Walker, Aryan, and Brady were hanging out at Walker's house, sprawled across the living room. The remnants of their pizza lunch were scattered on the coffee table, and an action movie played on the TV, though none of them were really watching it.

"So," Aryan began, leaning back on the couch and stretching his legs out. "Disneyland was pretty epic, huh?"

"Yeah, it was amazing," Brady agreed, tossing a piece of popcorn into his mouth. "Especially that final fireworks show. Pretty romantic."

Walker chuckled, but his thoughts drifted back to the day at Disneyland and, more specifically, to Aurelia. He had been thinking about her a lot lately, and the day at Disneyland had only intensified those feelings.

"Walker," Aryan said, snapping his fingers in front of his friend's face. "Earth to Walker. You look like you've got something on your mind."

Walker shook his head, snapping out of his reverie. "Sorry, just thinking."

Brady raised an eyebrow. "Thinking about what?"

Walker hesitated for a moment, then decided to come clean. "Aurelia."

Aryan and Brady exchanged a knowing look. "We kind of figured," Aryan said. "You've been pretty quiet since we got back from Disneyland."

Walker sighed and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "I want to tell her how I feel. I want to confess to her."

Brady's eyes widened. "Wow, man. That's a big step."

"I know," Walker admitted. "But I can't stop thinking about her. She's amazing, and I just... I don't want to miss my chance."

Aryan nodded thoughtfully. "So, what's stopping you?"

Walker ran a hand through his hair. "I guess I'm just nervous. I don't know how she'll react, and I don't want to ruin our friendship if she doesn't feel the same way."

Brady clapped a hand on Walker's shoulder. "Dude, you'll never know unless you try. And honestly, from what we've seen, it looks like she might feel the same way about you."

Walker looked at his friends, appreciating their support. "You think so?"

Aryan grinned. "Definitely. You two have this connection that's hard to miss. She lights up when you're around."

Brady nodded in agreement. "And let's not forget the kiss under the fireworks. That's not something that happens every day."

Walker smiled, feeling a bit more confident. "Yeah, that was pretty special."

"So, what's your plan?" Aryan asked.

Walker thought for a moment. "I guess I'll just be honest with her. Tell her how I feel and see what happens."

Brady gave him a thumbs up. "That's the spirit. Just be yourself, man. She'll appreciate that."

Walker took a deep breath, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. "Thanks, guys. I really needed your support."

"Anytime," Aryan said. "And don't worry, we've got your back."

Walker smiled, feeling more determined than ever. He knew confessing his feelings to Aurelia was a risk, but it was a risk worth taking. With his friends by his side, he felt ready to take that leap.

— YOU ARE IN LOVE—
