Everyone stares at me and I turn crimson. "Hashtag Merome!" Adam yells. I roll my eyes and get up to check on Jerome. I knock softly on his door. "Jay-rome, buddy?" He doesn't answer. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. I decide to knock again, harder this time. "Jerome, please, dood!" I beg. Ty shows up next and to me and asks, "Wanna see if he'll talk to me?" "Yeah, sure," I say sadly.

I walk back into the living room and plop on the couch. I put my face in my hands and feel the cushion sink down as someone sits next to me. "You okay, buddy?" Jason asks. "I'm pretty sure Jerome hates me now for embarrassing him or something, so yeah I'm doing fine," I say bitterly. "No need for hostility!" Adam calls. from his spot on the floor. "Ugh. Sorry guys," I mumble as Ty walks back in.

"Guys, he won't let me in. I'm worried about him," he says, picking at his fingernail. "Here I have an idea," says Ian, throwing over a paper clip. "Alright, I'll be right back," I say, getting up again.

I ruined our friendship. I made Mitch feel awkward. Everyone thinks in weird and gay. I just can't. I decide just to sneak out the window and hop into my car. I just need to sleep.

"Please let me in, dood. I'm worried about you," Mitch says. I hear a weird noise and the lock clicks open. I gasp softly and unhook the window as fast as I can. It clicks open. Yes! We're on the first floor so it's barely a jump.

I hop into the car but it doesn't start. "Damn," I mumble under my breath. I just wanna go home and take those razors out from under the sink. No, that can't be my go to. But it's such a sense of relief. I bang my hand on the steering wheel, accidentally beeping the car horn.

Now, of course, Mitch knows here I am. Thanks, car. He runs over and opens up the door. "I'm sorry, Buddy," he smiles, although his eyes aren't into it. "For what? I'm the weird one everyone hates now," I say. "No, that's not true!" he assures me. I just look away. "Wanna try that kiss again?" Before I can answer his lips are on mine. My heart beats out of my chest and I hope Mitch can't tell.

"Wanna order a prizza?" I ask after a while. "Fo' sure!" he answers excitedly, sprinting back to house. I laugh and follow in, thankful no one is still in the living room.

We eat pizza and watch movies until it gets late and I decide to go home. "Bye, guys!" I yell back to everyone, getting in the car. "Wait, Mitch!" Jerome yells. "What?" I yell back. "My car broke remember? Can you drive me home too?" "Sure!" I call back and he sprints up to me.

On the way home there's silence. Not an uncomfortable silence, more like a beautiful silence. Jerome is probably thinking about our kiss too.

Before I go to bed I think about our kiss. Do I really like Jerome?

~Next day~

<Jerome's pov> lol so many pov changes this chapter sorry XD

I decide to call Mitch up so we can hang out. I punch in his number and bring the phone up to my ear. "Hey! dood!" he says. "What's up?" "I wanna go see a movie!" I tell him. "Cool! Which one?" "I dunno, we'll see when get there." "Hokeyp, see you in a few!" "See ya!" I hang up and start to get ready.

Twenty minutes later I pic Mitch up in my red Ferrari. We jam out to Katy Perry on the way there and I open up Mitch's door. He hops out we get I line for our tickets. Two girls that look about nineteen start whispering and pointing at us. I tap Mitch on the shoulder and say, "Oh naw, fangirls!"

As soon as I'm done warning him they rush over. "Oh Meh Gawd! Is that... Are you... Is he... I. Can't. Breathe." one of them says, bouncing on her heels. "Alison! You're scaring them!" I laugh and ask, "So that's Alison, whats your name?" "Oh I'm Evie!" the taller one says. "Do you guys wanna sign my shirt?" Alison exclaims. "Alison, really? Calm yourself." "Sure," Mitch says, laughing. The blonde girl teaches in purse and pulls out a red pen. "Oh look! She has our shirt!" I exclaim. "Who doesn't?" she says.

Mitch and I both sign the shirt. "So what movie are you guys going to see?" Evie asks. "The Possession," Mitch answers. (a/n idk if this is a real movie I just made it up) "Oh my gosh us too!" Alison says excitedly.

We buy coke and popcorn and head to the theatre. Evie and Alison sit two rows in front of us and the movie starts. Mitch and the two girls keep getting scared. I'm laughing because movies don't easily scare me.

When it's over, I give the two girls my number. "You guys are pretty cool, call us up sometime if you wanna hang out," I smile. "Okay wait. One thing," Alison says. "What?" Mitch and I say in unison. "Is hashtag Merome a thing?" I blush and Mitch says, "That's confidential." The girls look at each other wide-eyed and run off giggling into their car. Mitch and I laugh and head home too.
