[OJ's Pov]

I had started my Morning up with having Tea Kettle and Soap make Breakfast for everyone. I helped because, The 2 couldnt make food for an ENTIRE hotel by themselves. It all went pretty easy and smoothly. Suprisingly, There was no chaos. No one was fighting, No one was yelling or screaming, No one was getting stuck in some random spot in the hotel. .....Hopefully I didnt jinx it.

I looked around as I set down everyones plate with A smile. Hell, Trophy even said the words "Thank you". Is today just a good day!?!?! But, Something still lingered in my mind. Me and Paper. We had...Basically just slept together. I mean, Were we...? We were on a couch...Ugh, I probably made Paper uncomfortable!! Maybe he was just Forgiving me Because I'm his friend and He didnt want to hurt me!

I shook my head and snapped out of it. It was not the time to Overthink myself. Instead, I took some deep breaths and thought for a moment. These were calming Techniques that Candle had showed me back in Season 3. She had noticed My Anxiety and Panic attacks and would always help me. Ah, How I miss the Thinkers. But, I dont want to be on another Gameshow any Time soon. I then got back to work.

After I finished handing out everyone's Food, I went to go Fold Towels and Fix things up where the pool was. Clean the Pool out, Im sure there is some kind of Weird Makeup from Salt and Pepper in there. Straighten out chairs, stuff like that. Really, There wasnt much for me to do. So, I might have more time to Help others and Maybe...Maybe hang out with Paper some More!! Yeah! That sounds nice. Things might be a bit akward between us though, After....What happened. But it should be fine. Hopefully, Paper will understand.

I finished all my work inside the Pool Room and went to go wash the Dishes once everyone was Done with Breakfast. I put on some headphones and played some Music as I did the Dishes. A better way to do it, Y'know?? I danced to my Music and did the dishes. What I didnt Realize, Was Paper coming Right next to me.

I think I heard my Name? But it wasnt from a Voice. It was...Some Unknown voice. I didnt know who. I took off my Headphones and looked around to see who was talking to me. No one....Until I saw Paper walking up to me with a Nervous smile. I fealt a Grin form on my face when I saw him. I took my headphones off completely and set them on the counter.

Oj: "Paper!! Whats up, Bud?"

Paper: "Hey OJ!! Im...Still sorry about earlier this Morning."

Oj: "Its ok! Really, It fine. I understand."

I Reassured him, being Genuine. If anything, I enjoyed it. Yeah, it was akward but I loved being close to Paper. I wish I could do it all the time and it be Normal. Feel Normal. But, We're just friends. I need to learn that.

Paper: "Thank you...Um, I was thinking.."

Paper said, Scratching the back of his head. He looked nervous. I turned my head, Curious on what he had to say.

Paper: "Maybe we could...Hang out, A bit more-? M-Maybe Go out Together??"

My eyes widened. Im not so sure I would have the time but...I really do want to hang out with him! Maybe, I could try and Confess. Maybe be truthfull to him? I dont know... But Im definently not going to decline!!

Oj: "Of course!! I'd Love to!! That sounds really nice, Paper. When and Where do you want to go??"

Paper: "I uh....Maybe wanna go to the park?? Walk around?? And...Next week? Because,I-I know you have a lot to do this week so..."

Oj: "Sounds great!!! I'll see you there!!"

I said, putting on a sweet smile.

(Paper POV:)

My face went red and I smiled so widely when he said yes. Yes!! Maybe Pickle's Advice might actually work and then- We- uh...I dont know! I havent planned that far ahead. I got really excited with my Hands up to my chin as I smiled Widely. Oj then Smiled sweetly at me. His smile was beautiful...I wish I could tell him that.

Paper: "Ok! Cya OJ!!"

Oj: "Bye Paper!"

I happily walked away from the Kitchen and Into the Lobby. A huge Smile on my face. I dont know why I was so excited about this, Im sure he would've said yes either way. I guess its because of my stupid, Massive crush on My best friend. After thinking the event over, I decided might as well get to work to destract my mind of Overthinking. First on my Agenda was Fixing any blinds or Window covers that were messed up by Guests. Easy Enough!!

I walked towards one of them until I was stopped by someone. I looked up, it was Salt. Hm, I had a small...Little...Envy towards her. I dont hate her!! I swear I Dont want to...Punch her in her face 10 times then throw her in a dumpster with 5000 Long, Sharp, Knives. And then delete her profile off of Mephone so then she cant come back! Pfft!! I dont hate her!! Just wish I could do that, Thats normal when You dislike someone, Right??

Paper: "O-oh! Salt!! Hello there! Do you need anything?"

I said Nervously, She looked angry. Specifically at me.

Salt: "What I want is, like, awnsers. Why are you messing around with MY boyfriend!?"

Paper: "He's..Not your Boyfriend...He litterally doesnt like you, at all-"

I mumbled quietly so that she wouldnt hear. She looked at me in disgust. Flipping her Long, White Hair.

Salt: "Like, What was that!?!!"

Paper: "NOTHING!!"

Salt: "Ugh, Whatever. But, Like, Stop Flirting with him. He's MINE. [Bro is unleashing her alpha side-💀]

Paper: "F-FLIRTING!?!! I-IM NOT FLIRTING WITH HIM-"

I said, Scared and Nervous.

Salt: "Like, Good. Your, like, Way out of his leauge, You 2 should like, Stay Friends."

Paper: "Y-yeah- Sure. Whatever, We're just friends. We stay friends."

Salt: "Thats what I like, Thought."

She said, Scoffing. She then flipped his ponytail and walked away with her Best Friend, Pepper. I rolled my eyes. Salt was just annoying. But, I guess she was right. I was kinda out of his league..I mean, He's a kind, Rich, Wonderful, Man! Im just.....Me. I guess. I let her words sink in as I went to go fix the Curtains.

We're....Just Friends. We could never be anything more...
