Do you have instructions?
Maybe I'm stuck on what I see on tv
I grew up on Disney
But this don't feel like Disney
♡ ────── ♡ ────── ♡
I munch on a cookie and sigh...I can't believe Monday is already here... Well I already ate one so there's no going back.
I head back upstairs to change and go to the bathroom.
Then I head back downstairs to the garage. I take my time driving and then park in the school's parking lot. I have ten minutes before the first bell rings so I decide to just chill in my car.
I can't! I'm not ready to be rejected. I would reject myself. So why would anyone want to actually date me? I'm pretty lame so...
I look at the time and sigh. I push the door open and see people starting to walk to their class or head to their lockers. I make sure to put in my earbuds and slowly head to class. Then I slip inside the classroom.
I sit down at a desk, in the back, near the door and use my phone until class starts. I glance around the room and spot Ethan. Yep!
I spot Ethan and he makes eye contact with me. I immediately look back at my phone and hear the teacher is about to start class.
It's finally lunch and this time I know Red can't avoid me. I close my locker and then shout, "Red!" I see her eyes widen and she scurries in the opposite direction.
Hunter meets me at my locker and says, "Dude we need to talk."
"About what?" I ask confused.
We sit down at a random lunch table and I ask, "Where's Red and the rest of the girls?"
"What happened between Scarlett and you?" He asks.

"Nothing!" I say hiding a blush.
"Well Scarlett didn't want to sit with you today. So Layla and Harper decided to have some girl time during lunch. What did you do?" He asks.
"Well uh... Red kissed me. So of course I kissed her back." I murmur.
He smiles and says, "Congrats bro! Why aren't you guys talking though?"
"I don't know... She just started to ignore me and I don't know. She doesn't like me that way." I say sighing.
"She definitely likes you. That's for sure." He says laughing.
"How do you know that?" I ask.
"Whenever she sees you or talks about you her whole face lights up. You do too." He says.
"Just talk to her." He says finishing his lunch.
"That's turning out to be a lot easier said than done. I don't want to get rejected... That's all." I say.
"I highly doubt you're getting rejected. Like 40%." He says. My eyes widen and he raises his hands. "I don't know these things! Layla and Harper probably know more." He says.
I park my car and see Red's already inside working. I walk inside the cafe and she glances at me. I hold my breath and continue to walk towards the counter.
I exhale since I see she has her earbuds in. That's the universal sign of don't talk to me. In her case it probably means, "Ethan I hate you and never want to talk to you again."
A few customers come in and we start to work on their orders. I hand Red one of the orders hoping she won't ignore it. She turns to me but doesn't look at my face. Taking the order from me I see her hide a tiny smile and I sigh.

Maybe everything will work out in the end? We continue to do the same routine, just without the talking.
When our shifts are over Red and I get our backpacks and leave the cafe. I try to talk to her but nothing comes out of my mouth. So I close my mouth and turn to get into my car.
Maybe... I'm probably gonna chicken out though.
