I sat in my car looking down at my phone I entered discord and saw that quite a few people were online. Except "Maxarker" who which was I believe Nicholas. I started texting with Maria and Charlene in the car but soon both of them had to leave so i just entered tiktok. I got bored pretty quickly though so instead i decided to think about my school day. Nothing too remarkable except obviously... him... I dont know if I believe in love at first sight though, that's kinda far fetched for me... but hes so amazing...

I got home from school and I sat down at my table to eat because my mom had made me food.

"How was school today? Was it fun? I know it was your first day so it was probably stressful!"
She said trying to strike up conversation, kind of a weird time to ask me about school though, I was starving.
"It was good mom. I enjoyed seeing my friends and new people."
"Thats good! Sooner or later you'll make new friends too."
"Hopefully" I said while standing up and leaving, I needed to shower and do my homework before i enter the VC tonight.

After showering I went online on discord. I saw Maria and Charlene online, strange... usually they aren't online at this time. I checked the discord server that we had made during school.

emclly, xcacadoo, sym, charlene and maria were online and they were all in a VC. I decided to join it as well because, well because why not?

I joined it and, for the least it was chaotic but awkward at the same time, the awkwardness you feel when its your first call with someone, or the awkwardness you feel when your alone with someone who you dont know very well. But chaotic in the sense that, when someone speaks everyone else starts speaking, and speaking, and speaking, until it doesnt feel awkward anymore and its just a bunch of people talking like friends.

I was just talking and having fun with all these people when suddenly i noticed Gilbert went online. Oh god, if he joins the VC i'll become so awkward... I want to know more about him though so... maybe I really wouldn't mind? WHAT AM I SAYING? Of course I would! I'd become dry and I'd probably stop talking. Or not? Oh my goodness, why can't you just make up your mind Julianne! Do you want to talk to him or not!

I looked back at the screen. Giuliana was mid sentence when...
*ding*
HE JOINED. OF COURSE HE DID.
"What who was that?" Said Giuliana in a confused tone.
"Oh Gilbert joined." Said Marco
"Hi Gilbert" replied Emily
"Hi" Maria and Charlene responded
"Hola" Said Gilbert

His voice. It sounded like a million birds singing in their best tones. It sounded like a cold christmas morning with hot chocolate. It sounded like a picnic on a warm afternoon under a cherry blossom tree. I've never heard a voice quite like it...

"Oh hey! Also I'll be right back" I said. It was a lie. I didnt need to go, I muted myself but I didnt leave the VC. What was I supposed to say now that he was here? What if I said something wrong, and his opinions on me changed for the worse? What if he found me stupid or even worse, annoying? I didnt want to keep vcing but if I had any chance with him at all I was going to have to communicate one way or another. Wait... WHAT!? Did i just say "any chance with him"?! What am i talking about! He's just a normal boy i dont even like him!.. that much...

Whatever it's okay... I can unmute its not much of a deal. If he thinks im annoying then so be it. What am I kidding, I will be upset yes but It's nothing too big, the sole reason I'm here is to make friends after all. I unmuted

"Hi guys I'm back sorry I had to do something, anyways hi Gilbert!" I said
"that's fine" said marco
"its okay" said emily and giuliana
"gilberts been pretty silent" remarked charlene
"true" said maria
"oh hi sorry," replied Gilbert

Hes been silent huh... thats funny. Sometimes i wish i could see whats going on in peoples heads. Like just know what theyre thinking about. I wish i could do that right here right now, with gilbert... maybe thats not such a good idea though. I wouldnt want my feelings to get hurt either.

I began talking more with Gilbert and the people and I started warming up more but for some reason they all seemed a little more quiet

-Emily's POV-

I stopped talking in the VC that much, now the only people talking are Gilbert, Julianne and sometimes or every once in a while someone else. From what I'm hearing though it has to be some sort of flirting between them, they act so nice around each other its kinda cute. When the other one is talking it seems like the other one is listening full heartedly and never gets bored.

Im starting to think that these people like each other. Julianne and Gilbert. They'd be a nice couple though, you know i should make a gc with everyone else in this VC to see if they feel the same way. They probably do because Im not the only one thats stopped talking, most of us too. Or maybe theyre just distracted, but either way I'll create a group chat.

Welcome to the beginning of the emclly, xcacadoo, mariadh, Sym and charlene group.

emclly: DO U GSUYS THINK GILBERT AND JULAINE LIKE EAVH OTHER OR JUST ME
Sym: YES
xcacadoo: YES I SHIP IT
mariadh: YEAH WE SHIPPP
charlene: what
charlene: OHH YEAH
Sym: we were literally saying to gilbert if julianne was his girlfriend at dismissal
emclly: wait REALLY
mariadh: HAHAHAHA
xcacadoo: HAHAHAHAAH DID HE SAY HE LIKED JULIANNE
charlene: DID HE??
Sym: NO HE DIDNT HE LITERALLY WALKED AWAY

Yeah Gilbert definitely likes Julianne, theres no doubt about it. Just the way they talk to each other is giving it away. I hope they confess soon.

xcacadoo: anyways i have to go shower so ill have to leave the VC
