Billy and Max's relationship has grown a lot since I was last here. It's been two weeks since we've played Never Have I Ever. This is my first time back at their house because they usually hang out at my house, and I've been working late at the arcade.
I walk into their house to see them both in the kitchen eating breakfast together.
"What's up Max," I say.
"Oh hey, Y/N!" she responds.
"Hey Billy," I smile.
"Hey," he smirks.
Max finishes her toast and grabs her backpack.
"Ready?" I ask Max.
"Yeah!"
I nod, and Max looks toward Billy.
"Hey, uh, did you want to come with us to the arcade after school?" Max asks.
We sit in awkward silence as Billy thinks about it.
"Sure," he says.
He grabs his backpack, and we walk out together. Billy gets in his car, and Max and I walk across the street to mine. I pop in the album Zed Zepplin IV. Max and I get to school, and she waves goodbye as she skates over to her school.

I sit by Robin as usual in homeroom.
"What's up Ro," I say.
"Not a lot," she responds.
"Same here."
"How are things with Billy?" she asks.
"Pretty good," I respond.
I try to hide my smile, but she sees right through me.
"You're like totally in love with him," she smiles.
"Stop," I laugh.
"No! What's been happening with you guys?" she asks.
"Nothing! Just the usual stuff," I smile.
She examines my face closely, and her eyes widen.
"What?" I ask in concern.
"Oh my god," she laughs.
"I'm so confused what are we laughing about?" I ask.
"You slept together," she mouthes.
I hold my hands over my face to hide my smile. I feel Robin playfully punch my shoulder. I look up at her, and she is smirking at me.
"How do you feel about that," I hesitate.
"Part of me still wants to punch him in the face. The other part of me, however, is happy that you are happy."
I nod and sigh.
"You know I've yet to see what you see in him," she says.
"Don't worry I still want to punch him in the nose sometimes too" I utter.
Robin laughs, and I hear a chuckle beside me. I forgot Billy was in this class. I look around, and nobody else can hear our conversation. I sigh in relief and look at Billy. He's smirking at me, and I flip him off.
"Hey, you're the one talking about me," he smirks.
"Shut it," I groan.
I turn back to Robin, and her face is red from holding her laugh.
"You knew he was listening?" I gasp.
"No, I just happened to see him looking at you while we were talking," she replies sarcastically.
