3rdperson:

"Alright skate shop it is!"  They stumbled around a bit before arriving at the shop.

Xochitl and Mo are going through the many colorful skateboards, looking at each one they pass by,

"Ooh look at that one!" You pointed at one that peaked your interest.

Mason looks at the board you pointed at, he smiled, holding it in his hands and looking at the many intricate designs, he held up the board for you to see "It's pretty cool right? Oh look it's an avatar design!" He exclaimed pointing his finger at the air sign.
"Reminds me of the Gordon kid you hung out with, what ever happened to him?"
"Oh yeah cool.."

"Mason why don't we send you on a food run!.." McKennas eyes widened like it was a threat whilst pushing to brunette out the glass doors.

Your ears perked up hearing a familiar voice rejoice,
"Hold up ain't this you!?"
"Oh dang yeah! I should get this shouldn't I? You know to manifest the avatar in me!"

The boy joked around looking at the skateboard before his eyes locked onto yours for a second. It was sudden, his eyes stared as if they wanted to say something, as if he was holding back.
Those few seconds you shared felt like forever,
He quickly turned away,
"Hey, (name)"
"Hi."

The store music went silent for a second,
"Hey girl were leaving whatcha doing back here!- oh, hey Gordon." Momonas demeanour shifted seeing the boy looking at you.
"Uh nice reunion you have going on here but we really gotta bounce!" She attempted to pull you out of that situation.

"Mhm" you simply nodded turning away without a second thought. You couldn't forget that moment where he snapped, you couldn't shake off the feeling you just felt in your stomach that sunk to your feet when his gaze changed.
You didn't see him the same. Neither did he.
The butterfly effect. You wondered how a simple argument lead to all this.

"Gordon? You alright?" A voice called out from the distance sounding like his friend.

-outside the shop.

"Screw this, I need to get over this feud. We're going back to filming in a bit I have to get my act together."
"About time.. you keep posting about her without actually doing anything."
"Who told you it's about her?"
"My intuition and common sense."

..

Gordon POV:

I sat in my bed drowned in my own thoughts as they flooded my head, heart sunken thinking about how I treated her. My mom didn't raise me this way, I don't know why I ended up this way.

It's not that I'm afraid. Well okay maybe I am afraid. Not of rejection but that if she did say yes, if she did reciprocate, that I would hurt her. Again.
I don't deserve her, nobody does. I've done too much to her, if she moves on and stops thinking about me I would think that'd be for the best.

I want to let it all out and tell her how I feel.
That moment where I yelled at her, it won't leave my head, just like every other mistake I'd ever made. They replay in my head like a movie I hate.
She must hate me now.
I shouldn't have gotten jealous either it's not like we were something to begin with. Even if we could've been at some point, I ruined it.

Your POV:
I downed a whole bowl of cheerios thinking about that unexpected encounter at the mall. I'll give it to him he's got a way with me. He just won't leave my mind.

*notification!: GordonCormier has sent a follow request*

Huh? I thought to myself seeing the notification pop up.
What's this all about? Is this Cold War between us reaching its end? I want to go back to those warm rainy nights where we'd talk about our problems on the balcony.
I might be over analyzing but when I fall I fall hard. I just cant help it.

Gordon POV:

*F/N.L/N has accepted your follow request"
I looked at my phone as a smile crept up on my face.
