"WHEN IS Walker gonna call you? I don't wanna interrupt any plans with him." Kate asks, and I get worried at the mention of Walker.

"Why? Did he say something? Did I do something wrong?" I question, and she furrows her eyebrows.

"...No? I just know he usually calls you everyday... did something happen?" Kate seems confused, but I shake my head.

It'll probably be better if I don't mention Alex... or that Walker probably got upset with me yesterday.

"We're fine. I just..." I shake my head again. "It's nothing."

She seems suspicious of me, but she doesn't say anything. We decide to watch some random movie, which Kate picks, and I don't see what it is.

When I see a young Walker appear on the screen, I send her a look. She chose secret headquarters.

"Haha. Super funny, Kate. We're not watching this." I say seriously.

"No no, just because your little boyfriend is the main character doesn't mean it's not a good movie! I wanna watch it." Kate defends, and I sigh.

We— moreso Kate, watches about 30 minutes of the movie before I get the expected FaceTime call from Walker, telling Kate I'll be back in a few minutes.

"Sunshine, hey!" He smiles, and I smile back immediately. "How's your day been?"

"Fine," I shrug, suddenly getting an intense wave of guilt over me for texting Alex back yesterday, even though Walker and I are just friends.

"You good?" He asks, and I nod.

"Yeah, just... thinking." I mutter, and he nods.

"Alright. Wanna share your thoughts, or?" He raises and eyebrow, and I think for a second before nodding.

"Uhm... my ex," I start.

"Yeah?" He seems confused.

"My ex, Alex, texted me asking to talk about things yesterday." I say softly, and his eyebrows raise before he blinks a few times.

"Oh." He whispers. "Uhm..."

"I'm sorry, Walkie. I didn't—"
