Oli woke up in the middle of the night with an extremely sore throat. He looked around the room and realised he was at Elissa's house and it was still dark outside. He reached for his phone that was on the bedside table and switched it on, sighing when he saw the screen read "0:12"am.

He sighed and got out of the bed, throwing on an oversized hoodie and walking down the stairs and into the kitchen. He carefully poured himself a cup of water and stood staring at the wall whilst he drank it.

The cold liquid instantly soothed his sore throat and just like that he felt better again. He dumped the empty cup into the sink before turning around to go back upstairs. He jumped about a mile into the air when his chest collided with someone else's. Before he could scream, a hand covered his mouth.

"Shush, it's just me. I didn't mean to scare you." A husky voice said. Oli's whole body relaxed when he realised it was just Josh. He reached up to Josh's hand and softly pulled it away from his mouth.

"Jesus Christ Josh, what are you doing down here?" Oli asked.

"I was just getting a drink, same as you." Josh shrugged casually, although Oli didn't believe him for a second.

"Stalking me, more like." Oli huffed. A smile crept its way onto Josh's face and he laughed quietly.

"Whatever. Wanna come back to my room with me? You might as well, wouldn't want you accidentally waking up Elissa would we?" He said confidently. Oli rolled his eyes at the arrogance and slid past Josh.

"No thanks." He said quickly before heading up the stairs and back into Elissa room before Josh could respond. He climbed back into bed with a sigh. He didn't really understand why Josh was being so persistent with him. From what he had heard, Josh was quite the fuckboy, so why hadn't he given up and moved onto someone else already?

Oli's mind ran in circles as he overthought everything. Eventually his brain ran out of energy and he passed out, sending him back into a long sleep.

————————

Monday morning came around and Oli was less than happy to be back at school. He had had hardly any sleep last night so he was pretty grouchy. Honestly all he wanted to do right now was teleport home and go straight back to bed.

He lazily opened up his locker and smiled slightly when he saw there was yet another letter there. At least today was good for something.

He looked around him before ripping open the letter. Inside was a few pink, strawberry lollipops tied together with a pink bow. Oli smiled at how cute they looked.

He took out the actually letter and read it, his heart swelling up instantly at the familiar scruffy handwriting along with the familiar scent that came off the page.

Thought you would like these. They are almost as sweet as you ;)

Also you smell like strawberries, did you know that? I guess you do now.

Recently strawberry has become my favourite smell.

Every time I think of lollipops I think of you, I mean you're name is kind of in the word I guess. God this all sounds way too cheesy.

From, someone who wishes you were theirs xox.

Oli put the letter into his backpack before unwrapping one of the lollipops and sticking it into his mouth, making his way to class. Maybe today would be a good say after all.
