y/n's pov

My backpack almost slipped off as the three of us danced down the road, making our way to the diner where we spend most of our time.

It was one of those times where Syd smiled and laughed a lot, which made me happy.

We all sat at our usual booth and ordered milkshakes each and some fries before Dina started talking about her love life. At least one of us has one.

"So, I'm standing there, trying to get by, and he's all like, "Oh, who's the new girl in town?" And I'm like, "Shut up. It's me, Dina."

"Wait, this is Brad... Lewis?"

"Yeah." Dina sighed dreamily. "He's sort of sweet, you know?"

"The same Brad Lewis who was making sex jokes in class today?"

"Shh. And then, he asked me to homecoming."

"Wait, and... and you accepted?"

"No. I told him to take his washboard abs and chiseled jawline and get out of my face." We stared at Dina blankly. "Yeah, of course I said yes!"

"Oh— Oh, my god." It was like something suddenly clicked in Syd's brain. "You had sex with him, didn't you?"

Dina struggled to keep in her laughter.

"Holy shit! No way! Holy shit!"

"You gave Bradley Lewis your v-card?" My jaw dropped as she shooshed me.

"Please tell me you used a condom, because—"

Dina cut Syd off. "Yes, of course. I know!"

"So, what are you guys like... suddenly girlfriend and boyfriend or something?"

"I mean, we haven't put a label on it yet, but... I really like him, okay?"

Syd seemed to be grimacing beside me as she took a sip of her drink.

"Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. Sure, I get it." She replied.

"Just give him a chance."

I failed to fight off the urge to scoff and Dina rolled her eyes.

"Oh, come on, guys, there's got to be someone you sort of like. Just a little."

"I don't know. I just guess I haven't really thought about it." Syd said.

"Well, think about it."

I had certainly thought about it.

After around... I don't know. Maybe six months after becoming friends with him, I one hundred percent had a crush on Stanley Barber.

But after becoming friends with Syd and Dina, I hadn't hung around with him as much recently.

"Y/N?" I look up to see Dina waving a hand in front of my face.

"Huh?"

"Did you hear what I said?"

"What part?"

"I said, maybe if you guys thought about it, we can all go to homecoming together, like a triple date!"

"Hey, babe." Bradley Lewis slid into the seat beside Dina.

"Hey!"

"Sorry I'm late." He said, kissing the side of her head.

"All good, babe."

God, I already want to throw up.

Syd gave me this look that screamed "shoot me right now."
