Dear You. | scl

"Sooo.... how was it?" Tati squeals grabbing onto Jenna's arm and pulling her into our huddle. We're currently eating lunch in our secret spot behind the gym. It's a bit dusty, but then again, our whole school is.

"I still can't believe you and Josh are a thing!" I gush poke Jen's side.

"You both need to calm down! It was one date! I don't even know if I'm feeling him like that!" She deadpans. The disappointment clear in both Tati and I's face.

"But it's Josh beauchamp!" Tati whines raising a spoonful of yogurt to her mouth. Honestly, Tati and I are way more invested in the possibilities of them than Jenna herself. It's kinda pathetic.

"Like we could've double dated and went on cool double dates and went shopping for those double dates! The possibilities were endless!" Tati rambles.

We're both looking at her with our brows furrowed. Sometimes Tati's priorities are a little askew.

"Oh sorry Bails, you can totally tag along" she offers completely not catching on.

"No thanks, I'm not 3 wheeling like the loser I am!" I protest causing us to roll over in a fit of giggles. Just then three figures tower over us. Tati was already on her feet and tackling Will, when I finally looked up to acknowledge them. One of the boys is Will's best friend Jayy but I don't think-- wait, I know him. Our eyes are locked as he takes a seat across from me. We all shift to form a circle on the floor, dumping the content in our lunch bags in the middle.

"You again" he smirking, taking a bite out of his apple.

"Wait, Gabe you met Bailey?" Tati says as she unwraps her breakfast burrito. Uh, it's one in the afternoon Tati. "Yeah, though I didn't get a chance to get his name because he hit me with a door and insisted I go on a date with him" I bluntly answer, cause a little blush to ride up his face.

"In my defense, I was consumed with guilt and thought treating her with ice cream was only right." There's this glint in his eyes as he says it, a sort of mischief look.

"Dude, you can't just assume everyone wants to go out with you!" Tati scoffs elbowing Gabe playfully. We laugh it off, proceeding to finish our lunch.

"Kaycee birthday party is tomorrow and Bailey bought the most glam dress ever!" Tati squeals, causing us to flinch a bit.

""Honestly, she's more into it then I am" I say truthfully, "I just got it because she left me no option."

"You'll thank me later-- trust me!"

Just then, the back doors of the gym are bursted open and a rack of basketballs are being pushed out. "Yo Josh, grab the last ball!" A voice says before emerging from behind the door. My heart stops from the moment he spoke. I know that voice from anywhere. His tank is sticking to his very toned body and his hair has fallen into his face. Let's just say I forgot how to breath.

"Seany boy!" Will hollers, causing his head to snap up. His dimples instantly molding, "Willy boy!" He greets walking over to our group. Josh and Ken running up from behind him.

"Is that Gabe DeGuzman?" Sean asks squinting for effect. Gabe stands up to greet them. Isn't he new?

"Oh damn, the whole gang!" Ken exclaims making his round of greets. "Bailey Sok." He smirks taking my hand and kissing it. Ken's always been the type for the dramatics. Still, I blush. He's kinda of a big deal at my school.
