mature, of course, but most of the time she wasn't. And now that word was being applied to her and Mikey. Together.
The world was coming to an end. Clearly.
But she agreed with Hunter. Okay, so what if he lied about a few things? He's only human! She's lied plenty of times...
Withholding the truth...was that lying? She couldn't decide. She stared at her hands and let her curls fall over her face. She tried to think, to piece it all together.
He said he liked a girl who's name was a flower. Violet certainly fits. But now she wasn't sure if there really
was a Violet in their Herbology class. He called her Rose...and that was a flower's name.
HOLY CRAP.
The truth dawned on her suddenly but she couldn't accept it. She just couldn't. Unless Mikey said it himself. She wouldn't believe it coming out of anyone else's mouth. Ever.
"I'm sorry, Hunter. But..." She sniffled. Damn tears. "...I think you're wrong. Mikey doesn't like me like that."
