20| The Sleep Over

Journal Entry #21 Saturday 2018

I sat on my bed, playing on my phone. Luna walked into my room. "Hey." She said. I looked up. "Hi." I said happily.
My green screen was set up in the center of my room, and it was out completely, covering the right side horizontally. "Woah." Luna said, noticing the huge green screen. I looked around. "My grandparents gave it to me last Christmas." I said. "I was really into trying to make cool videos and photos with backgrounds. Now though, I don't really know what to do with it. I don't want it wasting away in my closet, so.." I trailed off. Luna smiled and ran her hand across the fabric surface. "That's cool." She said.

"I-I don't know, Lulu.." I said, holding my phone in hesitation. Luna sat on the floor that  covered by the long green screen. "Oh come on. Pleeease?" She begged. I looked at her. Her eyes got big. Mine widened. "Oh no.. Don't..-" I began, holding my pointer finger up in warning. "Don't-"

She whimpered, Her eyes big, pleading. I dropped my finger and looked to the side. "-Beg.." I breathed in and sighed. I looked at my best friend. "Mmm.. fine!" I said.

She smiled mischievously. I shook my head and opened my phone. I texted Dallas; a second later he called my phone, and I answered. "H-Hey." I said, my nerves returning.

I glared at Luna. She nodded and I put Dallas on speaker. "Uhm, my friend is here, on a sleep over and she uh.. wanted to ask you something.." I said, turning to the chubby faced brunette on the floor.

"So..Are you two like.. dating? " Luna gasped. "Are you Low-low's boyfriend??" Her face glowed and she smiled in anticipation. I sat stunned, gaping at her. I felt my face get warm, and blush forming at my cheeks.

Dallas was silent for a second. "I-..I consider me her b-boyfriend.." He stuttered. I touched my hand to my hot cheek. " Gee Lulu, I think you gone and made the boy nervous!" I said a bit humorous. Luna put her hands on her hips. "Me? " She laughed. "You're the one he's nervous about!" She said.

I shrugged. I set the phone down on the flat end of the bed frame. "So? I didn't ask him personal questions!" I said. Luna huffed. "You're supposed to get personal! Especially with the one you love!"

I stopped, closing my mouth. Dallas got quiet. I looked down. "You are?" I asked. Luna stood up and sat on my bed next to me. Her expression sympathetic. "Yes." She said. "I.. didn't know that.." I said quietly. "I never really had a 'real relationship' before.." Luna looked at me, placing her hand on my back. "Hey. you'll get it. "

I looked up at her. "What if I don't? you know, what if I mess up, like with.. -" I looked to the side. "Briar.." She moved my face to hers. " Then move on,..even if it hurts. It just means they weren't right for you, not that you did something wrong." I smiled a bit. "Thanks." The phone made noise and we both jumped. "Holy shit, I forgot!" I grabbed my phone. "Low-low?" Dallas said. I looked at Luna. "I love you.." My eyes widened. "I-.." I began. Luna took my phone. "Oh shit, your phones at 1 percent, Will-" Luna cut off, hanging up the phone. I blinked. "Thanks Lulu." I said. She handed me back my phone. "Do you love him?" She asked carefully.

I stopped. 'I..-" She held up a hand. "Save the lies and excuses, Willow. Do you actually love Dallas?" She asked a bit strongly. I looked down. No. He's my friend. I don't know him. What am I supposed to say? I don't want to hurt anyone. "Low-low?" I looked back at Luna.

"I-..I'm sorry."

Luna scooted closer to me and hugged me. I leaned into her and cried. "It's okay." Luna replied. "Just.. don't lead him on though." How do I tell him? What do I tell him? Ohhh! why did I have to go and kiss him??
