Jonah's POV
after the bell went i went straight to my locker, still thinking about what happened at lunch. why can't i get it out of my head? it was just a game, i could've done that to anyone. but it felt like more than a game. i don't know. and why did Jack pick Sadie anyways?
after i closed my locker i walked up to Jack.
"hey bro." i said
"hey."
"so, i was just wondering. at lunch when we were playing truth or dare, how come you picked Sadie for me to kiss?"
he looked worried as he faced me.
"well i just picked random. i was about to pick Maddie but i just randomly picked Sadie instead. why?"
"oh. just because she was acting funny after it happened. i mean she was blushing a lot and in gym it looked like she was avoiding me."
suddenly it occurred to me.
"wait. does she like me or something like that? do you know if she might like me?"
Jack's eyes grew wide and right when he was about to open his mouth he dashed away. what was going on?
i decided to ask Corbyn who was talking to Daniel and Zach.
"hey do you know what's going on with Jack?"
"what do you mean?"
"he's acting weird."
"bro, it's jack! what do you expect?" he laughed.
"oh good point."
"hey wanna walk home together?"
"yeah Jack disappeared somewhere."
we said bye to Zach and Daniel and left the school.
as we were walking, i kept replaying the kiss over and over in my head. and how Sadie was trying to hide from me during PE. Corbyn noticed my silence and knew what it was about.
"dude, it was just a little kiss. why are you freaking out about it?"
"because i like her."
shit. why did i say that? i instantly regretted it, i hoped Corbyn wasn't paying attention.
"what?" he stopped walking.
he was paying attention.
"why tf did i say that?"
"do the rest of the boys know?"
"nope. but i have a feeling Sadie likes me and that Jack for some reason knows she does."
"wow. so how are you two going to handle it? you guys literally see each other every minute through your windows."
"there are these things called blinds," i said sarcastically.
"i know but your windows are still across from each other. and what if she does like you? you guys will both like each other but you guys won't even know that you like each other."
i stayed quiet for a second so i could process that in my brain. he was right. but first i have to know if she likes me, but how?
"you're right. i'll figure it out."
"you sure?"
"yep."
we stopped talking to each other because we were at my house. i said bye to Corbyn, who continued walking. he said bye to me and i started walking up my driveway. i saw Sadie walking up hers. i don't think she noticed me so without even thinking i waved at her and she caught sight of me, she didn't wave back but smiled a cute and awkward smile. she then ran into her house.
i think she maybe does like me. but when will i find out?
