sleepover (pt. 2)

RUBY'S POV

as lynn and i sat down on my bed and got cozy, i pulled out my laptop and mirrored it to the projector that was shining onto my only wall not full of posters, opening netflix to begin our horror binging. i always loved watching scary movies with lynn, even though i was absolutely terrified of them. what annoyed the shit out of me though, was the way she'd always tease me about how frightened i got. 

"what can i say? it's my guilty pleasure!" i shrugged, nudging lynn softly. i loved playing around with her like this, it made me feel like maybe we didn't only have to be friends. maybe we could be something more. of course, lynn rolled her eyes at me as she always does, picking fun at me and nudging me back. we went back and fourth for a couple of minutes before finally deciding to watch the movie. i used the excuse of sharing a blanket with her to get closer, only really wanting the feel the warmth of her body against mine.

 i'm really glad i got close with lynn. everything seems to be going so perfect. well, almost. it would be perfect if i could just open my god damn mouth and tell her how i feel, but it's just too risky. i can't lose her, and i fear i will if she ends up not liking me back.

LYNN'S POV:

as we watched the movies, i noticed ruby get progressively closer to me. i figured it was just because she was scared, but i didn't mind it at all. in fact, i wished she could be closer. i want to tell her how i feel, i just don't know when the time would be right. luna has been bugging me since this morning about telling ruby tonight, but i can't help but hold back every single time i almost do it. i don't know what's wrong with me... i guess i'm just nervous. 

i'm won't lie, i was watching ruby more than the actual movie. her reactions were way more entertaining, i couldn't help but laugh every time she let out a high pitched squeal or grab onto my arm. but honestly, each time she grabbed onto my arm, i wished it was for a different reason. i just couldn't get the words out, i had no idea what to even say. like... 'hey ruby, i've actually been madly in love with you since we met and i'm actually obsessed with you so like date me'???? NO. DUH. ugh i hate crush culture so much. it makes me wanna spill my guts out.

suddenly, as we were about  to start the last movie of the trilogy, i got a text from my sister, luna. one that worried me. i immediately sat up, responding to my sister.

luna

lynn

luna

lynn

luna
