Sam
Jessica and Christian have been texting nonstop ever since the party. And the only love action I got was a disgusting letter from Charley.
Why would he even send me that? I thought he was decent enough to write a better letter, but that one? Jeez.
I read fictional books all the time and the love interests are the best.
Decent personality, Great looks, unlike the guys in the non-fictional world.
Christian fit the mold perfectly but my sister likes him, and I've never come across my sister's crushes. "What's hers is hers" but I can't seem to give it to her
I played my favorite vinyl and I laid on my bed.
Love listening to music by myself. Helps me visualize a lot of things.
I heard a knock on my door.
-"it's Jessica!" She said and I let her in.
-"I love the Aesthetics but what's wrong?" She sat down on my bed.
-"Nothing," I said and she looked at me
-"nothing? Sam, you're my twin I know when something's wrong"
Damn, she's good
I can't let her know that I'm crushing on her crush. She'll not like that!
I decided to use my other problem.
-"Charley tried to send me a note as my secret admirer and it was really bad and by Bad, I mean disgusting"
-"that much, what did he write?"
She asked curiously.
-"pretty much how he wanted to bang me and get straight to the chase"
She shook her head
-"that doesn't sound like him"
-"I know, Jessica"
-"you should try talking to him"
-"what if he does something weird?"
-"he looked pretty nice to me at the party. Just try," she said and left.
Thinking about it, she's got a point. I have to talk to Charley even if I don't want to.
There's no way he will say that to my, I can't imagine it, at all.
I facepalmed then I searched him online to get his number.
I found it.
I dialed his number and I called him.
Charley
I stared at the note I was supposed to give Sam. Ugh why did I trust Lillie with this. I know she's one of my closest friends but she ruined everything. We haven't spoken since that day.
This whole day has been boring. I posted like six photos of myself and I'm still not happy. Aesthetics are my thing.
Imagine if Sam comes into my room saying...
-"hi, Charley. Your mom let me in"
And then we start having the best conversation.
I sigh. this is not going to work out.
My phone started ringing and it was an unknown number.
I picked up.
-"Hello?"
-"Charley it's me, Sam"
I almost choked on my intestines. I was just thinking about Sam.
-"Why are you calling me?" I said
-"excuse me?" He sounded confused
-"that sounded bad. I thought you didn't want to talk to me"
Good one Charley!
-"just so you know, it was Jessica's idea for me to call you"
So he didn't call me on his own?
Ouch.
-"honesty, I like that. Anyways what did you want to talk about?"
I said and the call got silent.
-"you writing that note is hard to believe. I want to talk. Meet me for coffee"
Did he just?
-"sure... um yeah"
-"I'll text you the details"
He said and hang up.
I stood up quicker than lightning and I jumped to my bed happily.
Sam invited me for coffee and he wants to talk. No way!
I got dressed as soon as possible. I wore a flannel jacket and some jeans. Wonder if he likes those.
I left in a hurry and I arrived early, Sam wasn't even there.
I saw a car pull up to the coffee shop and Sam came out.
Charley relax, relax.
Sam
I exited my driver's car and I saw him sitting by the window, he also came early... sweet.
I entered the shop and he smiled at me.
-"Sam," he said happily and I smiled at him awkwardly.
-"how long have you been here waiting for me?" I asked and he looked at his clock.
-"just a few minutes"
-"Stay here I'll buy us something"
-"no need," he said and someone came with a tray of two coffee's and cookies"
-"My treat," he said and I smiled.
That was so sweet of him. I sit down and I grab a mug.
-"do you really want to do what you wrote in that letter?"
He shook his head.
-"then why did you write it?" I asked and he grabbed something in his bag.
He placed a paper on the table.
-"This is the one that I was supposed to give you. Lillie decided to write another one and make you hate me because your Jessica's brother"
-"wait till I tell her" I chuckled and he gave me the note. I opened it and read it.
It has been weird ever since I met you. My passion for things grew, my happiness was expanded. You see it a whole different way and I understand. I would like to get to know you better.
Secret Admirer
That was cute. He's the first person to ever write me a note like that.
-"to be honest I would've known it was you who wrote it," I said and he gasped softly.
-"what do you mean?" He asked so invested.
-"you're one of the few people I've met in school. It's obvious that you like me"
I added and he got a little red.
-"I'm not good at keeping my cool when I like someone as pretty as you," he said and I laughed softly.
Is he serious right now? I'm over the letter thing but he really likes me.
-"I don't know what to say," I said.
And he shook his head.
-"no need, If you don't feel the same I'll try even harder. What can I do?"
He offered and I was just lost at this point.
-"um, just be yourself"
Be yourself? did I say something that stupid? Oh god.
-"I'm good at that," he said.
How do I bring it to him that I don't like him? He's so nice to me.
I need to think about this by myself.
-"thank you for everything, but I should catch up on homework"
He nodded and stood up to say goodbye to me.
-"hey it's kinda late, do you have a ride home? I can give you one" I asked.
-"I would love that, thank you so much"
Charley and I left the coffee shop and got in my driver's car.
Charley
I was kinda nervous being in the car with Sam's trusted driver. Sam was generous to offer me a ride home.
-"it's nice to meet one of Sam's new friends" the driver started talking.
I didn't know what to say I just smiled like an idiot.
-"Hey, can you put music, my playlist," Sam said and the drive played his playlist.
The first song that started was one from my favorite band.
-"Hey, that's New Emotion"
I said and Sam turned looked at me quickly.
-"you like The Spades?" He said excitedly.
-"Yeah, they're my favorite band"
-"They're so underrated, where have you been all my life? Everyone ignores me when I talk about them" Sam explained
-"they have an album coming out in a few months, we could hear it" I offered and he nodded.
-"my first time reacting to an album with someone, I would love to"
They took me to my house and I said goodbye to Sam.
I entered my house and Mom was there.
-"How was it?" She asked and I rested on the door.
-"amazing, I gave him the real letter and I just asked him out!"
-"that's my boy!" Mom said happily and I was just thinking about the amazing evening I had with Sam.
Sam
It's a school day. I got ready with Jessica. She has been texting Christian Non-stop. She would laugh every time he sent her something funny and it just made me uncomfortable, to be honest.
-"Jessica we're gonna be late. You'll see him at school" I said and she put her phone away.
-"you're right, let's go"
We arrived at school and Charley was there waiting for me.
-"ooh, look, he's waiting for you"
She tapped my shoulder fast.
I didn't expect him to wait for me.
-"Hi Sam!" He said and I said hello to him.
-"Can I walk you to class?" He asked and I nodded.
I honestly wanted some space before entering class.
He accompanied me to my classroom and left as soon as I entered. I sat in my same seat and I sighed.
-"what's wrong, prince?" Jodi asked.
-"Just stuff"
I did not feel in the mood to talk about Charley. That has been the only topic I've heard around me. "Charley this, Charley that" I appreciate him being a decent guy to me but how am I supposed to act around a guy I don't have feelings too?
-"Must be that boy that accompanied Sam to class, you should've seen his face" Jodi said to Christian.
-"I heard that," I said.
-"I know, just wanted to get your attention" They're good.
-"so you like him?" Christian asked and I shook my head.
-"ooh, have you told him?" Jodi asked in a calming tone.
-" I can't he's so nice to me, and he has hope for us to be together"
-"There's a thing called Rejection" Christian added.
What was I doing explaining my situation to the guy I like and his best friend?
-"I have to let him down easily, I still want to be friends with him"
-"that's good just tell him when you can"
Christian said and the teacher entered the classroom.
Christian started talking quietly to Jodi like they always do. And something about that hit different, the way he laughed silently, how he talked.
God, I'm crushing so hard.
Classes ended for the day and I tried to avoid Charley as much as I could.
But you know, life isn't easy, Charley was waiting for me around the corner.
-"where have you been Sam?, I didn't see you the whole day"
-"been busy," I said with an awkward laugh.
-"what's wrong?" He asked worriedly
We stopped walking and stood someplace more calmer.
-"it's just... I think you're moving too fast. We've known each other for weeks, can we be friends first?
He looked upset.
-"what did I do wrong?" He asked in an upset tone.
-"Nothing it's just that..."
-"you like somebody else," he said disappointed, and nodded.
-"that's ok, can I still talk to you?" He asked and I nodded.
-"ok," he said and left.
Ouch, I feel kinda bad for friend-zoning him. But I'm not going to put myself in a relationship I don't want.
I saw Jessica and Christian talking next to the door and I just left with the pain of knowing that I should get over Christian.
