PATRICK
oh I know you're smiling right now ;)

"Is that my best friend actually smiling towards her phone again?" I heard my best friend ask.

I look up to see Paige walking into our room. I was sitting on at my desk, quickly typing.

I should be doing my homework but with Patrick messaging me and Owen's follow spree, my mind is wondering.

"I thought you were with Maci?" I ask with an eyebrow raised.

Ever since they met at a that party, I know Paige has liked her.

"I was. But she wanted to get homework done." She flopped on her bed and looked at me.

I lock my phone and sit it on the desk while turning to her.

She was smirking towards me. "What?" I ask while crossing my arms.

"You've been texting this mysterious guy for almost a month now. Cant I know who he is?" She asked gossiping.

I bite my lip and shake my head. "His name is Patrick and that's all I'm telling you." I tell her sternly.

She groans and shakes her head. "Can you at least show me what he looks like?" My heart started picking up.

I didn't know how to say it, but I knew I had to. "I would. If I knew what he looked like." Her face changed.

"You know I love you. But I hope you're not getting catfished." She crossed her arms.

"I have a strange feeling about this one. Like he wouldn't lie to me." I shrug.

She takes a deep breath before speaking. "I just don't want you getting hurt. Especially after Gage." I groan at the name.

My phone buzzed next to me signaling another text from Patrick.

"I'm not going to get hurt."
