*DING* i wake up to my phone going off on my dresser. whos texting me? i wonder.

???: hey it's johnnie

jake: oh hey what's up!
i text johnnie smiling, for some reason im really happy he texted me.
johnnie: i was wondering if you're going to corey's birthday party tonight

jake: yeah i am! you know corey?

johnnie: not really but tara's begging me to go

jake: ohh that makes sense 💀 he's super funny you guys will prob get along

johnnie: alr good 😭 cya there

i read over our texts over and over. did i text the right thing? what if he thinks i'm weird? okay shut the hell up jake. i try and ignore my thoughts and scroll on my phone for the next couple hours.

7:30pm

I really don't wanna go to corey's party. but i mean, at least jakes gonna be there.
and tara of course but i mean.. jakes gonna be there. idk what the hell im saying

i get out of bed and look for an outfit to wear.
ughh i have no clothes to wear i think while staring at a pile of clothes on my floor. i end up putting on a band tee, skinny jeans, and a random jacket. i go in the bathroom to brush my teeth. wow i look like shit. and jakes gonna be there. idk why that matters but he is. suddenly i'm paranoid about how i look and spend an hour trying to style my hair and do my makeup as perfect as i can.

9:00pm
tara: JOHNNIE IM OUTSIDE GET IN THE CARR
im interuppted by a text from tara. shit, i lost track of time.
johnnie: kk im coming
i slide on my shoes as quickly as possible and run out the door, almost forgetting my phone.
"HEY JOHNNIE" tara yells as i hop in the car
"hey tara," i look in the backseat "and jake" i didn't know tara was picking up jake as well. he was wearing a cropped graphic tee, jeans, and a studded belt. he looks really good "hey johnnie!" he said while smiling. i stared at him for a little too long before tara finally said something. "okay so do you guys want me to play music?" tara questioned while beginning to drive. "sure." i say. "yesss" jake agrees while looking out the window. tara turns on the music and it fills the awkward silence. i can't help myself but to look at jake through the rear view mirror. hes so cute. that's so fucking weird. i look away and go on my phone. hopefully he didn't notice me staring that'd be so embarrassing.

we finally arrive at corey's house. as we make our way to the front door we're greeted by sam golbach. "hey jake, tara! long time no see" sam says. "hey sam! missed you man" i reply. "oh who's this?" sam questions while looking at johnnie, who was standing a bit farther a way from us. "this is johnnie." tara says while pulling johnnie over. "oh are you guys dating or something?" sam asks genuinely wondering. something about this makes me upset. but i cant pinpoint why. "no he's just my best friend." tara responds.
that quick conversation is interrupted by corey walking over. "hey guys! come on in." corey exclaims while motioning us to walk in.

after corey told us to come in, jake and tara immediately started catching up with everyone there, leaving me awkwardly standing there alone. why did tara make me come here. i don't even know anyone. as i think that, colby walks over to me. "hey man! haven't seen you in a while!" he says while shaking my hand. me and colby were friends a couple years back. "oh hey colby!" me and colby have a quick conversation, but it's interrupted as someone else started talking to colby. leaving me alone again. i wonder where jake went? i walk around many unfamiliar faces looking for jake. i then see him getting a drink.
"hey" i say, a bit loud. he jumps. "god johnnie you scared me!" i laugh. "what's up?" i ask. "was about to look for you actually." i smiled at the fact he was actually gonna look for me. any other friends i've had never did that. "wanna drink?" he asks. "yeah" he hands me one and we start having a conversation.
hes really easy to talk to, i want to talk to him a lot more.
i think, moving a bit closer to him.

me and johnnie sat on a couch as we talked about random shit. johnnie is pretty drunk, but here he is having another drink. "johnnie i think that's enough." "nuh uh" i sigh, taking his drink out of his hand and setting it on the table. tara walks over to us. "hey guys, parties almost over, do you guys wanna sleep at my place?" she questions, holding her car keys. me and johnnie say yes.

11:55pm
after saying bye to everyone, me and johnnie get in tara's car. me, johnnie, and one of tara's friends sit in the back seat. tara is driving one of her friends home. as i'm looking out the window i notice johnnie's leg touching mine. obviously it's not on purpose but... OH MY GOD. i start smiling.

johnnie pov-
11:54pm
we get in tara's car. jake on the left, me in the middle, and taras friend on the right. i move closer to jake so our legs are touching. he'll probably just think it's not on purpose so it won't be weird.
