"Oooohh, what's that paper?" Candice said as she quickly grabbed the paper in my hand.

"No! Give it back!" I said, and then I sighed.

"Fine. It was his phone number. That guy."

"Awe, I knew this would happen. I swear to God, you guys are going to be relationship goals."

"No, stop it. You and Frank are."

"Alex, please. I know I liked him, but we are just no."

"Aw, c'mon, I've never seem Frank before but you two seem cute."

Blink-182 is actually a really great band, I decided to check out their other albums and turns out one of my friends actually had one of their 90's albums.

(A/N : are you guys confused why are we talking about blink-182 now? lmao)

So I borrowed it, and it's called Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. I was listening to it right now, while my phone is on my hand.

"You can do this, Alex. You can do this." I mumbled to myself struggling, trying to text Andy.

I finally typed in a little 'hey' with a little smiley face to him. Waiting for an answer.

I waited minutes, and boom. Replied.

alex < hey :)
andy < Alex!! So glad you texted!
alex < ahahahah, yeah??

After that last text, I quickly asked Candice for help.

I cannot believe this. I just asked someone I liked to hang out with me. I just, can't.

Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm too scared of what you think
You make me nervous so I really can't eat

Those blink-182 lyrics are just going to be the actual footage of me this Friday. I've never been so nervous as hell. Holy shit.

// *fasts forward to Friday* //

"Today is the day. The day where I will end. The day Andy will never notice me." I said to Candice, panicking.
