You’re laying on your stomach in bed, working on an assignment.

You’ve got music playing quietly from your phone.

But suddenly the music stops and you feel your phone buzzing. It’s your best friend.

You’re about to pick up when you hear a small pebble thrown at your window.

You put down your phone and pencil, getting up.

You open your window to see your best friend with her arms crossed.

“Oh my god, finally! Are you coming?”

You look down at your mini shorts and cropped sweatshirt.

Your best friend reads your mind and smiles.

“Don’t worry, we’re just going to the gas station to get snacks like usual.”

You look at her and sigh, climbing out.

“Okay, fine, let’s go.”

You get to the gas station and your best friend makes a joke about your outfit being “provocative.”

You turn your head to glare at her as you open the door to the gas station.

But suddenly you run into a wall… well, a guy.

You step back.

“I’m sorry!” you say, looking up.

Your classmate Andy stares back at you.

“It’s okay.”

He looks you up and down and you see him swallow as he looks away.

He steps aside and holds the door open for you.

As the door shuts and Andy walks away, he puts his hand on his neck, letting out a breath. Quietly, he mutters to himself.

“God, why is it so hot in here all of a sudden?”-his cheeks flushed as he tries to steady his nerves.
