All the Ways to Tell You

Texts part II

(Grey's POV)

Grey got home and Emily came up to him with a sly smirk. "So...do you like Corrie?" She asked. Grey's eyes widened. "What? Psh. No. I mean, I like her as a friend she's cool but..." she wasn't buying it. Emily raised an eyebrow. "Oh come on." She urged. "It's SO obvious! I'm your sister. Just tell me! I won't tell her, I swear." Grey rolled his eyes. His mom and step dad weren't home and his older sisters were at college, except for one who was on a camping trip with friends. "Fine, yeah." He grumbled. Emily had succeeded. "I knew it! You know how to pick a girl Grey, she's
awesome. I like her, she likes musicals and stuff. She's really nice and funny too."
"Yeah I know." He said and went to his room. He pulled out his phone and texted his friends Nick and Kuyper.

Grey-I went to Corrie's house! We played video games and stuff. I want to ask her out or something...what should I do??

He knew Nick and Kuyper weren't exactly the best people to take advice from, but he just wanted support mostly.

Nick-Wait CORRIE?? You like CORRIE???

Oh yeah, he hasn't told them he liked her. They all went to elementary and middle school together, him, Nick, Kuyper, Corrie, and her friends. He had liked her since the 7th grade but hadn't told Nick and Kuyper yet.

Grey-Yeah? What about it?

Nick-Bro like, the Corrie we knew in elementary school?

Grey rolled his eyes.

Grey-Yeah. Now please help! Grey didn't think he would have the courage to ask out Corrie, but he would at least try tomorrow. He closed his eyes and imagined her. Buzz. He looked at his phone. It was Kuyper.

Kuyper-Woah woah woah dude CORRIE? That's cool. I never knew. She's alright, and pretty funny too. She got my humor too, and watched Pewdipie like me. Well maybe you should ask her to fro yo or ice team or something.

Grey thought for a minute. No, not that. That would be over to fast, and I want to be with her for as long as possible...Maybe I should ask Emily... He got up and walked over to her room. He rapped on the door. "Hey Em?"
"Yeah?" She called back.
"I need your help with something..."
