I zoom in and examine the pic closely, but he managed to cover up every little spot he needed to

For some dumb reason, I can't shake the goosebumps or the big goofy smile on my face. The odds of this going anywhere are astronomically low, especially since he hates me IRL, but maybe, just maybe, the universe is finally letting me have my own cheesy love story?

I pocket my phone, and suddenly I'm back in the real world at a random interstate rest area in rural Alabama. The anxiety of attempting to kiss my straight best friend comes surging back, and I have no idea how I'm going to handle this level 1000 awkwardness.

As I'm walking around the back corner of the bathroom building to start making my way back to the car, I spot Chase a few yards away with his foot kicked up against a tree, vaping. So much for being a member of the Students Working Against Tobacco club...freaking hypocrite. He doesn't usually give off emo vibes, but the black jacket he's wearing paired with his dark brown windswept hair covering one eye, his black ripped jeans, black and white Converse, and the brooding expression on his face really completes the look.

I'm actually sorta tempted to walk over to him and try to talk things over again, but I just know that would be a colossal failure and waste of time, so I head straight for the car instead, hoping and praying that Connor is somehow asleep already.
