Olette's POV

We're at the usual spot, Pence, Hayner and I.

It's way too cold to be eating sea-salt ice cream, much to Pence's dismay. In fact, it's too cold to be doing anything at the moment. We're not doing anything at all. I'm freezing my butt off on the couch, Hayner's moving around in circles in an attempt to stay warm, and Pence is sitting on top of the box, thinking about ice cream.

"There's gotta be a way to stay cool…" Hayner huffed, pacing back and forth.

"I have an idea," I say, annoyed. "Why don't we… go home with our nice warm heaters!?"

Hayner looks over at me with chilly eyes. "Well, you can go home if you really want to."

I know that Hayner's mum and sister are out, and he lost his house key. Pence is just staying with him to be a good friend, and so was I. I wouldn't mind if we were actually doing something.

"Well, Hayner, why don't we do something?" I ask, trying to be nice.

"Like what? What are we supposed to do when it's snowing outside and I can't even go back into my own house!"

Here we go. Mr. Attitude. "And whose fault is that?"

Hayner glared at me. "It's not my fault. They were in my jacket pocket! And it zips up, so it couldn't have fallen out!"

I sigh. Sure it was, Hayner. "Well, we can still do something."

"Oh, like what, Olette? What bright idea do you have? Are you gonna lecture us about not doing anything now? Like you lecture us on everything else!"

"What? I do not lecture you! When have I ever lectured you?"

Hayner rolled his eyes and turned into a different stance. "You shouldn't have done that, Hayner!" He's imitating me! "Don't be stupid, Hayner! Hayner, that was inappropriate!"

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. "Well, sorry for caring about you, Hayner! And who's the one who said that they needed me to look after them? You!"

I could see Hayner remembering about the time I stopped Seifer from beating him up.

"Olette, I don't need you babying us all the time!"

"That's exactly the same thing you said before I came to your rescue! And by the way, what's the 'us'? Does Pence feel the same way?"

We both turn to Pence, who jumps before saying "Don't drag me into this!"

"Face it, Olette. You're not my mother!"

"Well, if you weren't such a childish idiot maybe I wouldn't need to take care of you all the time!"

Yeah! I called him an idiot! Because he's being a big one at the moment!

"Oh, I'm an idiot am I? And before you used to say I was smarter than I thought. Guess I was wrong!"

"I didn't mean that, Hayner! You're just being a really big jerk right now!!" I scream. Hayner looks away, red-faced. I just noticed that I wasn't cold anymore.

"A Jerk? Okay then, if I'm being such a big jerk, then why don't you just go? We don't need you to have fun!"

That hurt. That really hurt. He wanted me to go.

I wanted to say something, but if I did, I probably would've broken into tears. My throat was hurting, and I was about to cry…

"Go on, go!"

I sniffed back, not looking at him, and got up. I ran off, and started bawling my eyes out so much I could hardly see where I was going. I ran home.

----

I shut the door behind me in a big slam. I knew mum wasn't home, and neither was dad, but Josh was. I ripped off my boots and slammed them against the ground, making big grizzly noises as I through them. I threw off my jacket.

"Grrr!" I moan, stomping into the living room and jumping on the couch. I grab a pillow and push it into my face, and scream. Hayner and I hardly ever fight. Hardly ever…

I remove the pillow and see Josh standing in the arch way.

"You okay?" He asks, walking over and sitting down next to me.

"Yeah… I just had a fight with Hayner…"

"Hayner!? What did he do?? I'll…"

"No, he didn't do anything…" I knew Josh hated Hayner. I don't why though.

'What happened?" He asked.

I sighed. "We were at our usual spot, and we weren't doing anything…"

"Why didn't you come home?"

"Hayner lost his house keys, so Pence and I stayed with him to keep him company."

"Oh…"

Josh paused for a second, then cleared his throat and said, "What did he do?"

"Well, we weren't doing anything, and I asked him if we could do something, like maybe go home, and he got all angry cause he couldn't, and… we both said some awful things."

Josh sighed. "He's just a tool. Don't bother trying to be nice to him if he treats you that way."

I recoiled. "He's not a tool!"

I ran up to my room and jumped onto my bed, with my face buried into my pillow.

Hayner's POV

Dammit, Olette! Why'd you have to be so god-damn annoying!

… I did say some pretty bad things, though…

Pence is sitting on the box not saying anything. I look over to him.

"Girls, huh?" I laugh, not really meaning it, trying to lighten the mood.

Pence shakes his head. "You said some pretty bad things, Hayner. I don't know if she'll get over it."

He gets up and walks out slowly, leaving me here, all alone.

I sigh, sitting on the couch, in Olette's spot.

We don't need you to have fun!

Yeah, well played, Hayner! I just said the week before that she was good company. Man… I didn't… really mean it… I was just angry cause someone stole my keys!

Olette doesn't lecture all that much… I don't mind that much that she cares about me. I like the thought of someone looking out for me…

I lo- … like Olette. No, stop it! Stop hiding your feelings…

… I love Olette.

----

Olette's POV

I like looking after Hayner… I'm just looking out for him… does he really hate it that much?

I hear a jingling of keys.

This is all because of Hayner's stupid keys…

Keys?

What's Josh doing with keys?

I sit up on my bed, listening to the jangling. I get and walk silently towards Josh's room, and peek my head in to peer into his room.

I can see Josh holding some keys, and opening his drawers full of socks. Wait a minute…

There are two keys on that key chain… just like Hayner's! The house key and his bedroom key! And that key ring of a skateboard… it's his! Josh has Hayner's keys!! But how did he get them?

Let's see… Josh was walking with me to the milk bar when I saw Hayner. That's when he offered for me to come back to his place with Pence, and I said yes… did Josh snatch the keys so… so I couldn't go with Hayner?

I going back into my room and lie back on the bed. When I hear Josh walking down the stairs, I go into his room and take back the keys. Yep, they were Hayner's.

I'm gonna take them back to him.

Hayner's POV

Maybe I should go talk to her? Apologize? Oh, but what do I say? 'I like your babysitting'? No way… how do I tell her how I feel? Oh, just tell her! Tell her you love her!

I kick the box that Pence was sitting on when I hear footsteps.

"Are you okay?" I hear a soft, tearful voice call. It's Olette. She's still sad… I can hear it in her voice. I spin around to look at her. She's been crying.

"Olette…" I say gently, but I can't find anymore words.

"Hayner…" She said quietly, "I'm sorry for what I said… I didn't mean it… and I was wrong about you losing your keys…"

She held up my keys, right there, blowing in the strong winter winds.

"Olette, how did you-"

She took in a deep breathe and shut her eyes. "Josh took them."

"Josh!?" I almost yell. Man, I hate that guy! And he really hates me. And I don't know why!

She nodds, and takes a few steps closer, handing me the keys. "It's all his fault we had this fight… I know he doesn't like you… for some reason he didn't want me to come back to your house."

I bounce my keys around in my hand, searching for words.

"Olette… I didn't mean the things I said either… really, you don't lecture… you just take care of me… and I like the feeling of knowing that your there to protect me…"

I trail off. Is this it? Is this where I tell her how I feel?

"Olette, I…"

But my words are cut short when she hugs me.

"Thank you, Hayner…" She said. "I'm sorry too."

"No, I…" I started, but I stopped. It wasn't the right time.

"I'm really lucky to have you Olette…"

She squeezed me tighter. It's true, without Olette, where would I be now?

----

Olette's POV

We're still in an embrace, neither of us wanting to let go.

I'm so lucky to have someone like Hayner… I really do love him. I just wish he'd love me too…
