Hailee's P.O.V.Gale and I are sat by the river- after a slow walk along its aisle, while eating our ice cream. Gale leans back on his arm. "So, what exactly aroused your protest to Madison's room?" He asks. I sigh and stare across the river. "Jealousy." I skew my lips in embarrassment. Gale nods his head. I turn to look at him for just a moment. "Dean asked me to marry him today." Gale looks at me too, more of a glance, squinting his eyes from the sun shining down on us. "He did?"I lick my ice cream. "He really did." "Wow!"I lightly chuckle, pushing my behind my ear. "I was as shocked as you are." "And what did you say?" Gale questions. I shrug. "One day."Gale chuckles. "That's surely a confidence booster." He sarcastically says. "He must think he scared you off. I would." I sigh. "I just wasn't expecting it. It's way too soon, you know?""Maybe tell him that. He's probably overthinking the whole thing alone somewhere." Gale says."I will, later."Gale nods and sits up strai

Hailee's P.O.V."Tonight was amazing, Gale. Thank you." I happily say as him and I walk back to campus.

"You know, I saw Dean and Madison together. He probably noticed us too, otherwise he would've approached me." I tell. Gale turns his head towards me. "How did that make you feel?" I sigh. "I don't know. My emotions are all over the place as it is. I mean, maybe we were never meant for each other. Maybe we forced the whole thing." Gale shakes his head. "Hailee, even so, everything happens for a reason. Neither can you deny that something brought the two of you together, which still could. Either way, some

The sun is finally setting and campus looks almost empty as everyone is gone to prepare for the next week of doom. Except me. I'm outside by the school fountain staring at the sky. I don't know what I'm looking for or waiting on. My phone suddenly rings. It's my mom. "Hey Mom.""Hailee, how are you?" She asks, concern covering her voice. "Uhm, I'm fine, Mom. Are you?" She sighs. "I heard about the break up." I close my eyes. "Oh." I don't want to ask her who told her because for all I know, it could have been Dean himself. "I didn't tell Halsey. Figured she already knows." Mom says. "No, Mom. She doesn't know about it. I'd like it to stay that way for a while." I tell. The line stays quiet. "Just make sure you don't wait too long and give someone else a chance to tell her." Mom warns. I nod. She's right. Halsey wouldn't like that.
