It had been a week since he asked you about the new girl's number, you still talked everynight and sometimes at school, until the moment got ruined by his dumb question that he just wouldn't let go of. By now this new girl was also part of your 'group' and so everytime she was around you, you just couldn't help but try to find a reason for him to want her. No offence but she does not seem like his type AT ALL. It was the last hour of the day when he decided to walk up to you and your friends while everyone was waiting for the next teacher to walk into the classroom. As you see him walk up to you, you can't help but smile and get excited. He talks to you for like a second when out of nowhere, "Hey Lena, what's your number?". Your smile immediately fades away as he starts laughing and she just laughs the question off. You try not to look jealous, but considering subtlety wasn't your best trait, you probably looked more jealous than the little kids that can't do certain things yet because of their young age.
You turn back to your other friend Sophie and decide to just start a conversation with her to ignore what happening behind you between him and Lena, when the next teacher finally arrives and he is told to go back to his own seat. You take a deep breath but failed to concentrate for the rest of the day, all you could do was overthink about what just happened and what could happen in the future. You sometimes looked at him and caught him looking back, which led you to looking away immediately and closing your eyes. But it's not because you can't see him being confused about what just happened, that he isn't.
A FEW DAYS LATER...
You're sitting on your bed when you get a message from your friend Sophie, after a couple of minutes of talking you ask her about the situation between Lena and him. She immediately responds with "Do you like him?", you tell her no because obviously you don't. He's your 'friend' and you're just a little confused is all. She tells you not to think anything of it because so far Lena has never actually given her number to him. You decide to just text Lena and ask her the same thing Sophie asked you; "Do you like him?". She didn't want to answer the question at first, which was a sign that obviously she did. After a while she says that she does, a little bit at least. You laugh it off and try to joke with her about the situation, when she tells you she doesn't want to have this conversation and stops replying. You were laughing in your bed for the past hour, but on the inside... You had never felt more upset.
