❝ WHAT IF HE DOESN'T LIKE
ME BACK? ❞

FRIDAY MORNING, the early morning sun slipped through the curtains, bringing stunning yellow rays across the room. reina slowly stirred awake, waking up from a dreamless sleep - one of the best sleeps she's had in ages.

she yawned and rubbed her eyes. however, just as she was about to get up, she felt a weight around her - and was my pillow always this stiff?

fully processing what was happening, her eyes widened. of course, she and connor always had sleepovers, and she always slept in his bed when they did. he quite literally had a drawer filled with her fluffy blankets whenever she did.

sleeping over at his house wasn't what surprised her - no, it was the fact that they were literally cuddling, and she could feel their legs muddled up together. he had his arm loosely around her waist whilst she previously had her hand rested on his chest.

to make things worse, she changed from her long sleeved fitted shirt to a loose oversized one last night. the problem? her shirt lifted up a little during her sleep, and connor's hand rested on her bare back, due to him bringing her closer throughout the night.

her face heated up, and she was internally screaming her head off. here's a little insight:

WHATTHEFUCK
WHATTHEFUCK
WHATTHEFUCK
WHATTHEFUCK

she don't know how they ended up like this. up until this point, they never cuddled and always kept their space - sure, when they were little they held hands to sleep, but that was different. way different.

deep down, she wanted to stay close to him and sleep some more, but she was too flustered and panicked. trying to keep it together, she quietly and carefully got out of bed, replacing herself with a pillow. she grabbed her charging phone and checked the time: 7:33 am.

she let out a sigh of relief, knowing they had time to get ready for school that started at 8:30. she unplugged her phone and headed to the bathroom, immediately splashing her face with cold water.

she thought that by doing so, it would snap her out of whatever flustered mess she was in. unfortunately, she couldn't get it out of her head.

she's never experienced this feeling before, not even with the name-we-do-not-speak-of, no matter how much she thought she did. no amount of compliments from his stinky mouth was able to make her react this way - not like how connor did.

she immediately dialled 911 - by that, she dialled the first person she saw in her contact list.

after three rings, the older girl picked up, and reina made sure she was off speaker. "hey rei, what's up?"

"morning, rei!" she heard bailey in the background. it was known that bailey went over to benj's house most mornings to go to school with alyssa.

"code red, i just slept over at connor's and-"

"you guys did it?!" alyssa yelled in surprise, and she heard bailey's added shouts of disbelief.
