Chapter 51. Yes, I’ll Be Your Girlfriend

June POV

I couldn’t apologize. Leila didn’t even give me the chance. She left before I woke up, and now the weight of it presses on my chest. How am I supposed to fix this?

And Chris-God, Chris. His confession still hangs in my head like a thread twisted through the eye of a needle, stuck and impossible to ignore. I wish I hadn’t read it.

Isn’t it too fast? Maybe not. Maybe it’s just because Chris actually knows what he wants-unlike a certain someone. How dare he even transfer-

“Is this shade of red suitable for you?” Lia’s voice finally cuts through my thoughts. She’s been asking me the same question for who knows how long.

“Uh,” I answer absent-mindedly, catching a glimpse of my half-done face in Lia’s dressing mirror.
