"More like how did you find me?" you both make eye contact and you smirk.

...........................................................

You have been going to Downey's house for the past week because of the project. You both got along very well. You feel like you've known him for years, you feel comfortable, you feel safe, and feel protected. You may have been gaining a crush on him, his adorable face, his plumpy lips, and oh my god his eyes, Those big brown eyes that you can stare into forever. You'd try to get rid of that feeling but every time you saw him you get butterflies, and it starts to grow, you try to move it out the way but all your brain thinks about is him. Also, Emily isn't actually a bad person, she isn't the best, but she apologized to you for her laughing at you, Britney was surprised but you accepted the apology, she said maybe you guys can be friends and you did you went out to eat once with Britney tagging along and Emily isn't so bad. You are currently laying in bed on your side, with the phone in your hands with no motivation whatsoever, you sigh and set the phone down right next to your head, and close your eyes.

"What's wrong?" Britney asked worriedly while sitting at her desk.

"Don't worry about it," you try to convince her. She didn't take your answer and came and sat on your bed and looked at you worried. You open your eyes and shriek, "For fucks sake, don't be so close to my face, you scared the living hell out of me."

"Sorry, but I'm not even that close."

"Well you're still pretty close," she rolls her eyes at your comment.

"Look," she puts a hand on your ankle, "You know you can talk to me about anything right, yeah I know we have known each other for about a week, but you can trust me." You nod your head and turn yourself so your back is on the bed. "Now, I have to get ready, I'm meeting this guy named Noah," she gets off your bed and goes to the closet, you follow right behind her, "who's this 'Noah'" you ask her. She tells you that the girl she is working with in-class has a brother and he asked her out.

"Wow, wowwwwww, okay so why didn't you just tell me this yesterday or the day he even asked you?" You act dramatic.

"He asked me yesterday y/n."

"...right...SO WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YESTERDAY?"

"BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU'D REACT," she turns around copying you. You take a deep breath, and answer back.

"Fine, okay how old is he then?"

"He's 25."

"Okay so 4 years old than you."

"Yep, he's a nice guy, he also knows Mr. Downey, he had Mr. Downey as a substitute before." She finishes dressing up and walks to the bathroom while you lean on the bathroom door.

"Okay well, what is this? A date?"

"Well, I mean I'd think so 'cause he did ask me out y/n," She states the obvious, you roll your eyes at her. "Also did you know Mr. Downey is not actually new to the school, he knows how the rules work here and is friends with the principal." She looks over at you while you tilt your head to the side in confusion.

"How do you know?"

"Well I did lie to you, I'm not really a freshman and I'm actually 25 like Noah."

"Then what did you not lie to me about, hm?"

"Alright don't get angry with me, I only said that because I had no friends, and I...I wanted to make some," she looks to the ground and you can tell she is sincere. "I'm actually a Junior."
