Chapter 18

(This chapters going back to be told from readers pov)

|As I sat in my first period class, it felt so dreadful. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I sighed and put my head down. But thankfully putting my head down seemed to make time go by a lot faster, and before I knew it. It was lunch. As I walked to my locker to put my backpack away and grab my lunch. As I did, I noticed Sal going into the bathroom, but it seemed as if he had a note in his hand. It could've just been a pice of random paper though. I shrugged it off as overthinking and just walked to lunch. Sal joined us not too long after with Travis following him. But I noticed something changed between them, Travis seemed less... aggressive. I took it as something good and started to eat my sandwich.

"Hey Y/n, how's your classes been so far?" He questioned.

I looked at him then back down at my food.

"Meh.. tiring. I wanna go home. Though..." I said to him.

Sal chuckled and nudged my shoulder slightly.

"Tell me about it. I'm already tired and it's only the second day."

I looked at him then chuckled back at him. Then I looked back up at him and met his eyes with mine. His baby blue eyes were sure pretty, even through the mask he always wears. It felt like time slowed down when we both looked into each other. I felt my chest flutter and I looked down with a small smile on my face.

What was that..? I thought to myself. The more I thought about it the more I could feel the butterflies grow in my chest. I felt my face become warm and I couldn't help but keep that stupid grin on my face. Then I felt someone stare at me. I looked over to my other side and notice Larry stare at me and Sal. I saw his smile grow and I felt myself become happy and warm to embarrassed.

"Larry!" I mouthed to him.

He put his fingers up to his lips and hushed me.

"I'll keep it a secret." He whispered to me.

I put my hands over my face and slumped in my seat.

-school time skip-

As school ended, we all walked home. But it was a little different, Sal didn't hang out with us like he normally does after school.

"You don't want to hang out Sal?" I questioned.

"I'm kinda tired, and plus.. I need to think about something that I'm kinda confused about right now.."

"Oh! That's fine no worries." I said with a smile.

I saw his eyes shift up slightly showing that he was smiling back at me.

"I'll call you through the walkie talkie if I need anything." He said to me.

I nodded then he went to his apartment. I went to my room and plopped face first on my bed as Larry sat in his bean bag and went on his flip phone.

"Y/n... you wanna tell me something?" He questioned.

I perked up my head and grabbed my plush and started to hold it to me.

"I think you're right..."

Larry raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. He put his flip phone down and sat up a little straighter.

"About??"

I groaned and covered my head with the pillow on my bed.

"I think you're right about me having a small crush on Sal.."

As soon as I admitted that I felt my stomach turn and twist in tingles.

"I don't know what to do! How am I supposed to know what to do in this situation? I'm not good with this kind of stuff.." I said with the pillow still covering my face.

I took it off and stared at the wall while I took a deep breath.

"This shits confusing man.. I don't even know how I started having these feelings got him. They were just so... sudden.."

I sit up and put my hands against my eyes.

"Yeah it's confusing Y/n.. but I guess I've always known you had a little crush on him." He said as he chuckled at the end.

"What if he dosent like me? He wouldn't like a person like me! Him and Ash are always.. talking to each other you know..? He seems like he's happier around her-"

"I'm gonna stop you right there Y/n." He said as he got up to grab his water bottle from his backpack.

I looked up at him and felt my eyebrows furrow.

"Think about it. Do you ever really see the way he looks at you versus how he looks at Ash?"

I sit up a little straighter trying to think about it.

"Well.. I guess he gives me softer eyes, from what I notice. And when he talks to Ash he kinda just seems.. not as soft? If that makes any sense.."

Larry nodded and sat back down in his bean bag.

"Go on.." He said taking a sip of his water.

"From what I noticed hes more open to me and to her he's a little more clos..."

Before i could finish my sentence I felt my chest pump slightly, but in a releifing way.

"Larry! You're so right! How did I completely go over that!" I said to him feeling a little excited.

He chuckled and raised his arms slightly shrugging them.

"What'd I tell ya dude."

I felt a small smile creep up upon my lips as he said that. I started to play with my fingers slightly and feel my heart slightly beat faster.

"What if he does like me back..?"

Larry sighed and went over to his drawer grabbing his little secret stash.

"Well dude, that's completely up to you.. You're the one thinking about it to much. He might? He might not. But it's up to you to tell him.."

I stood up from my bed and grabbed my walkie talkie.

"But I'm gonna go smoke, this therapy session is making me tired." He said as he smiled.

I chuckled and opened the door outside.

"Okay Larry, have fun hot boxing our room." I said before leaving.

As I walked towards the tree house, I couldn't help but think about what Larry told me. I climbed in the tree house and sat in the spot I'd usually sit in. I set down my walkie talkie next to me and stared outside the window, with the only source of light being the apartment windows seeping light through them. Then, static started to come through the walkie talkie.

"Y/n, you there..?" Sal said

I picked up my walkie talkie and pressed the button to answer him.

"Yeah, what's up Sally Face?"

I could hear him shuffling around for something, then I heard his door close.

"I need to talk to you about something important.. like really important.. but it has to be somewhere private.

I felt nervousness flutter in my chest as he said that.

"I'm in my tree house right now, so we can talk about it here if you'd like." I said as I started to play with the ends of my shirt.

"Yeah that's fine, wait for me there.. okay?"

I smiled to myself.

"I'll be here."
