Athena's POV
Two days passed, I did my best to ignore him. I could tell he was a little sad about it. But I couldn't let myself get carried away. I like to talk...a lot. It's kinda annoying but it's a part of me. I know if I even get 10 minutes alone with him I'd be ranting about my fanpage.
"Athena, we're going to the cafe...you wanna come or should I leave you like I have the past two days?" "Uhm, I guess it won't hurt to go out" she smiled, leaving me to it. "Melanie I'm screwed, please come, it's gonna be so weird" she sighed, shaking her head.
"I can't, I have work. Also if you didn't wanna go why'd you say yes?" "She's been trying to get me to hang out with them for the past two days" I picked clothes from my closet, something simple.
Me and Mel continued to talk as I got ready, buttoning up my cardigan before tucking in the front. I looked at myself in the mirror, satisfied. "You look good, i have to go! Tell me how it goes"
I zipped up my boots, going out of my room awkwardly. "Oh, we were dressing up?" Ashley looked at us weirdly. She was still wearing her pajamas. "You know what, you two go! Y'all haven't talked at all" I remember thinking...I'm about to beat this bitch up...
"Is that okay with you?" Conan asked me. "Oh yea, sure" I smiled. We headed out the door, getting into Conan's car. "Sorry if I'm making the space weird by the way, I'll be gone in-" "you're apologizing because...?"
"Oh- I just thought you were uncomfortable around me" "no...it's just that uhm, you remind me of someone from a long time ago and it just messes with my brain. Also I think you and Ash should hang you as much as you can?"
"I think I see her enough" he laughed. "She definitely thinks the opposite" we talked about Ashley and the little things that she does. I guess he wasn't really awkward, I was the one making it that way.
The cafe we went too had a little gift shop. He got something for Ashley but he had his eye on this little pendent. So obviously I secretly bought it for him. He had good taste, it was a coin like charm with a little forest engraved on it. Very Taylor Swift vibes.
"Did you go to the Highschool here? I don't think I ever saw you" I shook my head. "I moved here from Huston, my parents work or something and I kinda like how quiet it is soo...I stayed" I stirred the sugar into my coffee. I felt his eyes staring into my soul, he's kinda weird but I'm glad I'm getting even a bit less awkward with him.
"Hey uhm...did you ever have like a popular instagram page? My heart practically froze, but sure I have someway out of this. "Oh em... i did run like a "aesthetic" account with one of my friends in middle school" god, I'm such good liar. "You're such a bad liar" oh.
"I like to make people think that" I'm so smart, backing myself up. "My friends would love you" he giggled. We spent almost two hours at the cafe just talking. No wonder I used to be so obsessed with him, he's so easy going and nice. He's not stuck up and if he is it's always a joke, he's so...hmm perfect?
"You two have fun?" Ashley sat on the couch with a smirk. Conan walked away with his head down, I just nodded. "You clearly did, Y'all left me for almost 3 hours" me and cone giggled, knowing we did it on purpose.

"Hey...You promised me you were gonna go a month ago" Ashley dragged me out of bed, Conan enjoying the view by the door. "Conannn ugh, convince her to let me stay home." About a month ago Ashley convinced me to participate in an elders dance. Like a prom for the elders in one of the retirement homes here.
