If Only For A Second

I don't remember much about high school. I remember my first year. I'd hang out with my group of friends during school, Gojo with his. We'd have lunch together and walk home until we had to go down different ways.

One day when it was time to split paths like usual he followed onto mine.

"What are you doing?" I asked suspiciously.

"Nothing. Can't I go this way?" He said with a small smile on his face.

"Well no not really. Your house is 15 minutes in the opposite direction." I say simply.

"Did you forget?"

...

"Wooow. I can't believe it. You forgot one of our yearly celebrations?? It's your birthday of course, so tonight is our pajama party." He said with a smirk as he took my bag which was hanging off of one of my shoulders. "Come on. What do you not want to do it anymore? My parents said it was okay and yours did too as long as we keep the door open of course." He continued, looking a little more awkward now.

I smile brightly. "I thought we weren't going to do it this year! You know since we're high schoolers and everything. Of course I want to do it! I can't believe you got both of our parents permissions?! Come on let's stop by the convenience store, we need to get snacks!"

He smiled as I tugged him along, we stopped by the store and he brought all the snacks.

"Mom we're home!"

"There's the birthday girl! And Gojo! Nice to see you, I prepared the sleeping bag for you already so you can just set your stuff down."

"Thank you ma'am!"

I open my room to find it cleaner than I had left it in the morning. I guess my mom cleaned it up a bit, I smile at the gesture. I see Gojo set down his stuff in his same corner like always.

The evening passed by quickly as we played a few video games, ignored our stack of homework and got called down to eat my favorite dinner. I smell the aroma and take a sip of my drink, feeling giddy from all the excitement of my own birthday. Gojo takes a seat next to me as we eat, laugh, take birthday pictures and then bring out the cake. I blow it out, my wish being the same as almost every other teenage girl who has a crush.

Once the night is nearly over my parents send me to my room to go to sleep, and because they know me so well they warn me not to sleep too late. We rush to my room, leaving the door open like we've always done. He brings out the night snacks and I dig under my bed, grabbing the energy drinks that I had hid under there a few hours before.

"Okay, tonight's the night! We'll finally achieve an all-nighter together. You ready?"

"Ma'am. Yes, ma'am." Gojo says, saluting me as if following my orders. I laugh and quickly slap my hand over my mouth in an attempt to shut it, trying not to make too much noise.

For the last 4 years we had attempted to achieve an all-nighter together. Of course, we'd both done it on our own, by ourselves. But there was always something preventing us from reaching it together. At first we were too young and fell asleep before midnight. Then we finally made it past midnight one time only to have one of my parents wake up, we faked being asleep only to actually fall asleep. Of course the year after that on Gojo's birthday we were caught by his mother and forced to go to sleep. Although this time we were determined to finally do it.

We looked at the clock and realized we had about 2 hours till midnight. Of course my parents went to sleep themselves an hour later. Not before checking up on us, where we faked being asleep. They stayed there for a few minutes and finally left as we both cheered at the fact that we didn't actually fall asleep this time.
