does she like me?

Y/N POV

You spotted C/N on the playground at recess, so you decided its a good idea to go say hi. 

"Hey Y/N!" C/N said when you approached
"Hi!" you replied.  You sat in silence.
"So, uh, how's life?" C/N asked you.
"Meaningful."
"Why?"
"Because of you." you replied sheepishly, not really thinking about it. Embarrassed, you both sat in silence once again. Darn it.
"Um, mine's meaningful because of you too" C/N suddenly said. By then, you had turned red again. C/N patted you on the head and smiled.

"Oh! Bye, Em is calling!!" You said quickly and ran out of the playground and hid in a bush. WHAT THE  WAS THAT AHH !! Is it possible to die from embarrassment..? You sat on the dirt, complicating life at its finest.

Lauren POV

"Heh, my scheme is coming along well." Lauren mused, with your bestie, Em, who is very gay. One might think she rubbed off of you and you became a lesbian.  

"Hey! I thought this was MY plan! After all I AM setting them up " Em scoffed, crossing her arms and pushing against the bench in anger. 

"Whatever, its gonna end up the same anyways!" Lauren said.  

"Sure it well, I'm so sure." Em said sarcastically, knowing the ending is gonna end up in rejection. She found the whole thing a bit ridiculous. They were watching the scene unfold from the playground to the bush. 

"Hold on, wait!" Lauren ran to C/N, who was following Y/N to the bush. If she hears Y/N ranting, everything is going to be toast! Em yawned and stood up, stretching.

"Yeah, hold on C/N." She called from behind. Poor girl was so confused.
"What's up Lauren, Em?" She asked, turning back around.

"I'll handle Y/N, dear" Em said like a proud aunt. "I've got this, this happens all the time."
"But, she said you called for her...?" C/N asked, even more confused and holding onto Lauren's arm in mild shock.
