Noah stared at the phone, almost all day, sitting on his bed, writing, even while he ate, just wondering what to say and if he should! Millions of thoughts began to race through his mind as he decided to send Tye a message. He rewrote it about a hundred times before finally settling on something. ''Hello Tye, it's Noah. I really think we gotta talk about last night. What happened has been weighing on my mind for far too long, and it's truly eating me up. You know how I felt about you, and even though you were drunk, as was I, I still felt like it meant something haha. If I'm overreacting and it meant nothing, I'm sorry, and I can leave you alone and you can go back to picking on me with your perfect friends, but I couldn't just let it all go without a second thought." He hesitated before clicking send, a big gulp escaping his throat as he did so. He really hoped that this went well, or that he at least got answers. He wanted that night to happen again, he wanted it to be a regular, even without alcohol.
Noah placed his phone down and walked out to the living room, to see his friends all playing with a game console. Noah wasn't a big fan of games, but he knew the others enjoyed it, so he was glad to see their smiling faces. He plopped down in the middle of the couch and watched them play. He looked rather content. After a long while of silence, Meghan spoke up. "So... how did it go?" She asked simply as Noah smiled. "I sent him a message and now I wait." He responded. "I think we should go out to eat tonight! Dress up all nice and go to a fast food joint like we used to?!" Noah asked, trying to change the subject, as he could feel the awkward tension. The others simply nodded and smiled. "Of course! We can pick out some fancy clothes from the closet upstairs."
Francesca added.
The group decided to head upstairs to pick up their outfits and to get ready for later. This wasn't something they did too often, but when they went to the lake and got bored, this was their go to. To see everyone staring at them, finding it silly and such, that was a really cool experience that they'd had for years. Francesca picked out a long and tight red dress, which made Meghan rather pink. Jamie and Ryleigh picked out matching outfits, Jamie in a suit with a pink button down, and Ryleigh in a pink dress. Noah grabbed a funky patterned suit, with flowers on it. Meghan looked rather confused, or upset. She'd been feeling really off lately, but didn't really bring it up to anyone. She didn't know what to wear, and felt as if she was in the wrong body. Francesca seemed to notice, and immediately wrapped her arms around Meghan and asked what was going on. "No, no it's nothing. I just uh,, can I wear a suit?" She asked quietly. "Oh of course doll! Wear anything your pretty heart wants!" She said, leading Meghan over to the suits. She eventually picked out a navy blue one with a fun tie, as everyone began to head to their separate bedrooms to change and do their hair/makeup.
They all walked out one at a time doing a silly sort of fashion show as they strutted down the hallway, each bursting into laughter as they saw the others. Once everyone was out they snapped a photo, which then turned into a full blown photo shoot, different poses, lighting, and areas. This lasted for about an hour too long, but it wasn't like they had much more to do. It was only about four and they didn't wanna leave too early, as none of them were particularly hungry. "Maybe after fancy dinner, we could go see what movies are playing?" Jamie asked once the photo shoot was over. "Yeah! I heard they had a few new movies playing, we should totally go!" Meghan said, brushing her hair back and out of her face. "What movies do you guys wanna see? And should I order the tickets now or once we get there?" Francesca asked, pulling up the movie theaters website. It was still decked out with Halloween things, and most of the movies showing were horror.
"Definitely now so that we can get seats next to each other, and maybe we can just go see the three new ones?" Noah asked, cheerful as always. After the sound of clicking nails against a phone screen stopped, Francesca smiled and spoke. "Done! After dinner we can pick up snacks at a gas station, and head to the theatre. I ordered the tickets for them to go right after another, and we're seated right in the middle." "This is going to be an awesome night!" Noah spoke as he looked down at his phone, Tye had followed him back, and was typing a message. This made his stomach turn into knots as he showed Meghan, who rubbed his back and told him in a comforting tone that it would be okay. "Maybe it's best to leave your phone here for the night? That could help this all get off your mind." She spoke softly as the group looked at what was going on. "Yeah.. yeah I guess that works.." he walked cautiously to his room and set his phone down on the bed, watching as the little typing symbol stayed on the screen. He looked at himself in the mirror and straightened his jacket before walking back out to his friends who were just about ready to go. "So, what type of food are we going to get?" Meghan asked, turning to look at Francesca. "Hmm.. maybe just burgers? Yumburger has pretty good food, maybe we can go there?" She replied. "I love that place! Yes yes yessss!" Ryleigh began to run out to the van in excitement as the others laughed and followed. It was like almost everyone in their town knew them because of that van. They'd been using it ever since Francesca got her drivers license, as she was first.
