Love Is Real | Sarah x Ethan

Chapter 15 Sarah's P.O.V

     On Monday Josh and Cameron finally started dating, officially anyway. It's now Friday and this week has actually been pretty boring. Cameron and Josh are amazingly cute together. They've been hanging out more in class, walking to their lockers together, the basic things couples do.
     Now, I'm sitting at home with nothing to do. If I really wanted to I could text someone to see if they want to hang out or even if they're available to hang out, but I don't wanna bother anybody. I guess I just don't wanna be annoying.
     I stand up from the living room, heading into my bedroom and sitting down on my bed. I pull my phone out of my back pocket and check for any notifications before connecting it to it's charger and laying it on my bedside table. I then lay on my bed, getting under the covers and burying my face in the pillows. As I try to fall asleep, different thoughts rush through my head, making it slightly more difficult to slip out of reality and into a peaceful rest. These thoughts eventually surpass, leaving me to slip into a dreamless sleep.

~Time skip to 12:06 A.M.~

     I open my eyes, feeling tired per usual. For a moment I just stare at the ceiling, my eyes adjusting to the darkness of the room. My eyes wander to my desk with my notebook still open and my pencil laying on top of it.
     I sit up slowly, not wanting to get up too fast and become dizzy. I glance over at my nightstand and grab my phone, unplugging it and throwing the charging cord on the floor. I check Snapchat, seeing as I have a message. When I see who it's from my face brightens a little.
     "Hey, Sarah. I just wanted to see if you were available this weekend?" is what the message says.
     I think about my reply before I respond, putting my phone on the nightstand and staring up at the ceiling as I wait for an answer.

~Ethan's P.O.V. 12:17 A.M.~

     My phone's ringtone echos through my ears and I pick it up, scrolling through the notifications. I head to Snapchat, seeing Sarah had replied. I smile a little when I read what she had said.
     "Hey, sorry for the late reply. I just woke up. Anyway, I don't have anything planned this weekend, so I'm most likely free," she replies.
     I respond with, "Great! Would you want to go get coffee with me?"
     She reads it and doesn't respond right away, which worries me. I'm afraid she might say no. Then, she begins typing, my facing lighting up immediately.
     "That sounds great. When would you want to?" she asks.
     I think about my reply before saying, "How about Saturday around 3:00? Does that work for you?"
     "That sounds great," she replies.
     "Great! Now, I'm gonna go. You better get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Sarah," I say, extremely happy she said yes.
     "Goodnight," she responds.
     I don't know what it is about this girl, but she drives me crazy. Not in the psychotic kinda way, the good kind. The kind of crazy where I wanna be around her all the time. The kind of crazy where I want to talk to her when I'm not with anyone else, then again even when I'm with my friends she's still in the back of my mind.
     I think I'm developing feelings for her or something. I don't even know how that's possible seeing as I haven't known her very long. I don't even know that much about her. Then again, I feel as though I've known her for forever. I feel as if I've known her all my life despite us knowing so little about one another. I'm hoping to change that. Maybe this weekend can change that.

~Sarah's P.O.V. 7:06 A.M.~

     My eyes open, but the morning light blinds me. I close my eyes again. My eyes open more slowly this time, giving me a moment to adjust to the light. I pick up my phone from my bedside table and I see the time. I get out of bed, standing and stretching for a moment before walking over to my closet. I take out an oversized, orange t-shirt and some regular blue jeans.
     I grab my phone off of my bed and take a seat in my desk chair. I scroll through Instagram, just trying to pass the time. As I'm scrolling, I come across a picture of Ethan. I smile a little and my face heats up.
     'He's so cute. Ugh, stop it, Sarah. You can't be thinking like that," I think to myself.
     I quickly scroll past the photo, after liking it, of course, not wanting to think that way. As I continue to scroll I see multiple photos of Addi, Juliana, and Gabbi. I see a couple photos of Ashley as well. Most of the photos are them in crop tops or bikinis at the pool, just them trying to show off. Like, we get it. Just stop showing off already.
     I get frustrated with Instagram and stand up, heading over towards my bedroom door. I shove my phone in my pocket and open my door, shutting it behind me.
     I head into the kitchen, trying to be quiet since it's still early and I'd rather not wake everyone up. I begin to get out ingredients to make myself breakfast since I'm a little hungry.
     I get two eggs out of the fridge and a bowl out or the cabinet, as well as a whisk. After I've cracked the eggs into the bowl and mixed it up and everything, I pour it into a pan on the stove. After I finish making the eggs, I put them on a plate and sit down at the table.
     I scroll through Pinterest as I eat, looking for anything interesting. Nothing really grabs my attention, so I put my phone away and I finish eating. I wash my dirty dishes and head back to my room before I make any loud noises and unintentionally wake someone up.
     When I get back to my room, I decide to do some writing. I mean, I don't have anything better to do.
