"Hey!" I smile sitting down next to Courtney.
"Morning, how'd the cast dinner go?"
"It was fine. I feel really bad about not going over Ricky's though, have you seen him at all today?"
"Don't you usually get rides with him?" She asked.
"Yeah but this morning Ethan picked me up."
"Girl, what the hell is going on with you two? I saw the comment on your insta. Boys catching some feels."
"I don't know," she gave me a look calling my bullshit. I let out a small groan, "Court I'm serious. I don't know what's going on with Ricky and I haven't been able to stop thinking about him since he actually spoke to me yesterday for the first time since his birthday. I realized how much I missed him. I want to see where it goes."
"Nini, I meant Ethan." She stuffed a laugh.
"Oh, uhm. Yeah right! Ethan!" I felt the laugh bubble up and turn into an awkward cough. "He's just a friend from theater. We're both the leads, we need to have some chemistry on stage so we've been hanging out to get to know each other. He's really cool!"
"Now that we're past that. How do you think Ricky feels about that?"
"Why would Ricky have any feelings on that?" I ask.
"Quit being stubborn. The boy likes you!" She groans.
"No he doesn't. We've always been just friends, that's why he freaked when we ended up cuddling!"
"Is that really what you think?" She questions.
"I-I-don't know what to think anymore," I admit.
"Maybe talk to him?" She suggests.
"About what? Just go up and say hey Ricky I used to have a crush on you and now I'm trying to decide if I still do. Can you let me know how you feel about me so I can decide!"
Courtney eyes go wide at something behind me and I turn my head in the direction to be met with Ricky's soft eyes.
"I-uh, hi Ricky!"
"Is it true?" He asks.
Every bone in my body seemed to have turned into jello. My thoughts stirred trying to form words.
"I'll let you two be," Courtney said awkwardly moving herself out of the room.
"Ricky I-"
