After taking quite the nap, I had awoken to my phone flashing constantly, it was 5:05pm, I quickly picked up my phone and began to read through my notifications.

Aliyah 💞
hey girl, are you okay? I haven't seen you since lunch. -4:42PM

Zion 💍
Y/N you good ? me and Aliyah are worried about you. -4:41PM

Zion's message made me laugh, I bet they were.

Edwin 🤞🏼
I seen you leave quick and you looked upset, are you okay? do you wanna talk? -3:15PM

At least Edwin seemed genuinely concerned.

I opened his message, and replied, "I was a little upset, and yeah, can you meet me somewhere?"

He replied in seconds.

Edwin 🤞🏼
of course, where? -5:09PM

I replied "the café down the block from the school, cool?"

Edwin 🤞🏼
I'll be there -5:10PM

I smiled lightly to myself at Edwin's kindness, and quickly ran to the bathroom, brushing my teeth, fixing my hair and throwing on a pair of slides.

I made my way downstairs, grabbed the car key's off the kitchen counter and raced out the door, "I'll be home in an hour" I announced, before shutting the door on my way out.

-

I had finally made my way to that Café. I walked across the parking lot and pushed the door open causing the bell above the door to ring signaling someone had walked in causing most of the customers to look back including Edwin, I made my way to the booth he was sitting in and slid in the seat across from him.

"So what happened?" he greeted me.

"Well hello to you too" I laughed lightly.

He chuckled, "I'm sorry, hi Y/N, how are you? what happened?" he asked rephrasing his initial question.

"I'm good" I giggled before making a straight face and beginning with the story. "Well, Zion was supposed to meet me at my locker and he was taking too long so I decided to head out, when I was on my way out I had just happened to look down the opposite hall and I seen Zion basically sucking face with Aliyah."

Edwin mouth feel agape, "isn't she your best friend?"

"was" I corrected him.

"Wow. That's a really douche move, I thought Zion was better than that. I'm really sorry Y/N. I don't know you that well but I'm pretty sure you didn't deserve that." he says.

"It's fine Edwin, thanks for listening" I said in annoyance whilst getting up from my seat to order a coffee.

"Wait" he announces causing me too look back at him, "would you wanna go to a movie or something?, or maybe head to the house? the boys aren't there at the moment."

"Sure." I said without even thinking.

He laughed lightly to himself, flashing a big smile, showing his bright white teeth.

"Can we go to your place?" I ask, embedding my bottom lip between my teeth.

I watch his face turn a bright rose red, "uh, y-yeah, if you w-want to." he states, sounding more like a question.

I laugh lightly, as he makes his way out the booth leading the way out of the Café, and I follow behind him.

We walk down the long street, to his house, which isn't so far but this long silence makes it feel as it is.

I breathe out heavily, in frustration of the uncomfortable silence.

"Uhm, so what do you want to do when we get there?" he says nervously, scratching the back of his head.

That made me question what his intentions were, why would he be nervous? We were just hanging out, as friends.

"I mean, we can hang out? Just chill, right." I respond.

"Yeah, yeah, right." he chuckled lightly, "hang out, just chill" he whispered to himself, barely above a whisper, thinking I couldn't hear.

Is it possible that I might have feelings for Edwin? or am I just upset about the Zion thing?

Either way, I wouldn't let my confusion affect my actions, I couldn't do that to myself.
