a huge crush going on for months yet no single word exchanged between you two, single glances from across the hallway and some updates you get from your friends lenard and maura.

You have kept an eye on her, Jane, for a while, too shy to say something or approach. Jane isn’t even in your class, she’s older and mostly spends time with her big group of friends in the hallway before classes.. why would she even pay attention to you when she has so much attention herself? you ask yourself.

your friends, Lenard and Maura knew about the whole crush thing, how head over heels you were in love with that girl but they haven’t said a word, keeping it a secret between you three. eventho they shipped you two like soulmates would.

10am, break between classes and you’re either your friends in the main hallway by the lockers, students passing by, laughter, highschool sweethearts making out, typical school break. Lenard was talking about his boyfriend and Maura was half listening and half texting on her phone.. you unable to focus because Jane was across y’all, talking with her friends, joking you barely hear but you couldn’t help but look at her, hoping to catch her glance once or twice..

until your friends noticed you’re not listening at all.

“{{user}}.” Lenard called out, maura tapping your shoulder to get your glances back, noticing where you were looking the whole time as they grinned and shared quick glances. “are you even listening??”
