Now or Never

Chapter 7: Stars

I fluttered my eyes open, waking up and looked at the time on my phone. I woke up early, as always. I probably should just throw my alarm clock, it's completely useless at this point.

I stood up from my bed and left it unmade for I am too lazy to do it. I ate my breakfast -just basic cereal- and did my normal morning routine. I wore my gray hoodie with a supreme logo in the middle.

I sat on the couch for a minute, sulking on my phone waiting for time to pass. I stood up to go to my car, but I felt my phone softly vibrate in the insides of my pocket.

I looked at the name, but was met instead with numbers. So I opened the conversation and saw a message saying 'hey!'. I responded with a quick 'who is this?'.

The person quickly responded with 'its Clay' like he was waiting for me to reply. I sat on the stool in the white kitchen island, and I responded with 'why'd you message me, Clay?'. As I was waiting for a response I changed the contact name into 'Clay😳😩😏'. I laughed at the silly name and my phone vibrate.

He replied with 'I wanted to hang out with youuuuuuu'. I can imagine him in the couch, laying on his back and face, pouting. I giggled at the reply. I can already feel the burning sensation going up onto my ears. 'How 'bout school?' I responded.

'Fuck school!!!'. I laughed at his response. 'Okay, where?' I asked him. 'Idk, uhh, how about your house?' He responded to my question.

I said 'okay' and sent him my address. I messaged Sapnap, my only best friend that I'm not going to school for today and told him that Clay's gonna come over. He tried to hype me up, which surprisingly worked and gave me some words of wisdoms, being himself.

Fifteen(15) minutes later, I heard the doorbell rang. I shot up to look at the front door and felt my heart took speed. My whole body filled with adrenaline rush and euphoria. I brush my hair with my fingers and checked my breath if it smells good.

I walked towards the door and stood there before sighing. I opened the door, and was immediately wrapped with a warm hug. Revealing a tall man, blonde hair, freckles scattered neatly all over his face, and golden eyes. He was wearing a black hoodie with a white doodly smiley face on it.

I hugged him back, savoring the moment for maybe this is the last time this will ever happen and welcomed him to come inside my house.

"You have a really nice house!" He complimented and I responded with a soft grin and a quiet 'thank you'.

We sat on the couch for a minute looking at each other's eyes, admiring our beautiful features. His eyes sparkles like the stars in the night sky full of hope and adoration.

"What'd you wanna do?" I asked, broking the silence. Still looking at each other's eyes.

"I don't know, what do you wanna do?" He said emphasizing the word 'you'.

"Let's just watch movies, I want to relax-" Clay cut me off "and cuddles?" Looking at me with puppy eyes. "You're such an idiot" I rolled my eyes, heart picking up more pace.

I took the remote control on the coffee table and turned the TV on. I scrolled for a movie to watch.

"Have you watched 365 days?" I asked Clay and I noticed that his arms are now wrapped around me. I leaned into the touch, taking the other's heat. He raised his eye brows looking at me, eyes widening and started to laugh.

"What?!" I crossing my arms together and pouted. He started laughing more and turned into a fit of wheezes.

He stop the fit, wiping tears in his eyes with his index finger.
