Ocean's Pov:

Okay. It's finally time. Me and Connie are walking to the café, for our DATE!!!

I'm incredibly excited, yet I just can't shake off the feeling that something will go wrong, my stomach feels all weird and my heart won't stop racing.. Anyhow, we walk hand in hand to the café, and when I say it was beautiful, I really mean it!

It was a tall brick building, covered with different plants and lights, with a few tables out front. The doors are wooden with windows of glass in them, the door handle being this beautiful shiny gold colour, in the shape of a flour. It really was beautiful.

As we go inside, it's pretty empty, so we get noticed pretty quickly by an employee. This startles me a bit as I'm still holding hands with Connie, I quickly let go and put my hands in my pocket, I really want to continue holding her hand, but the thought of people thinking im.. I know not everyone is against that but I'm still scared.

We sit down at a table and order our food, we both order the same thing: Tea and these cute muffins in the shape of cats! Ricky would like it here, I'll have to mention it to him, maybe he could bring Penny! (wink wink)

As we eat, we start chatting about the choir, well, specifically Penny and Ricky.

"Have you noticed that Penny and Ricky have been really close recently?" Connie asks me, I see where she's coming from, they really have been spending some extra time with each other!

"Yeah! I saw them reading a comic together at lunch, it was actually really sweet!" I reply, Connie aggressively nods in agreement as we both share a look, a look that says "maybe there's more going on there".

After a while of small talk, Connie suddenly starts talking in a serious tone, saying she has something to tell me.

"Hey Oce, uhm, I kinda have something serious to tell you?"

"Hm? What's the matter Connie?" I reply, I'm really nervous. Is there something wrong?

"Well.. I've been doing a lot of thinking recently, and I think.. No.. I know I like you. Not as a friend. As more." She just stares back at me after that, I'm in disbelief.

I just stare down at the table in shock. She likes me back? Like romantically? I should be happy right now, why is my stomach in knots??? I feel like I can barely breathe. I should be happy! I should be excited! I've been waiting for this moment for ages! Why when it finally happens, do I act like this??

"I.. I have to.." I mutter, barely able to get my words out and I stand up and quickly run out of the café, as I'm leaving I can hear her saying "Wait!" and "Oce!" but I can't get my words out to reply.

As I speedily walk down the street, I know exactly where I'm heading. I grab my phone out of my pocket and message the only person I can think of that will know what to do.

"Gay twin"

Ocean123: Noel, I need your help.

I don't even wait for a reply, I just put my phone away and continue my journey to his house.

"I like you. Not as a friend. As more." I blurt out, I'm quite sure she likes me back at this point, she's been blushing at me all day, complimenting me, even holding my hand! So, what she does next just completely throws me off guard.

She gets up and leaves.

She just, runs out the door, I don't even know what to do, I try telling her to wait but it's almost like she can't hear me, she just leaves me there, alone.
