you looked at the boy with curly hair who was obviously uncomfortable and knows that you are staring intently at him. he bit his lip, slightly nervously tapping his thumb on the steering wheel. you turned back to your phone and texted your sister.

y/n
REALLY? NAI!!!

y/n
HES NOT EVEN MY TYPE

naila
YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE HIM

y/n
nai..... I love u but.

y/n
I CANT BELIEVE YOU.

you sinked your body into the passenger seat, hearing the giggling of your sister and her apparent boyfriend in the back. you looked to the left again, seeing the curled haired boy look at the rear view mirror and he seemed seemingly sad.

you started having a lot of thoughts. could he like naila? or is he in a gay relationship with erik? or! he is attracted to them both and he can't really express it. or he's just a really sad person.

you weren't that attracted to him to be completely honest. he looked like one of your friends who would be too nice. you've always had a thing for toxic men *hearteyes*.

the car ride was pretty quiet. there was some questions that you and him would exchange and talk about. It was really awkward.

awkwardly trying to get rid of the painful silence, joshua asked, "so, y/n.. how old are you?"

"i'm 18, what about you?" you responded. "I'm also eighteen."

"coolio," you awkwardly exchanged.

6:00 PM, 0 MINS TILL THE DATE
it was obvious that it wasn't the first time erik and naila met. in fact, they were really close that even it made y/n uncomfortable. for the whole time it's like she was with joshua anyways.

you noticed once again that your so called date had been looking at your beautiful sister for the past hour. he held the glass container of parmesan in his hand. all you can ever think of is if you can take that and put some on your food.

"hey, uhm, joshua?" you desperate asked. he turned to you and asked, "yeah?"

"uh—do you wanted to like—uh? give me the parmesan?" you said with a nervous face and he jumped a little and said, "oh shit—yeah damn sorry I was just," giving you the parmesan in his hand, pursing his lips.

"thinking?" you finished his thoughts. his eyes widened and he laughed. "yeah, I just-yeah." You nodded sprinkling the parmesan. you sighed and looked at the couple in front of you. you can tell how much they liked each other, so instead of minding your own business, you grabbed joshua's hand.
