eighteen ☆ what are you two doing?

corbyn's pov:

i was laying on my bed, just listening to some music, when all of a sudden, i hear knocking on my door.

"come in," i declared, taking my airpods out of my ears.

brooke quietly came in my room, and slowly closed the door.

"brooke, what do you need?" i asked.

"can i talk to you... about jonah?" brooke whispered, sitting on my bed.

"yeah, sure, what is it?" i inquired.

"i think he likes me, as in more than friends," brooke started.

i wasn't as surprised as i expected when brooke said she thinks jonah likes her. it's obvious. but, i can't just expose jonah, so i said, "what makes you say that?"

"how he acts around me," brooke answered, "he seemed so protective over me because of the whole instagram thing. yes, we're best friends, but maybe he likes me more than that?"

"i mean, i don't know, i never really payed attention to jonah's actions around you. i always kind of assumed you two were just friends," i lied.

"do you know if he likes me or not?" brooke asked.

"n-no, jonah never talked to me about that stuff," i lied again, "wait... the real question, is do you like him?"

brooke shrugged, "i'm not sure. jonah's like my best friend, but i feel like i'm catching feelings. please don't tell anyone, especially daniel."

"i know, i promise," i declared, sticking out my pinky.

brooke interlocked her pinky with mine, and now i was sworn to secrecy.

out of nowhere, daniel walked in, "what are you two doing?"

"just talking," brooke remarked, exiting my room.

daniel gave us a weird look, and carried on.
