"they were best friends, and just friends', but everyone who looked at them when they were together knew they were something more. it was obvious they had fallen for each other, but neither wanted to admit it. at one point or another, they both fell...

Inara😎
Y'all are no fun.
RESTLESS , I grabbed my phone and opened insta in a whim, My friends had warned me about the app, full of weirdos and creeps, but tonight, boredom won. After scrolling past a few profiles, I paused.
A girl with long, blonde hair and striking blue eyes stared back at me from her profile picture. Her cherry-red lips curved in a smile that sent a flutter through my chest. I hesitated, then added her.
Before I could second-guess my decision, a message popped up: "Hey, ur gorgeous!"
I blinked, surprised. "Hey, thank you! Omg, look at you!" I typed back, heart racing a little.
"You're really pretty," she responded. "I love your hair."
"Thanks," I said, feeling warmth spread through me. "You've got the prettiest smile."
"So, what brings you here?" she asked.
I bit my lip, wondering how honest I should be. "Honestly? Bored. My friends ditched me for the night, so here I am. You?"
"Same," she replied. "I wanted to meet new people, and here we are." She added a winking emoji, and I found myself smiling at my screen like an idiot.
"I guess we're both lucky then," I typed, feeling a strange connection building.
The more we chatted, the more natural it felt. Her name was Ava, and even through the screen, I could tell she was special. Her quick wit, her warmth— it felt like we'd known each other forever, even though it had only been minutes.
"I think we'd get along really well," she said after a while, "What's your Insta? Let's stay in touch."
My fingers hesitated for only a second before I sent it. Seconds later, I received the notification.
Ava Parker 🩷 (@avaxp) started following you.
"Your name is Inara? That's so pretty, it suits you," Ava messaged, her words sending a warm flush through me.
"Ava's a beautiful name too," I giggled, feeling a little silly but not caring.
The conversation flowed easily, and soon, I found myself getting lost in her. The time flew by until I finally glanced at the clock. It was nearly midnight.
"Hey, Ava," I typed, stifling a yawn, "I'm gonna head to bed, but I'll text you on Instagram tomorrow, okay?"
"Sounds good! Sleep well, Inara."
"Night."
As I closed the app and laid my phone down, I found myself smiling. Something about Ava made me feel... different. Maybe this was just a passing connection. Or maybe, it was the start of something more.
A/N this was the first chapter, I'm not sure what to think of it. hope you all enjoyed it.
