take it back / h.s

two

- a month later - 

after a month of following each other, he had never liked her posts but she liked his. she rarely ever posted to begin with but as for him, he posted at least a picture a week. each time he would post a picture, scarlet would go through his account watching the videos and looking at the pictures all over again, each time becoming a little more infatuated with him. 

scarlet was watching that 70s show until her best friend, luna spammed her phone with text messages. scarlet pressed the notifications and bit her lip when she saw the screenshots luna had sent her. 

luna was the only person to know about scarlets little tiny crush on angelus.novis. she still didnt know his name. she couldn't find it anywhere. 

one of his friends mustve taken pictures of him and posted them on her Instagram and they took scarlets breath away. 

scarlet texted luna back with many typos and random punctation in the middle of the sentence. scarlet went on Instagram and saw that angelus.novis had posted one of the photos taken of him. 

he had posted the photo of him with his chin resting in his palm. his caption was 'your lips tasted like nicotine and i got addicted'. 

did he have a girlfriend? scarlet wondered. or was he seeing somebody?

school had gotten out a month ago and she couldn't remember ever seeing him but she knew he went to the school. 

she liked the pictures, leaning onto her back so she could stare at her bedroom ceiling. she covered her face with her hands and curled into a ball knowing he would never give her a second glance.
