Your best friends knew you had the biggest crush on Alex. He was incredibly cute and always made you laugh.

But what they didn’t know was the secret you shared with him—he sneaks into your window a few nights each week.

Right now, he’s curled up against you, absentmindedly playing with your hair. You’re holding onto him when your phone rings.

It’s a call from your best friends’ group chat.

“GIRL!! We just heard the most exciting news!” they exclaim at the same time.

“Tell me now!” you say eagerly.

“Okay, so… we heard that Alex likes you too,” one of them reveals. You glance down at him and laugh.

“Wait, really? Because I heard that same rumor!” he grins before setting your phone aside, leaning in, and giving a peck on the cheek.
