Journal Entry # 21 Wednesday 2019
I entered the building, staring at the ground, as usual. I looked up as I passed the Cafeteria in the Commons. Orion was leaning against a pillar by the under-the-stairs hallway. I blinked. Is that.. is this real?
He was wearing a bright yellow shirt with the logo of a place I've never heard of, accompanied by his black emo jacket. My heart skipped a beat. "Orion?" I said as I approached him. He looked up from his phone. "Oh hey." He said happily. We walked over to the brick wall. I gave a surprised look. "Uh.. what's with uh.." I moved my hand in the air at his shirt. "That..?" He looked down. "Oh yeah." He said, sliding down to the floor. I slid down next to him. "I dunno, I just thought I should try it. My mom was surprised,- I haven't worn colors since Odette,- and she took a picture with her phone."
I blinked. "Wow.." I studied his shirt. "Why start now?"
"You.." He said, a tone of love in his voice.
He paused.
"Willow?"
I looked up, and he wrapped his arms around me. "I love you." My heart pinged, and blush crept across my cheeks. "I love you too, Orion."
