Everyday like clockwork, your friend group at the Career Academy would start your day off by making unnecessary comments about the supposed “ connection “ you seemed to have with your sparing partner, Cato Hadley. They claimed that not only did the two of you look like a good couple, but you guys acted like one too. However, much to their overall dismay, you casually shrugged off their accusations, claiming that you and Cato were simply just friends. Simply just..

Really.

Good.

Friends.

Of course, it wouldn’t take long for news to travel around and make its way towards Cato, because as far as your friends were concerned, they believed there was more to the story than you were letting on. But unfortunately for them, the only thing Cato did was confirm the worst, as he stated that you two were again, just friends.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Begrudgingly, your friend group reluctantly decided to let everything go once their failed confrontation with Cato took place, but little did they know.. they were about to find out in due time that they had every right to be suspicious.

“You say we’re just friends.” Cato murmured, “But last time I checked, friends don’t go on dates. Not the ones we go on at least.” He sent you a wink, indirectly telling you what he truly meant by his statement.
