A/N: I don't know what to say so here's a new story

Once we got to the dorm, Zach unlocked his door and Isaac come running up to him, engulfing him in a hug. Zach then groans and the rest of our friend group, along with Ava, Talia, and Kalvin, start bursting out laughing. 

"Hey! Get off!" he shoves Isaac off of him and walks to his room. I giggle as Isaac pouts. He then turns to me and smiles "Hey Isaac" I smile back "Hey Imani"

We greeted the rest to members and we decided on a movie night again. Kalvin and Talia decided to watch a horror movie again but Isaac says no that we watched a horror movie last time. They start arguing. To get out of the situation, Zach went to go make the popcorn and I joined him.

"Imani..." Zach said while looking at the ground. "Yeah?" I gave him a confused look. I could see his face turn serious. "I.. um.." he looks up at me. I wait for him to finish his sentence but he seems hesitant. "I've been thinking and I think I..." 

"What's taking you guys so long?" Zach was suddenly cut off by Kalvin. "Ah, Sorry Kalvin" I take out the bag of popcorn from the microwave and pour it in a bowl. I put another bag in and set the time and hand the bowl full of popcorn to Kalvin. "Thanks" He grabs the bowl and disappeared into the living room.

Once Kalvin left, there was an awkward silence between Zach and I. All was heard were the soft noises from microwave and the other guys talking. "So... what were you going to say?" I asked. "Um yeah..." He walks closer to me and whispers "I...I like you." My eyes widen, I didn't know what to say "You don't have to say anything right now..." he smiled sweetly but nervously. I smile "Thanks for understanding, Zach." 

The microwave dinged signaling the popcorn was done. He poured the popcorn in the bowl and we walked back into the living room. The rest of our friends were all spread out. Some on the couch and others on the floor. I sat in the couch in the space between Kalvin and Ava. I criss-cross my legs and put the bowl of popcorn on my lap.
