Gabe
It's finally time. I look at the clock in anticipation, wondering when he was going to get here. I begin to tap my foot rapidly and make tiny adjustments to the house.

I can feel my heart race as each second passes. Nobody was home since everyone in the house works late. Thoughts of being forgotten rushed through my head as another minute passes.

I can feel anxiety build in me until the sound of the doorbell rings throughout the house. I feel a strong sense of relief as I go to open the door. "H-hey Gavin." I say stepping out of the way so that he could walk in.

"Hey." He says smiling walking inside. I close the door gently feeling my cheeks heat up from the smile. We go to the couch and sit down, I put on Netflix(maesi don't chu dare make a Netflix and Chill joke). "What movie are we watching?"

"Um, how about Catherine."(not a real movie it's a game I play it's really good 11/10 couldn't think of a real movie).

"Oh cool I think I've heard about that." He says leaning back into the couch as I start the movie.

It starts out like any other movie with some production company animated logo and a theatrical song. The movie then begins and we are silent.

During the movie a huge jump scare happens and jump slightly. When I finally relax I rest my hands, which were raised in defense, and accidentally place them on top of Gavin's.

"A-ah I'm sorry!" I squeak. Gavin doesn't say anything as I try to remove my hand. As I do so Gavin grabs it intertwining my fingers with his and leans in. My face grows redder and redder until his lips press onto mine.

I was taken aback by his bold move until I began to relax into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck. He begins to pull me closer as our lips worked in sync.

I hear the click of the door and we quickly pull apart, both of us are a bright red. My parental figure walks in and Gavin quickly stands up. "Anyways I should get going it's getting late, b-bye Gabe!" He says rushing out of the door.

I place my fingers to my lips still feeling the sensation of his lips on mine. "Why was your friend in such a rush to leave?" My mom asks placing her bag onto the counter.

"He had to be somewhere." I say getting up and shutting myself in my room, leaving my mother dumbfounded.

"Aaaaaawwee, no waayy!" The blonde gaped in awe. Maesi, Liz and Annie were listening to me retell last nights events.

"It's not one of your gay ships Annie, this is real life! We can't even look at each other." I hiss.

"But it's such a cute lay out!" Maesi gasps. Liz nods barely avoiding a nosebleed from excitement.

"Can you not." I grunt shooting them a death glare. The girl snicker and continue chanting about their cannon otp. I just let out an exasperated sigh and rest my head on the table. It seemed last nights events were on a constant loop in my head causing shivers to run down my spine.

"Ten bucks says Gabe's thinking about it." Annie jokes.

My head shoots up, "H-how did you know?!"

"I took eight hours out of my life to take free psychology courses and I don't regret it." I huff and put my head down again. I wish I wasn't here right now.
