Monday 9:30pm

"He really is something. His eyes are so blue. He has a million dollar smile, I swear. His laugh is so cute." Brandon droned on. He was currently at my house. He had just dropped Daniel off.
"Mhm that's cool Bee." I say, only really half listening.
"I can't believe I'm actually dating him." He says, "I mean I've been crushing on him since freshmen year."
"I know man. I'm happy for you." I say.
"Now we need to get you a boyfriend." He says.
"N-no I'm fine." I say stuttering.
"Come on, who do you like?" He says pushing me.
"No one, now go to sleep!" I say.
"Its only nine!" He replies.
"I don't care, you're annoying." I tell him.
"Okay Im sorry." He says.
"Its fine. I just I don't know. I feel like if I were to tell you who I liked it'd make it concrete and It would mean I'm admitting to liking him. I can't do that because I'll only end up hurt in the end." I explain.
"Zay that's completely understandable. I'm sorry for pushing you. Just know I'm always here for you." He says hugging me.
"Thanks." I reply." Now go shower you stink."
"Ouch, I'm hurt." He says.
"I'm letting you stay here while your mom is out of town, so don't make me regret it." I say.
"Ugh fine. I'm going." He says, getting up and grabbing his things.
When he leaves my room I get on my phone and just watch TikToks. Soon I get a notification.

Yo Zach guess what
happened today

Zay🤗
Besides Dani and Bee
getting together?

Corbs🌠
Yeah beside that

Zay🤗
Um Idk what

Corbs🌠
So you know how I
eat lunch in
Mrs Smith's class

Zay🤗
Yeah why

Corbs🌠
So today I left
to go to the
restroom and in
there was Jonah,
Ya know the one
Eddie has in his
phone as Jojo,
anyway he seemed
upset he was
mumbling things
under his breathe
and then he
punched the mirror.
So I was obviously
concerned. And
even though I
haven't actually
spoke to him
since freshman
year because
well you know.
I asked him if he
was okay and
then said I was
taking to the nurse.
And when we got
there mom was
being herself,
you know over
bearing, offering
me more money and
such. Jonah didn't
know she was my
mom apparently
guess we didn't
really get that
close freshman
year. But anyway
once mom was done
fixing him up we
walked to his
class and then he
asked for my number
so we could stay
in contact and I
was just like sure.
So now I have his
number and idk what
to do.

Zay🤗
Oh wow, that's a lot

Zay🤗
Do you still feel that
way about him?

Corbs🌠
Maybe? Idk anymore

Corbs🌠
Seeing him again was
just strange for me.
He's changed so much.

Zay🤗
Maybe give him a
chance. At least at
friendship. Okay?

Corbs🌠
Yeah you're right

Corbs🌠
Thanks Zach ily

Zay🤗
