I haven't gotten to talk with Gaten very much and it makes me sad. To say that. The opening of stranger things season 3 today and I'm excited.
I was seen in the trailer which is really fun and awesome.
I've been thinking a lot about how I left off Gaten. I told him that the kiss didn't effect our friendship and then I told him that it meant a lot to me.
I'm going to see Millie and Sadie today so I'm gonna talk to them about it they give good advice.
I packed my things for the sleepover and then hopped in my moms car. She drove me to Millie's and I got out of the car. I walked up and rang her doorbell.
I was greeted by Millie and I walked in and she rushed me immediately to her bedroom.
I walked in and saw Sadie sitting on the ground painting her nails. "I haven't seen you in forever" Millie said looking at me.
"I know it's been a long time" I said. "So tell us has anything happened since we saw you last" Sadie said.
"Umm well something happened between me and Gaten" I said. Sadie looked up from painting her nails and ran over to me.
Millie sat straight up doing the same.
"What do you mean something happened between you too" Sadie said. I stared at my hands for a second and then said "when we left I said I kinda liked the kiss and I kissed him on the cheek and hugged and then he looked kinda astonished and so I ran to my moms car" I said.
"Oh my God" Millie said. "I know right I'm really don't know what to do I'm scared I ruined our friendship" I said freaking out.
"No stop you didn't ruin your guys friendship" Sadie said. "Ya your have to talk to him about this" Millie said.
"Ya but it's gonna be really awkward" I said.
"Ya it probably will be but when we come back for filming it's gonna be really awkward" Sadie said.
"Fine I guess I have to talk to him" I said.
"Isn't the Star Wars premier tomorrow night" I said. "Yup" Millie said.
Ok you can just tell him then how you feel I thought.
I went to bed tonight thinking what I was gonna say what if it blows up and on E news and says
NEW STAR ON HIT SHOW STRANGER THINGS FALLS FOR LOVE INTEREST GATEN MATARAZZO.
I have no idea what I'd do. If anything happens I'm obviously gonna get a bunch of hate from everyone.
I woke up to see Millie on her phone in bed and Sadie still sleeping.
"What time is it" I ask tiredly"
"7:39" she said back.
I looked at my phone and I saw a text from Gaten.
Meet me at the mall at 11:00 today.
I looked over at Sadie who was still sleeping.
I got my stuff together and brushed my teeth. "Hey Millie" I whispered. "What" she said back.
"I have to go home and get ready I have to meet Gaten today" I said.
She looked up at me and gave me wide eyes "good luck" she said and I walked out of the room.
I had my mom come pick me up. I got in and drove home. I have to look good for him I thought and went and took a shower.

I did my hair and then finally got done. I looked at the clock and it said 10:45. I gotta go I thought and my mom dropped me off at the mall.
I walked in and texted Gaten.
Me:Where do you wanna meet I'm here
Gaten: over by the food courts
I looked around and saw some people with food.
I saw Gaten and his puffy hair and walked over to him. I smiled and he smiled at me.
I walked over to and him "hey" he said. "Hey Gaten why did you wanna talk today" I said.
"I Umm just wanted to ask you something" he said.
"Ya sure anything" I said with a smile. "Uh will you uh be my date for the Star Wars premier" he asked nervously. "Sure that sounds so fun why not" I said.
"Really that's awesome I mean I will look forward to see you tonight" he said.
"I will too" I said back. "Ok let's get some food I'm starving" I said and got up and went to the Chick-fil-A line.
Tonight is gonna be lots of fun that's for sure I'm excited.
Maybe things will be great in the end or will it.
