A little after Matt and Chris leave, Jaz arrives and we head up to my room. "So Chris was here?" jaz asks "Yeah he was and so was matt" i say "did you actually leave your room?" she teases "yes actually and i made dinner that's why mikey was cleaning" i said and jaz pulls a look of excitement

"really?!" she basically yells "jeez calm down and yes i did" i said with a chuckle "bro this is like a new achievement" she says jokingly "omg shut up" i say and right after i finish my sentence someones phone dings. I pick my phone up and see a text from a contact named "best student ill ever tutor" really chris?

"Who is it?" jaz asks "chris" i reply "you have his number?" jaz actually yells this time "yes i do and calm down" i say "okay okay, but open it what are you waiting for?" she says "okay"

              
             The best student ill ever tutor🧑‍🏫

Hey when is our first study session and where?

I put my phone down expecting to be left on delivered but he immediately responds

                         okay perfect

Okay well goodnight luna

                   goodnight chris

"Aww your guys' first 'tutor sesh'" jaz says putting tutor sesh in quotations  "why is tutor sesh in quotations?" i ask "no reason" she says smiling "ugh i need elena to be ungrounded" she says "real bro i miss our trio sleepovers" i say

After talking till like 1 am we decide to go to sleep since we have school tomorrow. Shit i have a game tomorrow.

..

We arrive at school like 20 minutes before the bell rings. Jaz and Elena were always outgoing and bold people.

Like jaz always wore and said what she wanted. Elena was the same minus wearing what she wanted. Her stupid strict parents.

i on the other hand was too self conscious to wear crop tops outside of my house and practice, and I was more quiet and reserved.

The only people who knew the actual me was mikey, jaz, elena, and nick. Not even my parents, not like their home enough to get to know me or mikey.

"Hey guys guess who's ungrounded" Elena says walking up to jaz and i at my locker "omg we need to plan a sleepover this weekend" jaz says "ooo a sleepover?" Nick says waking up "yea you're invited" jaz says hugging nick

"how about we have it at mine since lu's gonna be there this weekend" nick says "what?" elena asks confused "she's tutoring chris keep up hon" jaz says "oh right forgot sorry" el says "jeez el your memory is horrible" i joke

The bells rang after about 5 minutes of us talking. I head off to ap calc the class I have no friends in, but one plus is Chris is in there.

I walk in and greet mrs. culsacky and take my seat in the back near the window. I didn't notice it, but Chris was right behind me and took the seat next to me.

"Oh hey" I say kinda startled "why are you sitting with me instead of your friends" I ask "if you haven't noticed i dont have any friends in this class well besides you" he says

"i'm your friend?" i ask with a slight smile "yes indeed you are" he says drawing his attention back to the board

The whole class I was thinking about what he said, sure I was reading too deep into it but I don't care. Chris is my friend now and that made me happy.

After the lesson I had english with jaz and nick. I went through my periods and finally made it to lunch.

"Hey, anyone wanna go to Wingstop with me?" i ask "i'm good" nick says "i hate wings" el sayed "my stomach hurts right now" jaz says, i look toward matt who was sitting with us and he just shook his head no

"I'll go" I hear from behind me. I turn around and see Chris "okay" I manage to get out without completely screaming my head off.

We get into my car and I start driving us to wingstop. "Hey you have a game today right?" he asks "yeah i do" i respond "why are you coming?" i add with a chuckle "sure if you want me to" he says "well i didn't say that, but you could come if you want" i say "then i'll be there" he says

After about a 5 minute drive and some conversation we arrive at wingstop and Chris says he mobile ordered in the car of course after asking me what I wanted. "I didn't want you to pay for me" i say "its fine i got you" chris says casually "it's not fine what's your venmo?" i ask pulling my phone out "i'm not giving you my venmo luna'' he says "chris ill feel bad" i say "well then feel bad" he says

We get our order and head to the car and drive back to school. When we get there I pull into the parking lot and attempt to get out but Chris stops me and tells me that he wants to eat in the car with me. Butterflies

"Okay so topic of conversation" i say after finishing a fry "why do you like boneless it's literally glorified chicken nuggets" he says jokingly "i have an fear of breaking my tooth on the bone" i say "that's strange but very good point" he says

"what are some of your other fears?" he asks "the kool aid man" i say seriously "what'' chris manages to get out through laughs "okay bitch if your gonna laugh then i won't tell you shit" i say jokingly "okay okay sorry, but what" he says with his hands up

"he scared the shit outta me as a kid and i never got over it, like a 9 foot tall jug of kool aid that breaks through walls? No thank you" i say "okay reasonable" he says

"tell me something interesting about you" i ask "i'm the youngest triplet" he say "very evident" i say "excuse me, fine your turn" he says "uhh my full name is mariluna" i say "really?" he asks "yup" i say "you have a very beautiful name mariluna" he says "thanks" i say while blush creeps onto my cheeks.

Just him saying my full name made me go insane. I needed to kiss this man. Our convo goes on until we finish and head to history together

a/n- yall i love wingstop, i must have my glorified chicken nuggets.
