did this girl just say she likes one of my friends? I swear if she means mark i'm gonna ball my eyes out. I don't think she knows we kissed I guess ? we aren't particularly dating but I don't think we would work out if nai likes him. oh shoot i've been staring at her for like two minutes I should reply-

"well who is it ?" I say, trying to sound cheerful.

"to- tommy." she says, quietly.

"WHAT HOW DID THIS HA-" I yell, before she covers my mouth.

"let me explain." she hushed, while I tried to process it all. how could I not see this coming ? they live together and haven't been apart since tomás went to college.

"okay so you know how last night when you guys arrived, or when I met you at least- he just latched onto me? that's usually normal but my stomach was filled with butterflies doing flips. I haven't felt this way since- literally ever. but that's besides the point. so last night when we watched the movie, he decided to just go ahead and kiss my forehead like a minute before I fell asleep. what is that supposed to mean?" she explained, taking a second to inhale and exhale.

"like does he like me? does he want to be more than friends? like he's sending very mixed signals. but than again I don't even know if I like him! is that normal? I don't know." she finished, while I was at a loss for words.

"I- I don't know. i've known this kid my whole life and never seen him like this. well once but that was in third grade, and we're gonna continue on from that- but that's besides the point. I think he might but than again i'm not the best with feelings." I answer truthfully. she sits there processing what I said, looking deep in thought.

"yes mark I like her." I say, hoping mark would help. i've liked naomi for a couple months. the way her dark hair covers her porcelain skin, coated with light freckles that are only seen in the sun. her chocolate brown eyes glisten in the light. everything about her is perfect.

"I don't know man. I didn't exactly expect this." he says, almost at a loss for words.

"well what do I do? i've liked her forever, i've just never told her. sure, i've dropped plenty of hints, but was that enough? it's been months and she still hasn't noticed." I rant, annoyed about feelings.

"on that note, I say make a move! if she doesn't like you back, her loss! it's almost summer break, so we should plan a trip. and on that trip, I will help you tell her." mark assures, I could see he genuinely wanted to help.

i'm just gonna go to the kitchen and make some tea. it's way to early for energy drinks anyways.

I heat up some water and dropped in the tea bag, and let it soak. (I have never made tea before so i'm just assuming-)

I sat at the kitchen island finishing my tea, while I scrolled through reddit. than I realised, summer vacation starts tomorrow, but it's sunday? so I guess summer starts on a monday. ironic.

I walk to my room, seeing grace and nai having a light conversation. I wonder what their talking about. I shut my door, locking it in hopes no one would see what i'm doing. I pull out my laptop, and go onto qantas airlines, and book 9 tickets to brighton.
