SAFE ||(Colby Brock)

Secrets

Happy birthday to me. Even though this is published a few days later:')

I woke up to the sound of my phone's alarm going off. It was already 8AM. I checked Twitter and saw another one of Colby's ridiculous posts. I couldn't help but laugh a little.

Do I like Colby?? I thought.

I pulled down the top bar on my phone and saw a notification saying he'd posted a picture on Instagram. I clicked on it and thought of all the things Colby does to make me smile and laugh.

He's nice, funny, smart, and... dAmn.. I thought when the picture loaded. Did I really just say that!?!

I decided to take a cute lil pic of me still in bed and post it, hair messed up a little and everything. Five minutes later, it already had 7 likes and 1 comment. Who the hell is up this early on a Saturday? I said checking the comment. My face turned burning red when I saw it was from him; Colby. 'Wow...😜' he said. I was extremely confused, thoughts and questions darting around in my head.
What does this mean!? Does he like me? Ack!
I ignored the comment for now and got up, put on a hoodie to cover the shorts I sleep in, put my hair in a ponytail, and slowly trudged down the stairs. I almost slipped once because my legs were as half asleep as the rest of me was.
It was completely silent except for the washer and dryer humming.
I pulled out my phone and saw I had a text from my best friend Anna. I smiled and opened my phone to her message page.

Anna:
Hey. Haven't talked in a week.
You:
Yeah, sorry. Been a lil busy.
Anna:
Ooh. With what? Your new "job" sounds interesting.
You:
Well nothing much. Filming and editing just takes forever.
Anna:
Ah. What about that cute guy you told me about? 😏. What's his deal?
You:
Shhhh! Idk... I kinda like him but let's just say he gives me a feeling he likes me too. Just look at what he commented on my new insta post from this morning!

30 seconds later, there was a notification that she liked my post, a reply to his comment, and a text.

Anna:
Wow. He seems into you. To should tell him you like him. What could go wrong?
You:
Everything... He could not like me then I'd have an awkward relationship with a roommate I have to see everyday.
Anna:
Oh, come on. Take chances! That's his motto isn't it?
You:
Eh... I'll text you how your "brilliant" idea goes later. Bye.
Anna:
See ya! And I told you so. just gonna say that ahead of time. ;)

Anna was the kind of person who didn't let fear hold her back from what she wanted. However, I was always held back by the thought of what would happen in the future, like cause and effect.

Much shorter chapter. But happy birthday to me and my best friend since birth:).
