pey that you might be
catching feelings?
tate

riley

ask him out on a date.
just to get to know him
more.

tate
no.
actually, maybe.
what would we
even do?

riley 
you guys should
totally go to bella's!!

tate
bro we are not
going on some
romantic ass dinner
date.

riley
okay but hear me
out. you get to see
him in a suit. you
get a chance to really
know each other.
you get to dress up all
fancy, which i know you
love. and plus bella's
is like your favorite
restaurant.

tate
okay true. but
bella's is like really
fucking expensive.

riley
can't you guys
split the check? i
know you aren't broke
you got a job last semester.
and ben is literally tiktok
famous.

tate
okay. but what
if he says no. that's
so embarrassing  

riley

tate

interested???

riley

"come in." he said softly as i knocked on the door.

"hi. can i sit here?" i gestured to his bed. "yeah of course." he replied. i was feeling nervous. what if he says no?

stop being a fucking pussy and do it. now or never. "sooo, uh do you wanna go to this restaurant 'bellas's' tomorrow night?"

he looked surprised.

"wait really? you're asking me?" he asked. "yes." i replied. "well yeah sure. it'd be nice to get to know each other more.. and stuff you know." he said.

"okay cool. so i'm gonna head to bed. sooo goodnight." i said awkwardly. fuck my life."goodnight tate." he smiled at me.

i quickly walked to my room to text riley and peyton what happened. i can't believe he said yes.

tomorrow is going to be extremely awkward.
