"I CANT BELIEVE I KISSED HER," i thought turning onto the highway with yasmine in the front seat, "oh my God- why did i do that? we arent even dating. i mean well shes kissed me before BUT WHAT IF SHE WASNT OKAY WITH IT- OH GOD."
"how do you think you did on the chemistry quiz?" her voice asked snapping me from my mental freak out.
"er- what?" i asked her shaking my head.
my curls flopped around as i gave her a glance before looking back at the road.
"how do you think you did on the quiz today?" she asked me, "im chem."
"oh," i stated, "uh pretty good. i hope. it was 5 questions and i reviewed my notes well."
"thats good," she replied casually, "my grades in."
"ah," i responded, "what did you get?"
"a 100," she answered me, "wanna check yours?"
"yeah," i told her grabbing my phone from my lap and handing it to her, "password is 1007."
"mine is my birthday too," she said laughing, "okay ima hold it up to your face so it logs in with your face id."
"yeah." i mumbled turning my head to her for a second.
i heard her nails click on the glass of my phone, "oh 24 out 25."
"nice." i thought smiling.
"can you check what that is?" i asked her.
"yeah," she responded.
"did my grade go up?" i asked her.
"its a 92." she told me typing on my screen.
"lets goooo." i thought with a smile.
"its a 96." she told me and i smiled again.
"i had a skills check too," i added, "can you check my geometry grade."
"um," she hummed, "its a 86. you got a 100 on the skills check."
"i needa get that math grade up then ill be good," i stated with a sigh, "i fucked my last test because i didnt study i was too busy watching death note."
her laugh echoed, "we can start studying together if itll help you."
"you would distract me." i argued laughing.
"what how?" she asked tilting her head.
"with you eyes, lips, smile, laugh; WITH YOUR EVERYTHING ??? how is that even a question that came from out of you? " i thought with a shake of my head, "you make me want to kiss you."
"you talk a lot." i teased her.
she gasped dramatically, "WOW."
"im kidding," i told her turning into the malls parking lot, "no i love your stories. but you would distract me."
she didnt respond and now szas voice was the only noise other than the engine of the car.
"i brought my card by the way." i said looking over yasmine.
"UGH," she sighed, "IM BUYING DINNER THOUGH!"
i laughed at her annoyance with me.
"okay, okay," i said leaning over the glove box, her anger filling me with confidence, "fine."
i pecked her cheek, stilling her and silencing her as well. her neck flushed red and i flashed her a smile.
"let me get the door for you." i added unbuckling my seat belt.
...
"i feel like you'd look good in like a tan," yasmine said searching through hangers, "or any brown."
i was looking over her shoulder. her hands carefully touched the front of the shirts before she scooted them down the rod they were hanging on.
"its gonna be cold soon." i added from behind her.
"i know," she responded smiling, "we're giving you the best winter fits of all 2021."
"the best?" i repeated and she looked over her shoulder smiling at me.
"THE best." she confirmed
"alright." i said from behind her.
"this one." she mumbled pulling off a tan colored crew neck.
she spun around to face me and looked at it then at my chest. she lifted up, the top of the hanger lightly touching my under-chin. she smiled and met my gaze.
"you know you look good in everything right?" she asked me with a smile.
i smiled at her, "im pretty sure you've told me that."
"pretty sure? " i scoffed, "i KNEW damn well she did."
"well," she said shrugging, "im saying it again."
"you picked a lot of other clothes," i said lifting up the bags in my hands, "im not even sure i have enough hangers for all this."
"ill buy you hangers then." she said waving me off.
i chuckled as she turned back to the clothes again and continued searching.
"i didnt mind buying myself clothes," i thought honestly, "i simply jus dont know what to buy. its nice to have her do most of the work."
"tomorrows homecoming," i stated over her shoulder, "are you sure you're still down for it?"
"am i sure?" she scoffed, "thats all ive been thinking about since i asked you."
i blushed embarrassed.
"i cant believe she asked ME," i thought watching her curls bounce as she turned her head and walked further down the clothes aisle we were standing in, "i should have. but you didnt. I KNOW THAT! well then if she asked me to homecoming ... then i have to ... ask her ... to be my girlfriend. THATS NEXT RIGHT? i mean we like each other ... IM PRETTY SURE. IM SURE. YES. so then ill ask her. and if she says no then ill probably bang my head on my door when i get home or something. she wouldnt say no. not after homecoming ... RIGHT? oh God. im the worst person for this. what if she actually says no. OH GOD. WOULD SHE STILL BE MY FRIEND? WHAT IF SHE STOPS SITTING NEXT TO ME IN THE LIBRARY- IMAGINE HOW AWKWARD- OH GOD. NO. I CANNOT GO THROUGH THAT."
"is this cute?" yasmine asked interrupting my thoughts holding up a my hero academia shirt, "its anime right?"
"yea," i answered, "thats deku."
"oh!" she exclaimed, "i heard that before. ima watch it after i finished death note."
i chuckled, "you should, yeah."
