This chapter was so 🤢 so I decided to edit it because it was seriously keeping me up at night. Anyways I like it much better now.

I'm out with lily and Blake. Blake thinks that I like lily so he invited her to get smoothies. I'm not complaining tho because I do like her presence. Something about her is comforting.

She's nice and funny and I love the way her cheeks blush. I always catch her staring at me.

At first I thought maybe she didn't like my tattoos. I thought she was judging me.

I realized that she's just observing me. I think she might find me attractive. I hate the way that I hope she finds me attractive.

I don't mind the staring. In fact in some weird way I look forward to my mornings because I walk into homeroom and there she is sitting in her usual spot trying to avoid my eyes at all cost. Then when I catch her staring at me during class she turns a cute shade of red and looks away embarrassed.

It amuses me that she gets nervous and blushes at the simplest things. It's cute.

I don't know how I feel about her yet. I like her presence and I like talking to her. She's really pretty, like beautiful.

She was all sweaty. I'm guessing from going on a run. She did say that she goes on jogs during her free time. She was wearing biker shorts and a sports bra.

I think I almost had a stoke when I saw her. She's ridiculously hot.

She usually hides her small body  in baggy clothes so I was pleasantly surprised with all the skin she was showing.

So again when I tell you I almost died when I saw her only wearing a sports bra and biker shorts I wouldn't be exaggerating.

I don't think she even noticed the way I was gawking at her.

I can't believe Blake is trying to set me up. As much as I appreciate him trying to help he's just making things awkward with the way he's practically throwing me at her.

Anyways my train of thought was cut off  by Emily's annoying voice. Emily likes me so she's probably just jealous of lily being accompanied by me.

Lily told Emely we were leaving so Blake and I nodded.

" I'm sorry about that.I genuinely don't know what her problem with me is." Lily said while nervously running her hands through her hair.

" Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. Let's just go to a different place." I suggested.

"Yeah, we could just go to another place." Blake said while also offering Lily a smile.

"I have to get home, but maybe another time." Lily says.

"Yeah, no problem." Blake says. I didn't know what to say so I just nodded.

We're back at the park at this point and I see lily fixing her AirPods and tapping something on her phone.

"Ok, well nice to meet you," Lily says to Blake and then glanced up at me, "See you in home room Alex." I could tell she started to blush. I love the way my name sounds coming out of her mouth.

"Yeah, see you."I said while giving her a small smile. We were still holding eye contact so she glanced away quickly and said, "Ok, bye." Then she pressed something on her phone stuffed it in the waistband and jogged of.

I watched her until she turned the corner like the creep I am. I look at Blake and he's just smirking at me like an idiot.

"What?" I ask.
Blake has his eyebrows raised "Dude, you have to tell her. At this point it's just sad. You literally watched her like a creep when she was jogging away."

"Tell her what?" I asked ignoring the last part.

Blake just looked at me like I just grew two heads. " You obviously like her."

" I don't know about that. I mean yeah she's obviously beautiful but I don't know if I like her."

Blake just furrowed his eyebrows at me and laughed. "Ok, riiiiiight so you were practically drooling the entire time she was with us but you don't like her."

"Ok fine." I run my hand in my hair. "I like her..... Jesus, I sound like I'm 12 years old."

Blake laughs.
