A FEW DAYS after the festivities with Lizzie, Scarlett had asked to meet up for coffee to discuss everything that happened. It was odd she asked me but I agreed anyway, it's free coffee, I'm not gonna turn that down.
We've been at the coffee shop for a few minutes now but she hasn't asked me a single thing about it. She was busy talking about Marvel stuff and her upcoming film. She probably shouldn't be talking about it but she said she trusted me enough to tell me about it.
Best thing I've heard all day.
I occasionally took sips of my coffee while I listened to Scarlett talk about the movie till she realized what she was doing. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I asked you here to talk about Lizzie and I just rambled on." She was quick to apologize.
"It's fine, I was gonna let you talk anyway." I reassured.
"But tell me about what happened. I want to know everything." She spoke and had the look on her face that gave away how interested she really was in the topic.
I took a second to think about where to start in the story. Once I found the perfect place to start, I began to tell her all about that night and everything that happened. Scarlett grew more excited with every detail I said and she made sure to tell me that she thought it was cute. She definitely had this planned. That alone proves it.
"Why don't you just ask her out already?" She asked curiously then took a sip of her coffee.
"Well, we haven't know each other very long and I'm not even sure if I like her like that." I explained to her. "Plus she hasn't even said anything to me since that night."
She looked almost shocked to hear that. I guess she's never known Lizzie to ghost someone. "I'll have to talk to her about that." She said then pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her text conversations.
"No, don't worry about it, it's fine." I reassured her, or myself. I'm not sure who I'm trying to convince anymore. "Some things just don't work out."
"I'm still gonna talk to her." She replied then I watched as she texted Lizzie after I told her it was fine. I never noticed how fast was a texter she was till today though. Is there anything she can't do?
A few minutes after Scarlett had stopped texting, my phone vibrated and when I checked it there was a text notification from Lizzie displayed on the screen. "What did you do?" I asked her curiously as I showed her my phone screen.
"Hold on a minute, is that the Scarlet Witch as your lock screen?" She asked with a laugh then I quickly put my phone back in my pocket. I looked at her with the death glare and she continued to laugh. "I'm sorry, that's just amazing." She spoke as she tried to calm down, she was unsuccessful.
"You know, this is just mean." I pointed out to her. I'll read the text when Scarlett goes to the bathroom or something so I don't get made fun of again. "You better now mention that to Lizzie."
"I won't I promise." She replied after she finally stopped laughing.
"Alright, I'm trusting you a lot here." I told her then she went on to talk about her new movie once again while we finished our coffees.
I just know I'll have to watch this movie.
Once me and Scarlett had went out separate ways, I made my way home to find Conan sitting outside. "Can I help you?" I asked as I approached him.
"Yes actually, you can." He responded as he stood up and followed me to the door. "You can tell me where you've been for the past few hours." He suggested then followed me inside when I got the door open.
"Well, I was just out with Scarlett and she asked me some questions." I explained then set my stuff down and closed the door once Conan was inside. "It's not that big of a deal."
He just shrugged it off and sat on the couch. "Did you tell her about everything with Lizzie?" He asked curiously.
"That's what the questions were about." I replied and sat next to him when I remembered something. "Speaking of Lizzie." I thought out loud and pulled out my phone to text her back. I've left her on delivered for the past fifteen minutes and I didn't realize.
"Finally texting back your girlfriend?" Conan asked with a smirk.
"Oh my god, she's not my girlfriend." I argued and put my phone down. "What do you want for lunch?" I asked him after taking a deep breath.
"Taco Bell?" He suggested.
I thought about it for a moment then agreed and began ordering the usual for us. "Is Taylor stopping by at all?" I asked him curiously.
"I don't think so, I think she has an album release to prepare for." He replied. I just nodded my head then bought everything we needed.
"I'll be here soon." I told him then opened my messages to see Lizzie had texted me back then asked me if I was free tomorrow. I told her I was then she asked if I wanted to practice lines with her. It's important we know our lines obviously so I accepted. "Oh by the way, I'm gonna be busy tomorrow. Lizzie wants to practice our lines."
"Right, practice your lines." He spoke as if what I said was code word for something.
"What? That's really what we'll be doing." I explained.
"Alright, if you say so." He spoke in a way that I knew he didn't believe me. He'll realize eventually.
There was a few minutes of silence before Conan spoke up again. "So, Taylor made a new friend." He said and sat up a little. "I think her name is Olivia Rodrigo." He spoke and tried to remember her name.
"Oh yeah, I've heard of her. She seems nice." I replied when I realized who it was. "I've seen her song everywhere on social media."
"So have I, I think Taylor will introduce us to her soon." He said with a smile. "I just wanted to announce that. We can go back to the silence now." He spoke then moved his attention back to his phone.
After I was sure that he wasn't gonna say anything else, I went back to texting Lizzie. She mentioned that she would be coming over tomorrow around three that afternoon and we could chat a little bit before we would practice.
For this to happen out of no where I really wanna know what Scarlett said to her.
I guess I'll never know.
