-Y/N's POV-
When I woke up, I blinked several times. Then my eyes scanned the woods, I was alone.

I stood up from the bridge that me and my best friends used to go as kids and released a breath out then I heard footsteps running towards me.

I jerked my head around and saw Clay running towards me. When he caught up to me, he smiled widely while holding his chest.

CLAY:
"Hey."

Y/N:
"Hey." My eyebrows squished together as I smiled.

CLAY:
"You aren't forgetting about me, are you?"

My eyes widened a little.

Y/N:
"W—what?"

He paused for a moment.

CLAY:
"You aren't forgetting about me, right?" He tilted his head.

I froze as I felt uneasy.

Clay looked over his shoulder suddenly then quickly ran away, leaving me very confused.

That's when George ran up to me. He stopped in front of me while holding his knees, breathing heavily.

GEORGE:
"Running...sucks..." he said breathlessly, making me laugh.

Y/N:
"What's going on?"

He stood up straight with a wide smile and blush.

GEORGE:
"We kissed."

My eyes widened as my expression dropped. My cheeks heated up to shine red now.

GEORGE:
"Did you like it?"

I stopped breathing as I was frozen in shock. Before I could answer, he looked behind him then ran away, leaving me confused again.

Once he left, I heard footsteps get closer but they weren't as loud.

Nick walked up to me as he held his hands in his pockets. He lightly smiled at me.

Y/N:
"Nick." I smiled while squishing my eyebrows together.

He didn't say anything. All he did was smile at me then stepped closer.

Nick held my cheeks, making me widen my eyes as my cheeks instantly heated up, then he kissed my forehead.

I stopped breathing in shock, I couldn't help but smile out of reflex as I shut my eyes. It felt so real and it felt nice.

Then he let go of me and when I opened my eyes, he was gone, I was alone again. I turned around and scanned the empty forest.

My eyes fluttered open slowly to see my 3 best friends standing over me with pizza and ice cream cartons in their hands.

CLAY:
"Hey sleepyhead." He chuckled, "You hungry?"

Clay held up the ice cream and pizza with a smile.

I swallowed hard as I darted my eyes between the 3 of them. I could feel my blush forming.

Y/N:
"U—um..." I stuttered.

GEORGE:
"Are you okay?" His eyebrows squished together.

Y/N:
"Y—yeah..." I nervously laughed, "Just had a weird dream..."

NICK:
"Was it about the mermaids?" He joked, making us all laugh and the tension on my shoulders fade.

Y/N:
"No, it's not important..." I lied with a light smile, "Food you say?"
