Ah ha ha are we gonna talk about the fuckin 4 month brake I just unintentionally took? No. No we will not......
I instinctively stepped back another step
But he held his smirk and stepped closer again
Again, I stepped back, awkwardly giggling now
Wtf is he doinnnnn
He, again, stepped closer
I tried to step back again but I was now against my wall
How cliche.
He stepped closer.
There was now maybe only a finger length between us
He started laughing and walked away and sat on my bed
"Hahahaha you should've seen your face!" He laughed
"Wow. Not funny." I say now starting to laugh now too
Who am I kidding ofc he wasn't REALLY about to kiss me hahaha lol hahaaa
Welp there goes my sanity
I walk over and look through my bookshelf
"Do you like reading?" I ask
The answer will def be a phat no
"Wellllll not really... But like it's not that I'm not open to it- I just don't ever like, find myself... reading...." He stutters
But then he got up and came over to my bookshelf too
"What do you have lets read something," he says and starts poking through the books
"*cough* Innocent *cough*" I laugh
"IM INTERESTED NOW OK" he laughs out
And that's what we did... We picked out a short book and read it
Idek how but we just sat next to each other against the window on the floor... And read... For 2 and a half straight hours till he got called home...

"What's up?" I whisper back
"Sooo you goin to homecoming with anyoneee?"
"I'm not sure yet I completely forgot about it till now haha"
"What about Nickkk? I saw y'all hanging out at Targettt"
"Oh I have noo idea about that"
"Wait so you guys aren't dating?"
