❝ Where do we go from here? ❞
[ midsummer tryst ]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"What?"

You stared at him in shock. Were you being filmed? That had to be it right? Yeah, it was just some prank that Archie is pulling. There is no way in Hell, that he just said-

"I slept with Ms. Grundy."

You blinked and took a step back. You spluttered and stammered, not being able to form proper words.

"Why?" you asked.

His eyes darted to his shoes, and he chewed on the inside of his cheek. He stayed like that for a while clearly not having a good enough answer for you.

You sighed and leaned against the railing of your front porch and hung your head.

So much for telling him your feelings.

"What?" It was his turn to stare at you. Of course you said it out loud. You opened and closed your mouth like a fish out of water and that was probably the best way to describe how you felt.

Avoiding the subject you said, "So, I guess you're the teacher's pet now huh?"

Archie opened his mouth to retort, but you cut him off.

"No, Archie. It was never going to work out. The question now is, where do we go from here?"

His eyes softened and he looked completely lost. You shook your head and brushed past him, into your house.

"I'll see you later Arch," you told him. Leaving him there, on your front porch, alone with his thoughts.
