awkward encounters

work goes by surprisingly fast for some reason. Lauren and I basically talked the whole day long, as per usual, about boys and how they can be sometimes.

We both walk back to our apartments which are pretty much right next door to each other's. She texted her brother about coming to meet her best friend and he agrees, and Lauren informs me he'll be here around 7:00, and it's 6:17 now.

I decide to take off my uniform and put on something more casual. I end up putting on just black leggings and a red sweatshirt that's gigantic on me and quickly put my hair in two French braids. In record timing I'm ready with ten minutes to spare. I decide to put on a bit of concealer and mascara.

I wait on my phone scrolling through my instagram feed, but only to be interrupted by knocking on my door. I jump up and quickly run to the door obviously knowing who it is.

I open the door, speechless. It was the guy earlier who tried to get my number on the street. "Zac Efron magazine girl!" He exclaims. "Creepy dude who asked me for my number" I answered back not as perky as he did before.

"You two know each other?" Lauren asks puzzled. "Um Lauren he was the one I was talking about earlier," I explain awkwardly. And she just quietly mouths an "ohh."

"So you were talking about me then?" Johnny smirks. "Not good things" I retort extremely sassily. Meanwhile, Lauren is still beyond confused.

"John do you always catcall girls?" Lauren asked surprised. "No, only pretty ones" john answered back and winked at me. As I gagged and rolled my eyes.

"Oh well, this is kind of awkward," Lauren says, breaking the ice. "Yeah a little bit," I say sarcastically. While Johnny is focused on Lauren I decide to survey him up and down.

He looks kind of cute, he had a black sweatshirt on and black, ripped jeans. He has pretty green eyes, and mine are just ugly brown.

"Were you staring at me?" He asks, taunting me. "No- I- um, no." I say barely managing to get words out.

I think to myself, god kenzie you're so stupid why did you stutter like that? He's gonna think you like him or something. But what if I did like him?

Snapping back to reality, I decide to grab a remote and get Netflix on the tv. "Do you guys want to watch a movie or something?" I ask them both, trying to make things less awkward than they already are.

"Sure" they say in unison. We look through all the movies until we find the perfect one; hush. "I'm not good with scary movies," I say. I can pretty much feel johnny smirking.

I'm sitting in the middle of johnny and Lauren and I keep jumping at any jump scares and screaming when he's behind her. Towards the end when he gets into the house I jump and some how land into johnny.

For some reason, I don't move, and neither does he. We just stay there and watch the movie while I use the blanket to cover my eyes for all the scary parts. The movie ends and I am more than relieved.

"Well I won't be able to sleep tonight," I joke, but definitely won't actually be able to sleep. "I think I'm going to go," lauren states and I just nod my head.

Johnny gets up to leave but I stop him. "Can you just stay here for a little bit please?" I ask desperately because honestly, I'm scared. "Uh, yeah sure," he answers. Before I know it I fall asleep on the couch with johnny sitting next to me.
