snow crossed lovers

the two squads bump into each other during movie night

cherry was still shocked about bumping into codfish and his friends at the movies.

why did they have to come NOW? cherry thought the herself.

"oooh!" zucchini teased, and bumped cherry's shoulder while pointing to codfish.

"we should try and get cherry and codfish to sit right next to each other!" apple (raniyah) whispered to zucchini, giggling.

"oh yeahhh!" zucchini said back.

apple was about to sit right next to codfish, but she tapped on zucchini as a signal to get cherry to sit in apple's spot instead.

"cherry, wanna sit here?" zucchini asked cherry, grinning a little bit. 

"sureo," cherry nodded, completely and utterly clueless.

its so dark in here, cherry thought to herself. i hope I'm not sitting next to anyone obnoxious, whoever that is.

the lights brightened up, which gave cherry a chance to see who was next to her.

she could not believe her eyes.

CODFISH?

cherry's pov - 

okay, i know its not THAT much of a big deal that I'm sitting right next to codfish at the movies right now. its just -  i don't want him to suspect anything.

i think I've fallen for him.

i know what you're thinking -

"you don't say."

"what about kate/raspberry?"

etc. 

and if that is indeed what you're thinking, then i understand. yes I've fallen for him but I'm not making any move for a while now. and yes, I've had feelings for him for a long time. but I'm still gonna be generous to Kate because i know she is hurting right now. but i have fallen for him... although I've had this crush for years now, i think this is the point where I've actually fallen in love.

hes a devil angel... MY devil angel. he's so perfectly imperfect. he's a jerk, but as i said before, he's not just a jerk for the hell of it. he's not like those other jerks... I'm not sure if its my psychic abilities, or just the connection we have, but i just KNOW that there is some type of backstory behind all this jerkiness. and if i was with him, he'd take care of me perfectly. something about him just makes me feel... safe. its just so perfect; everything about the relationship we have, the way we make each other laugh but also blush... its everything i could ever ask for, but i know the right thing would be to just take it slow for now.

for many reasons.

anyway, the lights dimmed again, and everything soon became pitch black, besides the big screen. i think codfish might have noticed how i was looking at him differently again. if only he knew what was going on in my mind. the commercials on the big screen began to play, and our hands were on the same armrest. every time i picked up my drink, which was codfish's left side, he moved his arm a bit to make room, but not that much... sometimes he even pulled it closer.

does he feel the same way about me?

i can't explain this connection we have. its too powerful to put in words. i think id do anything for this codfish jerk. but will he do the same for me?... i hope so.

i needed some alone time with him. so, i can't believe i did this, but i did... i whispered to him,

"plans soon?"

i kind of made it seem like a friendly thing lol, as you can see. not like, 

wanna go out?

or something like that. once again, we were supposed to be taking things slow here. i took a deep breath.

"sure," he responded. he ACTUALLY said yes!

we then continued to whisper about how the plans would go, and decided we would text each other later more about it.

the rest of the movie was nice. it was a good movie, and sometimes in the super duper romantic parts, we looked at each other. it was awkward but kind of nice. at one point, i rested my head to my right side which was where codfish was, and he kind of scooted closer. what the hecc?

maybe I'm kinda thankful that apple and zucchini tricked me into sitting next to him.

i might've been blushing the rest of the night. what i thought would be a disaster... ended up great. theres no denying that.

I've fallen for codfish.

once the movie ended and the lights transitioned back on, i saw raspberry from the corner of my eye. she looked a bit bummed, so i fully faced towards her, and i saw that her eyes looked at me, then to codfish, then to me, then to codfish.

oh no.

poor raspberry... see, this is one of the reasons i need to take things slow with codfish. I'm not letting codfish get inbetween raspberry and i in any way.

this just kinda sucks. i feel like it might be one or the other... the boy of my dreams, or my best friend. i don't want it to be like that. if i get the boy of my dreams, then i could lose my best friend. first of all... our friendship is too valuable for that. second of all, i don't want to start any drama. but if i keep the friendship and forget about codfish...

ugh. as i said, i need this boy. i need this devil angel, and i think he needs me. in my dream world, id have all my friends, AND codfish. but unfortunately this is not my dream world.

what am i gonna do?
