Chapter 16 - Kiss, Kiss, Fall in Love

Y/n's POV

You woke up the next morning extremely early. It was 6:34 AM when you checked the clock, and the sun was not up yet. Groaning, you try to go back to sleep, but you just can't for some reason.

Since you can't sleep, you decide to go in the kitchen and get yourself a glass of water. Or just chill on the balcony until everyone is awake.

5 minutes later of scrolling on your phone sitting on the balcony lawn chair, you get bored. The dads snoring on the couch is getting annoying, too. You could hear them from all the way to your bedroom.

You walk back to your room, planning to just lay in bed and play on your device there. But wait. Something's happening. There's noise coming from inside the room.

Putting your head against the door, you listen carefully. It sounds like Player's on the phone with someone. What is he doing up so early?

"I think y/n woke up already, she just left," you hear Player say. A strange voice comes out from his device. "I didn't know they were an early riser. Don't you have a crush on them?"

What is this mysterious person & Player talking about?! "Ugh, I don't know. They're cool, funny, nice, cute, so many adjectives could describe them. My heart's playing around with me though. All my thoughts run around in circles when I think about them, and it's complicated. I think my feelings are toying with me. I'm not sure..."

"Love is complicated, Player, but it'll come around within time," someone with a different voice responded. "The thing is, y/n told me she liked me as a friend. I mean like, I'm glad I am her friend, at least it isn't anything less than that," Player added.

Huh?!? You cannot believe what you are hearing right now. Another different voice said, "Woah, you got friendzoned? That sucks man. Must be tough."

"I guess I am in the friendzone, but it's better than not being friends with them. I have no chances anyway. Who would like me more than a friend?! Wait, why am I even worried about this? I don't like them that way! At least, I don't think so," Player dictated.

Your body fills with shock. You are so surprised, in fact, that you accidentally lose your balance against the door & trip. You didn't hurt yourself, but you did make a loud thudding noise.

"What was that?" Player questioned. Uh oh. You just blew your cover. Quickly, you run to the balcony and open the glass door, throwing yourself out onto the balcony. You close the door and hide behind a wall, trying to not make a sound.

After a couple of seconds, you hear Player faintly say, "huh. That's strange." You wait for a few more seconds before leaving the balcony, letting out a huge breath.

That was a close one. You didn't know what you would do if Player caught you eavesdropping on his conversation. That's a relief.

But now you are bamboozled. That call, that whole convo... so much new information has been made out of it. You recollect all the info you just heard, and you try to sort it out in your head.

First of all, Player might have a crush on you. A crush?! On you?! He said you were funny, cool, and nice. He even called you cute. Oh my gosh! He called you cute!

Second, Player has mixed feelings about you. He doesn't actually know if he has a crush on you or not, and he thinks his mind is playing tricks on him. Did you accidentally cast a spell on Player's brain?!

Third of all, you friendzoned him. You unintentionally, negatively, friendzoned Player. Since you were in such a wreck to answer his question from yesterday, you said you liked him as a friend. What a mistake that was! Now Player's feelings are hurt all because of you.
