If you asked the people around her they would all describe Mel in the same way : happy, funny, helpful, selfless, smart and so much more, so would Walker Scobell.
What could possibly go wrong with a girl whos THAT perfect, right ?
"Okay so I'm kind of freaking out" Destiny looked over at me with a frown
"Why are you freaking out this time ?"
"So uh he's kind of coming over in two days" she slammed her locker shut turning entirely to me
"What ?!"
"Shht shut up"
"You shut up, what do you mean he's coming over in two days ?!" I've grown a lot more comfortable talking to her about Walker because she didn't make a big deal out of him being like famous or whatever (after the initial shock had died down about me actually talking to him)
"We've been talking about hanging out for weeks and now we finally agreed on Thursday" I said leaning my back against the lockers behind me and turning my head to her "Cassie has volleyball and I'm not working so that just worked out"
"You still haven't told Cass ?"
"She'll actually freak Des and she'll tell people about it, she's a child"
"Well I freaked too, that's still so crazy to me, what do you mean you're talking to Walker ??"
"You should be the last person to freak you gave him my insta"
"Well yeah but I didn't think he'd actually text you, don't get me wrong Mel you are the most amazing and gorgeous human being but girl, you're like literally one person away from Belle Scobell and Leah Sava Jeffries- woah that means that I'm two people away from them"
"Belle knows about me"
"What"
"Well we didn't have any direct contact but she knows that I exist"
"That's insane" I shrugged looking around to see if Cole was finally around somewhere, which he wasn't
"Back to the hanging out please what do I do ? I don't know how to hang out with people"
"You hang out with me ?"
"Yeah but you're Destiny, it's easy with you"
"I mean talking to him was easy right ?"
"But I'm such an awkward person in real life Des"
"You're fine Mels, you're just overthinking this"
She was probably right about that, I hadn't stopped thinking about it for a second and I didn't know why
I talked to Walker for hours on the phone and never had to think twice about anything, it wasn't the first time that he would see me either, he had seen my multiple times at the cafe
It's just that those times I was an employee, this time I'm going to be just me and maybe being just me isn't gonna be enough for him...
I sounded insane, I could just let him lead the conversation, it was going to be just fine I had to stop thinking too much about this I only stressed myself out
🎶🎶
I started cleaning the house once I got home, putting some music on to calm myself down and not explode thinking about it
"Oh my god Mel" I heard Cassie throwing her bag aside and rushing over to me the second she got home "it's a double album" I looked at her confused trying to piece the pieces together "The tortured poets department? Taylor Swift"
"That's today ?!"
"Yes. AND Oh my god, Taylor Swift mentioned both of us in her new album, we are practically best friends with her now"
"Have you listened to it yet ?"
"No. You ?"
"Listening party ?"
"Yess"
"But you need to help me clean a little" she groaned as she started walking towards the kitchen "it'll be quick cass, you only need to mop the floor"
"Fine, but I'm gonna eat first" I grabbed my phone to look at my messages and saw one from Walker
How comes you never told me that Taylor Swift is actually your best friend ?
I grinned opening his chat and typing back to him quickly

"Talking to your boyfriend again ?"
"Still not my boyfriend" I rolled my eyes peaking over to my sister who was grinning at me from the kitchen table
"Uh huh, sure"
"Yeah whatever cass I don't have time for this"
I really liked Walker but it was t romantically liking him, I don't think it was
I've never romantically loved anyone before and I didn't exactly have my parents show me the perfect picture of normal love so I'm really not aware of what liking someone romantically feels or looks like but I was pretty sure that it was all Platonic for Walker, he's really a great friend
I kept texting with him a little until Cassie was done with her food and we started cleaning the house and then making some snacks to eat while listening to the new album together
"How insane is it to have a song called Cassandra? Try and convince me that it isn't about me Mel, I bet you can't"
"I'll put a pause on the question and come back when I've heard the song, we both know she can... well surprise with her lyricism"
