"baby i know, that sometimes i'm bad at the usual. i really miss talking on the phone at night, well there's a storm tonight"

that night i still couldn't get her off of my mind. i still hadn't figured out how i was going to make it up to her.

in the other classes we shared she definitely saw me looking at her, i was so fucking embarrassed.

i tried my best to stay calm but i couldn't, i just had to get my mind off of things so i decided to just play some music.

i put my playlist on shuffle and a song came up. it was my favorite song, i had been listening to since i was little because my dad introduced it to me. i had completely forgotten about it because i hadn't listened to it in such a long time.

it was called "ariannah" great, just my luck. it's like everywhere i went she followed. should i just ask her out to make it up to her?! no i can't do that!
fuck.

why did this have to be so difficult. i decided i was just going to face my fears and ask her out. but i couldn't just ask her and only her to hang out, that is too bold.

i didn't know what she would say or how she would act. i didn't even know if she liked girls. then i got an idea.

(ariannah's pov)
it was storming outside. i loved storms, just the sound of rain was so calming to me.

i was working on the drawing when i got a message in the group chat. it was from sariah.

sariah

lilianna

carmen
yeah so am i
morgan
i'm free whenever
alena
i'm free too, why?

shit everyone was free. i mean i wasn't doing anything this weekend but i didn't know what sariah was up to.

sariah
what about you ariannah?

fuck! fine. i was just going to say i was available.

me
yeah i'm free :)
sariah
because i was wondering if you guys wanted to hang out? idk maybe y'all could come to my house and then we could go to barnes & noble and maybe y'all could sleepover?

she wanted to hang out?! fuck. and a sleepover?! my heart started beating so fast like when i first saw her.

lilianna
yeah my parents don't care :)
carmen
yeah i can go sariah!
alena
yeah my mom is lending me the car for the weekend so sounds good :)
morgan
yeah that sounds good

everyone was free to go. i made sure any important things to attend over the weekend and i didn't. but that would mean i had to be around her the whole time. "it's ok" i told myself.

me
yeah that's good
sariah
ok cool, i'll see y'all tomorrow :)

then i got a text from lilianna and carmen.

lilianna

carmen
