Levi
Don't forget the scroll see ya
Phone again.
Just waving emojis.
I reply with a simple, 'Okay,' and a nervous, but smiling emoji.

I get my phone and tap on my 'Crying and Sobbing Inside' playlist on Spotify.
Shuffle play.
Stone cold, stone, cold, you're dancin' with her while I'm starin' at my phon--Nope, too sad for Monday.
Okay, let me just tap on my....scrolling scrolling....Shower Jams playlist.
Shuffle play.
It started out as a feeling....
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought

I literally can't. Just can't. Levi. Ben. Not even going to mention Drake's occasional winks from his desk. I haven't told anyone. Not even my sister. Gladly, Katherine is avoiding me and eye contact. Phew.
I remember the end of the scroll. I remember the laugh. I remember the note caught by the teacher. I remember a smile. I remember him. I remember her. I remember tears.
Okay, I'm sorry I'm being an overly deep philosopher about my life.
12:30. Lunch. I'm just walking around as usual, and Ben makes me look at him. He grins as soon as he catches me looking at him. He waves to me, doing a beckoning gesture to come over to him. "Hey."
"Hi...?" I smile weirdly and can't help staring at his hair for some reason.
Ben laughs and notices me staring, "What's up with you?"
Laughing nervously, I shrug.
Just as if it couldn't get anymore awkward, Levi and Drake show up. Noo...I'll probably be gone by the end of the day. Too many of them. I literally--"Luna!" Katherine's hair bounces off her shoulders as she strolls over into our cult-looking circle.
