"girl, you're so much more than gorgeous
So much more than perfect."
In which...
Baylen Levine's best friend, Evelyn Summers, a girl who loves her friends more than anything, falls for one of them.
My eyes slowly open, and I see Evelyn asleep next to me. She had fallen asleep in my room last night, and I feel asleep quickly after her.
I quietly get up, and make my way downstairs.
"Morning." Baylen says, as he sits at the counter eating.
"Morning." I smile tiredly and walk into the kitchen to get food.
"Why wasn't Evelyn in her bed last night?" Baylen asks with a smirk.
"She fell asleep in my room." I say.
"You sure you're just friends?" Baylen asks.
"What else would we be?" I laugh.
"I don't know, it just seems like you see her as more than a friend." Baylen shrugs.
"Are you saying you think I like Evelyn?" I laugh.
"That's exactly what i'm saying!" Baylen laughs.
"I don't." I say.
"Look, Ive never seen a guy who cares about a girl as much as you care about Evy and say you guys are 'just friends.'" Baylen says. "And maybe you just haven't realized it yet, but you guys are meant for each other."
"I- what? No!" I hesitate. "No it's...it's not like that."
"Then why are you hesitating?" Baylen laughs.
"I don't know!" I sigh.
"You'll figure it out eventually." Baylen says.
"Baylen," I say. "I'm not into her."
"Or you just haven't realized it." Baylen smirks.
"Realized what?" Evelyn asks as she walks into the kitchen.
"Nothing." I say immediately with a smile. "How'd you sleep?"
"Good." She smiles. "Sorry I fell asleep in your bed."
"Don't worry about it. I didn't mind." I smile as Baylen smirks, and I just roll my eyes.
"Do you guys wanna see what I got Noah for his birthday?" Baylen asks.
"Sure." I say.
"Yeah." Evy replies.
Baylen takes out his phone, and shows us a picture of a giant truck with an American flag and Eagle on it.
"Jesus christ." I laugh.
Noah had always been super country, and we always made fun of him.
Evelyn POV
"I love it and hate it." I laugh.
"I was thinking we'll show it to him once he's awake, then drive it around for a while and mess around." Baylen says. "The truck is in the walmart parking lot right now."
"That sounds good." I smile.

@evysummers: is this why you needed my phone 😭 | @lilpeej: yes
"Noah you ready?" Baylen asks.
Noah thought we were just going to walmart to mess around, which was partly true.
"Yes sir." Noah says.
We all go get in Baylen's car, with Noah and Baylen in the front seat, and me and Peej in the back.
We get to the walmart, and go screw around inside.
Baylen was connecting to speakers playing moaning noises, and eventually Kyle even showed up to mess around with us.
Unsurprisingly, we eventually get kicked out.
"Holy shit look." Peej whispers, as he points to the truck for Noah in the parking lot.
"It's even worse in person!" I whisper as we both giggle.
"Bro look at this truck!" Baylen laughs to Noah.
"Nothing like seeing people celebrating freedom." Noah says in a country accent, making us all laugh.
"We gotta take a picture." Baylen says.
He hands me his phone, and I take a picture of Baylen and Noah outside of the truck.
"Did you get it?" Baylen asks.
"Yeah." I smile.
"Here you go." Baylen smiles as he hands Noah the keys.
"Thank you man." Noah laughs as they quickly hug.
After a few hours, we go home.
We had spent those hours driving around, with Kyle, Baylen, and Noah in the truck and Peej and I in the bed of the truck.
"You know what we should do again?" Peej asks as we go upstairs.
"Hm?" I ask.
"Sit on the roof." Peej smiles.
Peej and I used to go lay on the roof when we couldn't sleep, but now that spot was really important to us, that we spend a lot of time up there at night. We would lay there for hours just opening up to each other.
"I'm down." I smile.
The house was silent, everyone was asleep. And if there was one thing about Baylen, he loved his sleep, and one of the few times he will get mad is when his sleep is interrupted.
We quietly go into the hallway, and go out onto the balcony.
From there, we climb onto the railing and then onto the roof.
Peej lays down, and I lay down directly next to him, pressing up against him, being hit with the cold air.
Florida was always hot during the day, but cold at night.
"You cold?" He asks.
"Yeah, I forgot my jacket." I laugh.
"Here." He smiles as he takes off his hoodie, and hands it to me.
"You sure?" I ask.
"Positive." He smiles.
"Thanks." I smile as I put it on.
Peej POV
Something about seeing her in my hoodie made me rethink the conversation I had with Baylen earlier. Was I catching feelings?
Because if I am, it's not good. Catching feelings for my best friend is not good.
Except one thing. I felt like I was falling in love with her. Not just catching feelings.
