I sat on my bed, looking at my phone. He had texted me that day. He didn’t ask me to go to a party, so maybe he didn’t have one to go to. Colin and Ezra had plans, so they wouldn’t be harassing me. I kept looking down at it. Fuck it.

Me

I sent it and my heart raced. I did it. Well, sort of.

Noah Rossi

I bit my lip.

Me

Noah Rossi

I stared at it. I had no idea.

Noah Rossi

I smiled down at the phone. At least I could make him laugh.
