The ride home was as lively as our town's graveyard. I was glued to the door the entire time, ready to jump out the minute we got to my house or just in case he decided to bring up what Dream Hero had had no problem discussing. I clutched the door handle like it was a lifeline and prayed it wouldn't result in me jumping out of a moving car.
          
          Hero didn't seem to notice. 
          
          It was clear that his mind was somewhere else. He didn't try to talk to me like he had done back in class which was good because all that I could think about was the fact that he had friendzoned me and that he had gotten Melissa's name wrong.
          
          I wanted to correct him so bad that I just—
          
          "It's Melissa." I blurted out the minute I got out of the car. "The girl Donovan's with, her name is Melissa. Not Melinda."
          
          "Okay? Potato Tomato." was his response. He looked at my hand that was still clutching the car door before looking back at me. "Can I go now?"
          
          "It's actually," I chuckled nervously, letting go of the door. "It's, um, tomato—Potato Potato and Tomato Tomato but I get your confusion—"
          
          "Harley."
          
          "Hm?"
          
          "Close the door." He muttered and I scrambled to do just that before rushing to get inside so that I could scream into my pillow at how ridiculous I had just been."Harley." He called out once more and I screeched to a halt like an unoiled robot, waiting for him to speak.
          
          "Check your messages once in a while." He mumbled. "Otherwise exchanging numbers would be pointless, wouldn't it?"

@Rose42897, I couldn't agree more, Rose, and, lmao!! Casablanca, eh? Niceeee!! I've only seen it once, though, a long time ago. Thank you for your kind words regarding the mean and cruel comments, it means a lot to me. It did make me depressed for a bit, but responding classy was always going to be the way I handled things. I'm just stating facts from what I see.  <3

@cbakaloff, “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Lol. Sorry I couldn’t help myself. But yes. I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you too.
            As for those rude comments, I commend you for staying classy. It just shows that you’re a great person.
            Thank you for thinking I’m an amazing person. And so are you.

@Rose42897, You are the first person I have met and am lucky enough to get to know from Louisiana, so that's awesome!! As for me, I am from Florida. Yes, I have many cruel comments, and my books mean so much to me. I put so much of myself in each one. Some comments have been vulgar and sexual, and the rest were rude and mean. 
             
            AWWWWW!!! I am so glad you loved Mia!! Oh, really?! That's awesome. You and I are similar. I, too, am more like Mia, but... I don't have a Bri. 
             
            I can't imagine how terrible it's been without the internet. I am sending you all my positivity, and I hope that they come and fix it soon!! 
             
            My evening is decent; I just basically worked all day. You are so welcome. You honestly seem like an amazing person, and I would love the opportunity to continue to know each other. I see a beautiful friendship in the works!! Thank you for responding.  =)
