I chase after Ian, following him into the bathroom. Why is he acting weird? I mean, sure, the truth or dare game was pretty awkward but it shouldn't still be awkward. Maybe...maybe he's awkward for the same reason I'm awkward around him. Because I must know his crush. Like, personally and such. Speaking of which...he was even more awkward during Game Bang. Maybe, he has a crush on someone in Game Bang. "Um, Anthony?" "Ian, it's fine. No need to be awkward." "Anthony, what are you talking about?" He obviously lies, shifting from foot to foot nervously. "You're lying! I knew it! The person you like is in that room aren't they!" I wanna know who his crush is now...no matter how much it hurts me. I'm just too curious! Not to mention I'm worried that Ian will get hurt...especially if the person doesn't like them back..."Anthony-" Oh god, I've never thought about the person hurting Ian...I swear if his crush hurts him in any way, I will shove a cinder block up their ass "Seriously, you don't need to be awkward around your crush and leave the room just because you fee-" "Anthony!" Ian laughs. "Chill, I just came in here to go pee. Sure, I suppose I felt awkward," He admits quietly. "But that doesn't matter, I'll get over it. And, actually...You know what? I think I'm over being awkward already!" "We should play a drinking game. Every time one of us says the word 'awkward' everyone takes a shot," I joke. We both laugh. "Anyways, I'll get back to all of them now," I tell him, opening the bathroom door to leave. "Yeah yeah, sure," Ian responds as I leave to go back.

I walk back into the room. "So, how'd it go?" Mari questions, stopping the conversation that was between her and Joven. "He's fine, I'm sure of it," I lie, looking around the room. I wonder who he likes...I bet its Wes. Maybe Flitz...Sohinki? Nah, I don't think it's Sohinki. Maybe two years ago I would've guessed Lasercorn...but they don't seem to talk as much as they use to. Not in a bad way, they just don't. I wanna guess its Wes or Flitz...I wish he'd just tell me though so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

Aaaand I'm back. Like I said, Anthony's mind is a bit difficult to understand. But, you get the picture. Anthony's worrying about Ian, and Ian is doing his best to keep his secret crush, secret. Wait...you wouldn't know that second part...would you? We haven't taken a look into Ian's mind quite yet. I think it's a good time to do so. So, what happens next? Well, we're going to skip an hour forward in time. Ian's mind is as difficult as Anthony's, so good luck my friend. Good luck.

Earlier was straight up terrifying. I swear, if Anthony was in that bathroom for one more second, he would've figured out that I like him. Damn...I sound like a middle school girl. Oh well, that's the least of my problems. Laser's going on and on about his wife, and everyone's talking about relationships. I haven't been acting weird since when we filmed Game Bang, but everyone can tell I've gone silent again. Anthony nudges me. "Do you wanna go home?" He asks. I bet he feels a bit out of place as well. Especially since he has a crush...and so do I. But my crush is on him...He probably has a crush on one of his close friends. Anthony and I have been friends for way too long for him to have a crush on me. It's just how it works (despite myself being an exception). Ugh...I do wanna go home. I nod, tugging on his sleeve. We both get out of our seats. "You two okay?" Joven asks. "Yeah, we're just gonna go home," Anthony explains. "Ooh! I know! Ian has a crush!" Mari exclaims, before covering her mouth. What? How does she know?! I haven't told anyone but Anthony...Oh god please don't tell me that Anthony told her...I shake my head, trying my best to look honest, even though I'm lying. "Nope! Ian has a crush! I'm absolutely positive now," She says as if it's an accomplishment that she figured it out. Anthony must've told her...That...that douche! Dammit Anthony! I give Anthony an angry glare. "I'll be in the car," I mumble, nudging Anthony harshly as I make my way out of the room. Dammit dammit dammit! I walk out of the building and towards the car, before I hear footsteps behind me. "Ian, are you okay?" Anthony questions. I cross my arms, stopping right in front of the car door. "Anthony you ass," I mutter, as he puts a hand on my shoulder. "What did I do?" "Uh huh, like you don't know." Ok, now I really sound like a middle school girl. "You told Mari I have a crush, and now the rest of them know! They're gonna figure it out like that!" I say, finally turning around and facing him. Anthony furrows his eyebrows. "I didn't tell Mari anything," He tells me. "I doubt it," I say, wanting to slap him and kiss him at the same time. I feel like I get this feeling a lot with Anthony. Especially since he's a fucking dork. A fucking attractive dork. "I promise that I told Mari absolutely nothing!" He tells me with sincerity in his eyes. Maybe he's telling the truth...Mari is the shipper of the group, and can usually act like Sherlock when it comes to figuring out "heart eyes" (A/N phandom, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. cough cough heart eyes howell cough). Maybe...maybe I overreacted. "I guess..." I uncross my arms. "...that it's okay." I give a soft smile. "As long as she doesn't bring it up again then I'm fine," I continue. "No hard feelings?" Anthony questions. "No hard feelings," I reply. "Hug it out?" He asks. I nod, full on smiling. His face lights up beautifully, and he pulls me into a tight embrace.
