Monday

I woke up as Anyone does on a Monday morning.
Usually I would be unhappy about getting up because of what happened last night, but today I get to see dream do his tryouts and then I'm taking him for ice cream after.

I got up and got dressed, wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a blue short sleeved shirt on top and black jeans.

I went downstairs to leave seeing my mom asleep on the couch reminds me of last night
I looked at my covered arms
I regret what I did
I'm sorry Clay.

I went out the door walking to school seeing dream standing outside already
"GEORGEE"
He ran up to me and hugged me
"Hii"
I enjoyed his embrace because I missed it I wish I never came home last night

"I missed you so much"
He let go

"It hasn't even been a day y'know"

"It's still been way too long"
"Anyway wanna walk to school together?" He held his hand out

"I mean you're already here so I can't really say no now can I?"

"That wasn't even a choice for you"
He smirked

I laughed and took his hand walking to school

"Are you excited to get into the football team?"

"I might not get in y'know"

"Pftt I believe in you I know you can do it so don't doubt yourself"

"Okay Georgie thank you for believing in me"

"Don't forget I'm taking you out for ice cream after"

"ooOo an ice cream date you say?"

"Yes an ice cream date"
A light blush came onto my cheeks

We continued

"...hey uh Clay? Do you think that we can tell sap and everyone about us tomorrow?"

No response

"It's just that Tomorrow I want you to meet someone who actually helped me a lot with advice soo if word gets out that we're together it wouldn't be much of a surprise"

"Of course we can gogs we can wait as long as you want I only want you to be comfortable"

"Okay....thank you"

We finally got to school
"Okay your tryouts are right after school right?"

"Yup!"

"Okay bye now I'll be at your tryouts okay?"

"Okay byee"

I walked away and went to class

When it was lunch I went to my spot to tell Niki what happened the previous day.

I walked in and Niki wasn't here yet so I just waited and soon after a couple of minutes the door opened and there she was.

"Hey Niki!"
