  I woke up with the odd feeling of warmth, which is weird since the last thing I remember is sitting on the carpet and talking to people. Even though I was awake I didn't open my eyes, I was just that lazy right now. But giving into curiosity I opened my eyes and found the source of heat. It was Ike. It was resting my head on his  legs while he was propped up on a couch. Oh god my head hurts! "Uh.." I tapped his forward repeatedly till he opened his eyes and looked down at me. "What..?" Ike blinked and rubbed his eyes a few times, he had bags under his eyes, but he still looked cute. Wait- never mind. "Wh-what?" I shrugged and sat up looking around, my head ache gotten worse. "I think we fell asleep at your friends" I nodded and sat on the couch, trying to collect my thoughts. "Wow you finally woke up! We thought we should leave you love birds alone." We turned our heads and looked at Addy, Todd, and some other guy. "Love birds..?" Ike and I said  together.  "Yeah you guys talked all night long, never left each other's side, AND you rested your head on your friends when you got tired and he just played with your hair." The one guy I didn't know looked at us weird when she explained all of this to us. Did we do something weird..? "So? Hunter and I do things kinda like that all the time!" I looked at Ike who had his fists balled up. The one I didn't know whispered something to Todd, which ended with him laughing and telling it to Addy who looked pissed off at them. "Don't say stuff like that!" She turned back to us, "There's a Halloween party in this field thing later on, want to come with us? Other people would be there." Without even asking Ike if he wanted to go I screamed, "Hell yeah Halloween!" Which gladly got me hit in the shoulder.

Ike went to the Halloween store to get us costumes while I stayed at the dorm and talked Addy, since she was kind enough to stay behind with me. "So who was the guy with you guys this morning?" Addy looked up from messing with her nails and scooted towards me. I was kind enough to sit on my bed while I sat on the floor. "Oh that guy? His names Dave, one of my friends from High School." I nodded and looked down at my hands. "Did he do something to you guys or something?" I shrugged my shoulders. "No, but what did he say to you guys..?"
"Oh.. He said you guys were gay." She said it like it was a normal thing for her to explain to people or something. I mean, Ike and I do things that couples do, but it's not like that. "Why did he say that?"
"Because you and... What's his name?"
"Ike."
"You and Ike were like cuddling and stuff, he called you cute, and you were holding hands sometimes." I don't remember anything of that! I continued to look at my hands and I can now feel my cheeks turning red.  "Wait!" Addy pushed herself off the bed and slid next to me, "Do you actually like him?! Cause I remember you not being like that to any guys last year?"  I looked up at her. "Last year I as at high school." She nodded, "We went to the same school, I saw you being alone a lot, but you did try hitting on two girls."  I never thought she came or anyone I knew here went to the same school as me. "No...well...Yes I like him.... Is that a bad thing?" Addy took my hands and looked at me. "No it's not a bad thing! I know we never talked last year and we only hung out a bit this year but... You can trust me and I'll help you, it's not a bad thing you have a crush on Ike!"
"Okay I have a crush on my best friend, which who is a dude! What if he finds out, he's going to call me weird and I'm going to get bullied!" She laughed and continued to have my hands with hers, "You'll be fine, I'm even going to help you hit on him tonight!"
"Wait I don't think-"
"Hey Hunter!" Ike walked in with a bag of Halloween stuff. "Oh hi Addy." Addy waved and stood up with me. "I'll see you guys at the party and Hunter you'll be fine!" She winked and walked passed Ike and left.
