Living In Stereo

Holy macaroni. Why is this happening. I can't think straight, he's probably just saying that because we are the only two in the group that aren't 'practically dating' I mean we all know Maya and Chris are even though they don't know we know, he couldn't have really meant it.
"Ethan! Where were you?" Maya laughs, oh god. I look down at my plate a break the pizza into tiny pieces with my fingers to avoid eye contact with him. Everything is going to be so awkward now.
"I was just checking snapchat..."

"Bring the pizza into the theatre, may as well watch another movie" Chris suggests. I nod eagerly and rush upstairs, instead of sitting on the beanbag with Ethan I sit in between Dani and Maya.
"What movie?" Chris asks.
"How about the spongebob movie," Maya suggests we agree and I sink down into the couch. I'm currently in the worst mood ever.

"Steph do you like Ethan in a more than friends way?" Dani whispers to me. I was going to tell her no but if I think really deeply I actually don't know. Ethan and I have been friends for the longest time. I met him on the first day of highschool. We had to go and get the bulletin together. I met Jakob and Chris through him just hours later and of course Maya was already my friend. He makes me happy and a completely worry free person and even though I can be quite rude he never gives up and always make me laugh. Maybe I do like him, maybe i'm just to scared to admit it because our friendship is so good, it's so rare. Maybe being with him would start a new adventure, even better than our friendship. But what if it just blows up and destroys everything? I'd loose my best friend...

"No, he's one of my best friends Dani," even if I did like him, I am definitely not ready  to go any further than a friendship and besides, I do not want to ruin our friendship.

"Okay, just go easy with him... he really likes you and he was kinda upset before... well really upset before..."
"How do I turn hi, down then?" I ask Dani
"I don't know, but I really want you to think about your feelings towards him, I don't want to interfere but I know you two both like eachother very much and you're just to scared to go any further but you can't be scared all your life you have to take risks and if your relationship maybe doesn't go well, you two already have a friendship that could never break so you would go back to how it was before, I'm sure." Danis rights, she's always right. Maybe I should talk to him I don't know what what to do. But I know I have to talk to him sooner or later before things get out of hand and we do lose our friendship.

I crawl off the couch to the beanbag where Ethan was sitting and he shuffles over. "Hey..." I whisper
"Hey, I'm sorry..."
"You really like me?"
"Steph, I told you, I'm sorry"
"I just wanted to let you know that I like you too..." he smiles and spreads the blanket over me, I rest my head on his chest and our hands interlock, it felt really good.

I should be a couples therapist or something. I honestly thought Steph and Ethan were going to be the first to get together. They're only cuddling now but I know they'll make it official soon. We should have a triple date or something.

"Hey Hun," Jakob whispers. I feel like I haven't spoken to him in ages.
"Hey, i'm sorry I haven't really been with you a lot tonight," I say snuggling into him and reaching for the blanket next to me.
"Don't worry, I've been watching Maya and Chris being mushy and stuff, it's so weird seeing them two normal. Well seeing Maya normal." We laugh lighty and drift to sleep not bothering to watch the rest of spongbob.

-next day-

I stretch my arms up and a pain shoots through my leg resulting me in kicking Jakob. I stand up and fall. I have a leg cramp and immediately grab my foot.
"Shit," I curse loudly, I hear Jakob groan, dammit I woke him up.
"Babe, you ok?" Jakob asks sitting up barely able to open his eyes.
"Yeah sorry," I say with guilt. Everyone else is already downstairs so Jakob and I get dressed and meet them.

"What do you guys want to do today?" Maya asks.
"Let's go to the park" Jakob smiles
"Sounds good" Chris says while stuffing his face with toast.

It's probably about 40 degrees outside and we're all dying. The walk to the park which usually takes us about 5 minutes from mine and Jakob's block and 2 minutes from The other's block took us almost 10 minutes. We arrive and immediately sit under a shady tree.

"So guys, what should we do for the rest of the day?" Steph asks,
"Just lay down in the shade I think, Jake, can you run to the ice cream shop and get us some ice creams?" Chris laughs
"I'll go with him!" I squeal linking arms with Jakob.

We slowly walk to the ice-cream shop and sigh of happiness when a rush of cool air hits us.
"This is heaven," I gasp. Jakob laughs and orders the ice-cream.
"I can't believe we have school tomorrow. I'm really scared, I don't know anyone, only people who went to camp." I say as we start walking back to the park.
"Chill, we will show you around."
"Thanks," is smile and kiss him. He puts his arm around me and we walk into the park gates.

"Finally you guys took forever." Maya whines snatching an ice cream out of my hand.
"Babe- I mean dude calm down," Chris laughs awkwardly standing up.
"Chris you don't need to hide it we all know. I saw you at the park the night of Dani's first soccer training." Ethan says and Maya and Chris just shrug.
"I guess you were going to find out anyway." He sighs and sits back down.
