Sometimes I wish I had never met you, because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.

(still Nathan's pov)
I shouldn't be feeling like this. No. This isn't right.
I really hope it's just a puppy crush because if not I'll be so fucked.
I walk out of the subway and see Verity standing right in front of me. I look at her with a weird expression because she's looking at me and I am confused. "Let's go home!" she squeals. What?! She's here to walk me home?! okay... "Woahhh....are you here to walk me home?" I ask. "Kind of...well, if you wanna walk alone its totally your choice. I'm just trying to be nice and make a friend for the first time.." She says as she walks and I follow. "Oh...well, let's go in that case!" I say and pass a beautiful smile. She smiles back and we walk home , silently.
That is how it is with Verity. We might be friends (idk honestly) but we hardly talk. It's just a silent company but I enjoy this. It might look awkward but its not.
We reach home in a bit and I ask her if she wants to exchange phone numbers or something. Why am I so awkward?!
She nods and both of us pull out our phones and exchange numbers. And, yeah, that's it. She walked in her own room, I went to mine and well....that's all.
It's Verity afterall, what else can you expect. A goodnight kiss? hell naww.
Verity's POV:
FUCK.
I walk in my room, close the door behind me and exhale . How long have I been holding my breath? ugh...I can't believe this just happened. Did we really exchange numbers? wow..that's cute. Anyway, I should probably be sleeping, I don't wanna miss another day at work. Also, the school starts soon, don't wanna miss that either.
I don't really think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Maybe never again, because we just exchanged numbers afterall.
Unknown : hey, its Nathan.

Unknown : IDK how to say this, you might even kill me after this, idk. Imma just say it. I like you, Verity.
