We Fell In Love In October

i woke up. i usually wake up to texts from the group chat and them blowing it up everytime i want to go to sleep. i also usually wake up to amber texting me which i love so dearly because it reminds me that one of my friends care about me. i say friends like that because amber is really special to me, like reallllly special. i don't know if i like her because i don't think i'm gay or whatever not that-that is a problem. i just dont think that's who i am. but i don't know it's a spectrum? right Kat and Maddy??

enough with the Euphoria. gosh i miss those sundays. anyways, i just woke up like i said. i opened my eyes and immediately turned over to open my phone and check allll my notifications, which is not healthy. i've been rooted deep into my phone and being socially liked- it's a problem.

amber texted me, i immediately smiled and clicked on her notification.

as i pull up to school i watch and study every student, every relationship, and figure out whose cute and not. "alright see ya at home? is amber giving you a ride?" sam asked, turning towards me in the driver seat. she wanted to drive me to school to have more bonding time since she's back for- i don't know how long.

"yeah- yeah, she'll give me a ride" i don't know why i said that knowing i haven't asked but i just know she'll take me home. i got out the car after saying my goodbyes looking for amber and the rest of my friends i guess.

"hey tara! good to see you today" amber ran towards me moving over to the side of me nudging my arm and switching to a british accent. "oh well nice to see you too." i said back in a british accent aswell (mine is absolutely botched and horrible) "oh god that accent is horrible carpenter" amber turned her head and made eye contact with me, i looked at her back. it was nothing weird but she just looks at me like i'm so special.

"hey! i'm not really british so why would i be good at that?" "but uhm... i told sam you'd like pick me up from school and like take me home or whatever so can you do that for me? PLEASE?" i looked at her and started to fake beg. amber looked back at me and laughed, "oh yeah sure, but like we can hang out at my house too- you know- so you don't leave me so fast" my heart was beating fast, this is new. amber has always been my bestfriend but she makes me feel these certain ways that are soooo unexplainable.

"whatever is fine with me-, if i can hang out with you" i said in a way so she knew, that she was my best friend but maybe something more. our friendship has never been the straightest in my opinion. like we're always subtly flirting with eachother and like we've kissed before as friends to just practice but all those times they were like serious and deep. i don't know maybe i'm just like gay and taking this too far. fuck. this is so complicated

"whatever is fine with me-, if i can hang out with you" i looked at tara. i didn't know how she wanted me to interpret this. she said it so subtle and smoothly like we were just friends or if she wanted something more. which wouldn't make sense because we are literally just best friends. or maybe more. i'm confused because i really like tara i do and she makes my heart and stomach do little backflips and dances whenever she looks at me straight in the eyes, touches me, hugs me, tells me "i love you", everything she does to me makes me feel nervous and gives me literally butterflies that are literally. hatching out of me.

"hm... okay tara, i'll see you at second passing" i gave her a slight smirk and whispered a tad bit to give into her energy. i felt what she was trying to push across so i played along. but we're just friends. "don't make me wait too long" she whispered back in my ear. this time making me tingle in every little spot. and i mean e-ver-y. i wanted to say something back to keep our little flirtatious moment going but instead i touched her shoulder smiling and walked over to my first period class

ohhhh my god. why the fuck did i do all that. i'm pretty sure she thought i was joking and took it like that. ugh that was so embarrassing. who cares though the way she looked down into my eyes and then leaned down to whisper in my ear. whew that made my body go hot and i don't even know why. these feelings for amber freeman were so weird and... slightly NEW. i always knew i loved... or just really liked amber, but now it's something bigger and she makes me feel every heartbeat i can. including.... yeah nvm.
