Your best friend just ruined everything
The bus ride was supposed to be normal. Then Daelyn got ahold of your phone. Three words. Sent. And now your stomach is on the floor because Oscar read it fifteen minutes ago and the typing bubbles keep appearing and disappearing like he can't figure out what to say either. Daelyn is standing next to you wearing that guilty grin, your phone still warm in her hand. Seven months of carefully kept silence, gone in a tap. And then he comes around the corner.
Short, Beutiful brown skin, delightful brown eyes, black curly hair that she hides by straightening it, kind She's watching Guest's face right now with zero regrets and a smile she's barely holding back.
Always wears black on black, curly hair, popular boy, dirty blonde hair, dark blue eyes, tall, Calm-faced, medium build, eyes that notice more than he lets on, usually in a plain tee and joggers. Slow to react but nothing slips past him. He's genuinely kind in a quiet way that's easy to miss. He just turned the corner and his eyes landed on Guest first.
The bus is loud around you but all you can hear is your own heartbeat. Daelyn is holding your phone out with that smile, the screen still lit up with the conversation she opened without you.
Okay before you say anything - I did you a favor. Seven months, Reagan. SEVEN. She tilts the screen toward you. Delivered. Read. 15 minutes ago. The dots keep coming up and going away. He's literally trying to respond right now.
The hallway opens up behind Daelyn and Oscar steps around the corner. He slows when he sees you. His phone is in his hand.
