JAEDEN
I woke up with a smile on my face and a chime from my phone. I reached for it from my nightstand and turned it on. It was a text from Jack, one of my best and only friends from home.
SmoothGrazer: Hey Jae, I'm sorry
I haven't texted you in
awhile. How are you
and Noah?
Me: That's okay, buddy.
I'm sorry I didn't text
either, it's just been really
hectic since I've got here. I'm
okay, and Noah is
doing better than I thought.
How are you and Finn?
SmoothGrazer: No need for apologies,
Jae Jae. Finn and I are still
struggling with school lol, but we
miss you, buddy
Me: I miss you guys, too.
I'll be home before you
know it
SmoothGrazer: How long are
you going to be gone?
Me: I don't know...a
month or 2 maybe? I
want to spend as much time
with Noah as I can and I also
met someone
I was about to delete the message but I accidentally hit send. Stupid fucking buttons. I tried to unsend but Jack already read the message.
Shit.
SmoothGrazer: MY BOI
DID WHAT
Me: I DIDN'T MEAN TO
SEND THAT
SmoothGrazer: HANG ON I'M
ADDING FINN
Me: JACK DON'T
SmoothGrazer has added TheWolfhard to the group chat
SmoothGrazer: FINN! Daddo
met someone!
Oh jeez.
TheWolfhard is typing...
TheWolfhard: Wait what?!
SmoothGrazer: Jaeden met
someone while he's away!
TheWolfhard: Whoa, really
Jaeden?
Me: ......
Me: Maybe
SmoothGrazer: Tell us!
Me: Alright, fine!
His name is Wyatt
and his mom is like
best friends with mine
and they live really
close to us
TheWolfhard: How close?
Me:...
Me: We're sort of
Me: Neighbors
SmoothGrazer: YOU'RE
NEIGHBORS?!
Me: Yeah, but, it's
no big deal. We're
friends. Besides...he's not
gay...probably
TheWolfhard: Well, have
you asked him?
Me: Umm, no...
SmoothGrazer: Ask him
out!
Me: Jack, I don't know
him that well. I'm not
just gonna ask him out
TheWolfhard: Relationships
take time, Jackie
SmoothGrazer: Yeah,
you're right, Finnie
Me: Am I missing
something here?
SmoothGrazer: NO
TheWolfhard: NO
Me: Mhm
Okay
Sure
Me: Well, I'm gonna
go okay, guys? I'll
talk again soon
SmoothGrazer: Alright, buddy.
Have fun, I love you
TheWolfhard: Ditto
Me: I will. I
love you guys
I clicked off my phone and sighed. I miss them a lot already and it's only been a few days. Depression has been hitting hard, but at least I have Mom, Millie, and Noah to keep me happy here while I miss them.
Them, and, Wyatt...
He's all I've been able to think about. I don't think I've ever been so intrigued about someone. His soft caramel eyes, his dimples, his golden-brown curls, his soothing voice, his camera...
Something about him made me enticed to know more about him. To get to be his friend. But something also told me not to get too attached.
Tragedy seems to run in my family. But I'm already too drawn in.
I looked out my window and there he was, his curls draping at his eyes as he gazed out the window. I was about to look away when I watched him wave. I smiled and waved back before turning away.
When I peeked back, he was still looking.
