LIT AF 2.19

Fort:
So it's cool to talk for a little more?

Sabrina:
Yeah 😊
Hey, remember that time in high school during the foundation day in senior year?
You might have forgotten but we were stuck in the pretend-jail together.

Fort:
Yeah, what about it?

Sabrina:
I never got to ask.
What were you in for?

Fort:
Ah, that. Haha

Sabrina:
What, did you sneak out during school hours?

Fort:
Nah

Sabrina:
Were you caught playing basketball when you shouldn't?

Fort:
No, but I should've done that.
🤔🤔

Sabrina:
Then, what did you do?

Fort:
I actually don't remember

Sabrina:
You technically just said you did.
I can sense your lie all the way from here, Fortunato.

Fort:
Alright, fine. Haha
My friends plotted the whole thing for me. One of them was on patrol and he made some bullshit excuse to get me inside the pretend-jail. The plan was to get me stuck with my crush in the room for the whole day.

Sabrina:
Oh, wow.

Fort:
Yeah
It was obviously a fail, tho

Sabrina:
That's too bad.

Fort:
Yeah

Sabrina:
Sorry it was a total bust.

Fort:
Who said it was?

Sabrina:
You missed your chance with her, didn't you?

Fort:
Who said I did?

Sabrina:
What?

Fort:
🙂🙂

Sabrina:
But you were stuck with me.
I don't get it.

Fort:
Do you need some time to think about it?
😂😂

Sabrina:
Do you mean... I was your... crush... back then?

Fort:
Yeeeaah

Sabrina:
Are you serious?

Fort:
I'm dead Sirius

Sabrina:
But you said it was a fail just now!!!
(I hate you for using that pun, btw)

Fort:
Yeah, because my torpe ass couldn't bring myself to talk to you. I had the chance for a whole day
And I blew it.

Sabrina:
Is it April Fools today?

Fort:
No. Haha

Sabrina:
I still can't believe it.

Fort:
Ever wondered who gave you donuts for Valentine's Day for 2 years in a row?

Sabrina:
Omg, don't tell me...
😱

Fort:
Okay, I won't tell you it was me.
I also won't tell you that it was me who left you that brand new beaker for chemistry class so that you wouldn't get in trouble for breaking yours before the class even began.

Sabrina:
You knew that?!

Fort:
I told you, I noticed.

Sabrina:
But you got scolded that day for not bringing your equipment... Omg, I feel so bad!

Fort:
Nah, no worries.

Sabrina:
I still can't believe you're telling me all this!
I can't even... WOW!

Fort:
Why is it so hard to believe?

Sabrina:
Uh, because I had a huge crush on you back in high school and my inner teen self is rejoicing at the fact that her ultimate crush was the one sending her donuts during Valentine's Day?!

Fort:
You had a crush on me?

Sabrina:
I thought I was really obvious.

Fort:
Trust me, you weren't.

Sabrina:
Wow, this night is lit af with all these revelations.
😂

Fort:
Tell me about it. Haha

Sabrina:
So... there. It wasn't Miguel.
It was you.

Fort:
Damn, if I'd only known back then
Why didn't you tell me?

Sabrina:
Why didn't YOU?

Fort:
Touché

Sabrina:
But that's what a 'crush' is all about, right?
That's why most people say it's "only a crush" because it's nothing serious. It's just this light feeling you get whenever you see that person or when someone brings them up in a conversation.
Just seeing them brightens up your day, no matter how down you are. They're supposed to be out of reach because if you get too close, the magic might disappear.

Fort:
Yeah, you're right
Thanks for clearing that up for me

Sabrina:
No problem.

Fort:
Now I know that what I had back then was just a silly old crush. After all, I was too afraid to get too close to you to even just talk.

Sabrina:
😅

Fort:
But now I'm a 100% sure that I wanna get to know you better. No more torpe moves.

Sabrina:
What are you saying?

Fort:
I'm saying that this isn't just a crush anymore
I got a 2nd shot and I'm sure as hell not wasting it

Sabrina:
Were you always this direct?
😂

Fort:
Just speaking the truth, Sab.

Sabrina:
While you're speaking the truth, tell me why you pretended not to know me earlier?

Fort:
Hey, it goes both ways. I was waiting for you to say something.

Sabrina:
Well, even if I told you, I wasn't sure you knew I existed. What's your excuse?

Fort:
How about this, I'll tell you my excuse on our 2nd date?

Sabrina:
You're really insisting that tonight is our first, huh?

Fort:
That's not a no

Sabrina:
It's a maybe.

Fort:
Then, I'm looking forward to our future of maybes
