It was the morning after our little 'sleepover'. I started to wake up and realized I was no longer laying on the pillow I was given. I was laying on his shoulder/arm area. (😨) Once I like fully woke up I noticed that he was awake already.

"Morning" I said.
"Morning, sleepyhead"
"Whatcha doing?"
"Texting the boys"
"Oh cool. What about?"
"You."
"Me?! Why me?"
"I think they're jealous that I bagged a beauty like you."
"Oh, that's nice." I zoned out and didn't really listen to what he was talking about. Why were they talking about me?

I remembered that I was basically using him as a pillow so I lifted my head up but it was quickly pushed back down by his hand.

"Stay."
"Erm ok."

We stayed like that for a good minute. We were both just on our phones when he broke the silence.

"They want another pick can I take one
"Sure just lemme fix my hair rq"
I brushed my fingers through my hair to get the frizz down as much as I could. I then placed my head back down on his shoulder and held up a peace sign in the pic (born to anime pose, forced to peace sign). He took the picture and showed it to me to make sure I was okay with it. It wasn't bad so I said he could use it. I know it's not much but the fact that he checked with me before send the pic is kinda... 🧎‍♀️anywho. He sent the photo and his phone exploded with texts from his friends. We both started laughing at their messages for a while. My phone started ringing. It was my mom. I answer it.

"Hello?"
"I'm on the way to pick you up right now so be ready. I should be there in about 15 minutes."
"Ok I will."
"Bye."
"Bye."

I turned to Tristan and told him the news. He was fine with it. I offered to help clean up the mess that our fort created but he told that it was fine. I spent a couple minutes gathering my things and saying goodbye to his family. Me and him waited in the living room for the rest of the time. Once 15 minutes had passed I got a text message from my mom that stated, "here". I told Tristan that my mom was here and he quickly gave me a hug and opened the door for me. (Not canon 😭) I waved goodbye as I walked down the pathway. I quickly got into the front seat of my mom's car. She asked me all the basic questions, "did you have fun?" "Were you being polite" to all of which I answered yes. Once she stopped with her bombardment of questions I put in my AirPods and played my liked playlist. The first song that played was True Romance by PinkPantheress. I listened to it with no thoughts in my head other than the thought of him. I was quickly snapped out of this trance when my mom's car came to a stop in front of my house. I got out and headed inside. My dad was coaching his baseball team so I didn't have to deal with another bunch of questions. I went to my room and picked out some of my normal at home clothes. I brought them to the bathroom and turned on the shower. While I was waiting for the water to warm up I was listening to Spotify again. I was listening to a playlist that was a collab with a bunch of my friends called 'cobd' it was a combo of our initials. I was zoning out again until a new song played. Song that I hadn't heard before, the song was Apple Cider by Beabadoobee. I listened to the lyrics and was kinda shocked at how they matched up with what had just occurred that night. I quickly added it to my liked songs and went on with my shower. After I got out I wrapped my hair in a towel and retreated back to my room. I sat at my desk and thought about what I should do with all my free time. I scrolled on TikTok for a bit until a stumbled upon a video about a type of bracelet. I figured it looked pretty doable so I brought my beads out and got to work. It wasn't very hard at all. I made a random bracelet but it was just a little bit too tight on my wrist so I put it off to the side. I quickly went back to scrolling on TikTok when I got a text from Tristan. It went like,

"My championship game is on Sunday. Come watch."
It wasn't a question it was more of a command.
"Ok I will. Where and when?"
"It's at home at 3:00"
"Ok I'll be there."
"Alr bye."
"Byee"

I switch back to TikTok and DIDNT really give it a second thought. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. Until I got bored so I decided to sleep early. (Very surprising) I fell asleep after a bit with one thing on my mind. Him.
