Where Claribel Scobell can't help but fall for her Co-Star and very best Friend, but it's obviously not that easy... love never is
"I love the stars, they remind me that there is still a little peace out there"-c.s.
"I love the sun, it always shines...
I sat there on my bed and couldn't push down the huge smile on my face, I hadn't tried to push it down either I've just been sitting there and thinking about him for hours
Aryan and Walker had left to do whatever and I was at home, sitting on the bed Aryan had kissed me on, sitting on the bed Aryan had told me he likes me on, he really likes me
I couldn't believe this actually happened. What did this mean now ? What are we ?
I needed answers now I needed to know what this meant for us
Then my phone buzzed, I looked at it for a second before picking it up
Valeria What ?
My good mood was turned down immediately remembering why I texted her in the first place

I put my phone down not bothering to respond to her texts, I wanted to call her and tell her what happened with Aryan for second before remembering that she hated me
I could call Darcy or Leah for sure they would be more than excited for me but I didn't know what we were myself, I felt like I needed to figure this much out before telling people
Maybe we shouldn't tell people yet anyways, maybe we should actually keep it down and out of the public for a while until we're all settled and sure. Maybe we should figure out the we before thinking so much
"Belle" I heard a whisper, I then saw Aryans head peaking through my door "are you awake ?"
"Yeah" I whisper back turning off the music that was playing in the background
Aryan came in and sat down on my bed
"Hey"
"Hi" my mind went entirely blank
"So what have you been doing here while we were gone" a causal conversation. A casual conversation ?! Is he kidding me ?!
"The same I'm doing all day every other day" I laugh still a little thrown back by him having a normal conversation when I had been freaking out about him liking me for the past hours
"That sounds boring"
"It is. But I only have like a couple of weeks left" he nodded, I just looked at him. Was he just going to forget now ?
"That's great"
"Aryan"
"Yeah"
"Aryan..." he lifted his eyes to meet mine and just smiled
"I'm sorry this is kind of..."
"Strange ? Weird ? Awkward ?"
"Yeah that captures it" he laughed keeping his eyes on me "So Belle, would you maybe like to go on a date with me tomorrow?" My smile grew wider
"I would really like that Aryan" I said nodding "But what about Walker"
"Oh him, uh. What if we don't tell him yet"
"Yeah until we figure things out for ourselves" I agreed with him
"I mean we hang out a lot all the time I'm sure no one is going to think it's something different tomorrow" but we'll know and that is all I need , I don't need the world brining their noses into my business any more than they already are
☀️☀️
"Mom we're leaving" I yelled out as Aryan helped me up from the stairs
"Alright have fun you two"
"I'm so excited for you" Leena squealed as we got into the car, we had asked her to drive us since Aryan still had a few months until he got his license and she kinda got a hang of it being a date
"Shut up Leena" I roll my eyes "you won't tell anyone"
"I won't. I promise I'm just really happy for you" I smiled a little
Leena dropped us off at the café, we were going to walk a bit from here which sounded really great
We sat down and ordered our milkshakes just sitting there, the whole thing had gotten really awkward and I hated it, I wanted the old Aryan back
"So" I said looking at Aryan
"So..." and there it was again the awkward silence, I don't think in all this time of knowing Aryan i have ever experienced really awkward silence with him, we had a lot of silence when we were together but it was more the comfortable silence
"Maybe this...." I couldn't finish the sentence, I didn't want to, I didn't want to be right "Can we not do this" I laughed slightly trying to break the awkwardness "Why is this so weird ? This isn't any different than the other times we hung out"
"I don't know, but I hate it" he sighed too before looking back at me and smiling "let's just not think about it, we're just Belle and Aryan out for dinner, nothing special"
"Yeah, Sunshine and Starlight right ?" I grinned
"Yea. So tell me something, how was school ?" I scrunched up my face a bit "not good ?"
"It was fine for most of it but then we had geography" I shook my head slightly "were doing presentations now"
"That sounds cool I love presentations"
"Yeah I do too, when I can choose my own partner"
"Oh" he nodded "I hate it when teachers do that"
"Yeah now guess who I got paired up with"
"Valeria ?"
"I wish" he frowned a little "Jason I got paired up with Jason. I realised today that I didn't have an entire conversation with him since the break up and- wait is it weird if I talk about... this ?"
"No no, sunshine and starlight first, date second go on" I smiled before continuing
"Well he tried to help me the whole time as if I'm incapable of doing shit on my own, then he got mad at me cause I snapped after telling him that I don't need his help for like 10 times"
"That dick"
"Yeah. And then I tried to do the damn assignment but he kept on saying that we should talk it out first, I told him that I'm not interested in doing that cause what is there to talk about you know ?" He nodded "yeah then he kept going like yeah but like Val isn't like you and I miss you and bullshit like that and then I told Valeria that he said that, cause like girl code I can't not tell her that, and then she told me I'm a liar so yeah amazing day"
"Your life sounds tough man"
"You think ?"
Authors note: For anyone wondering what day we're at here it's like early march cause I realise all this might get really confusing with the dates Also don't we all know the awkwardness of first dates 😔✊
