It's Complicated

04

I just stopped moving, and talking. Ashley averted her gaze and quickly became aware of the situation. She giggled and whispered.

"Now's your chance."

"No."

She was about say something in return but we both noticed that girl with half blond half, black hair in pigtails with bow ties stood up and began walking over. The boy looked panicked and quickly grabbed the girl's hand, dragging her away from the library, ignoring her many protests.

Ashley looked at me for clarification, but I had no idea what just happened either.

"So... What are you researching again?"

After a while of talking in the library, we walked home together, and decided to go to my house. We ran up to my room and coninued our conversation.

"You should ask for his number."

"Yeah, that could work, do you know his instagram?"

Ashley gasped.

"YES I DO."

Excitement spiked inside me.

"WHAT IS IT?!"

She grabbed my phone and opened up insta, typing in the search bar.

_melanie.martinez_

"Who is that?"

"It's that girl he hangs out with, I think she tagged him in a picture before."

"How do you know her account name?"

"Found it!"

Ashley said, avoiding the question, a smirk played on my lips. I'll ask her about that later. She tapped a picture of the boy bent over, laughing with the caption.

'love this lil bean 💕'

And sure enough he was tagged, with the user tylerrjoseph.

"Tyler."

I muttered the new name. Ashley clicked on his account and was graced with many selfies and pictures of him and Melanie. My jaw dropped.

"I like this kid."

Ashley said with a smile, her thumb hovered over the follow button and I gasped and quickly grabbed the phone back.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!"

"What?!"

"I can't follow him!"

"Why not?"

"Are you actually fucking kidding me."

"What? I follow a lot of people in school I don't know."

I shoved the phone in her face.

"HE'S HOT."

"Fine, whatever, you better make a move soon or I will."

I rolled my eyes and changed the subject. She ended up sleeping over, hopefully we can get up in time to catch the bus.
