» Ash's pov «

Silas, Bella and Ezra were all sitting around my living room, each scrolling through social media on their phones. As I went to set popcorn down on the table, Bella let out an awkward yelp, waving around her phone and jumping out of her seat.

'A-A-ASH LOOK AT MY PHONE'

I laugh at Bella, glancing between Silas and Ezra to see if they have any clue what's going on. Both shrugged before we all turned back to Bella. I outstretched my hand, waiting for her to hand me her phone to explain what had caused her previous outburst, but at the last second, she snatched it back.

'Wait before I show you, remind me of your biggest celebrity crush'

'Florence Pugh, you know that Bell'

'Look what Chris just posted on his Instagram story'

I almost drop Bella's phone trying to remain calm but squeals still escape my mouth as I hand Bella her phone back. My celebrity crush knew who I was and liked what I did. Silas and Ezra looked at both of us, still out of the loop.

"So you gonna tell us what happened?" Silas asked reaching for Bella's phone.

All four of us, now knowing what the exciting news was, danced around my living room before having to stop for a snack break. Silas was throwing popcorn for Ezra to catch while Milo ran around frantically trying to get the pieces they dropped. Bella pulls me to the side before I can celebrate anymore, holding both my arms in place.

"Remember Ash, she has a boyfriend"

"I know... I just got excited"

She looks at me with a sympathetic smile.

"Still doesn't mean never though..." She winks before returning to the couch with the other two, Milo jumping onto Silas' lap. I got to join them, sitting down and leaning on Ezra. As I'm about to put my phone down and grab some popcorn, I feel it buzz snd bring it back towards my face. I can't believe what I see, so I open my phone to make sure it's true.

I remember what Bella said, trying to keep my cool before typing out a response. I wasn't going to tell the other about this yet, it was just a message of appreciation.

Satisfied with my answer, I hit send before returning to the group. To wind me up, Ezra had put Lady Macbeth on the TV, the thunder from the movie making me jump as we all sat and watched. It was playing so loud I didn't hear the buzzing from my phone as it shook on the coffee table.
