"by saying something stupid like, I love you."
It's got that nostalgic, slow-burn, emotionally tender tone with the vibes of Euphoria, Love, Simon, or The Edge of Seventeen-and a touch of teenage chaos and yearning, set in 2015 (and 2010 aesthetic)-a time of flip phones, iPod Nanos, skinny jeans, Tumblr dashboards, and texting with T9. The romance now has a slightly more nostalgic, early-2010s teen drama vibe-think Skins, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, or Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Hope it gives off that !! lol
(VERY MUCH DRAMA CODED Y/N LOWKEY A HOE 😭😭 like drama left and right!!)
It's 2015. The year of grainy webcam selfies, burned CDs, and the same five songs looping on your iPod shuffle. Tumblr is therapy, texting costs money, and your biggest problem should be prom-but then there's Jean Kirstein.
He's the kind of guy who's easy to overlook-laid-back, half-asleep in homeroom, always sketching in the margins of his notebook like the world's moving too fast and he's choosing not to keep up. He doesn't say much in class unless he's muttering something sarcastic under his breath... usually about you.
But then he asks if you want to borrow his hoodie on a cold day.
Then he walks you home once-just once-but it feels like something shifts.
It's slow. It's quiet. It's passed notes under desks and long bus rides where neither of you talk, but the silence says everything. It's that aching, confusing place between friendship and something that could destroy it. You're both waiting for someone to be brave enough to say what's already written between the lines.
But it's senior year. Everything is ending.
And if you say it-really say it-there's no going back. And trust me...you don't wanna do anything your gonna regret.
