The Afterparty

They talked for hours after that. Chase mostly teased Lilly about her crush by asking who he was. She told him that she didn't tell anyone her crush, not even her best friends. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get her to crack.

She looked at the clock, "Oh my gosh Chase it's 4 am."

"Oh," he looked disappointed for a second but quickly shook the expression away. "I should probably leave now."

"Yeah, my parents will probably be back in an hour." He picked up his phone without looking at it and put it in his pocket.

"Yeah, I'll see you at school tomorrow!"

"You too, bye!" He left the house and disappeared to wherever he went. She would never know

He went home and slept. Well, tried to anyway. He kept replaying the night in his mind over and over again. He decided to keep his phone on silent, with the night he was having he wanted to be careful and not let anyone ruin it. He just wanted to do it over again and again he hoped he could. He couldn't get her out of his mind. Soon enough, it was time to get ready for school.

She didn't want to watch him leave, she didn't want it to be over. She began to realize that he's just solely a great person. He's not like the other boys in the grade that she believes judge her with every step. He is kind and delicate and gentle. She began to notice his personality, not just his looks. Not just the way he stares at her in class. Not just the way the world lights up when their eyes meet. He's more than that. Way more. She hopes she can discover all of his personality. She can only hope. Soon, it was time to get ready for school.
