Part 12 - Cora's POV

A few minutes after Liz leaves I go downstairs to talk to my mom, she's the only one that understands me, like yeah I have Owen

But Owen is a gay dude, I'm a gay chick, literal polar opposites.

Yet low and behold my mom gives me the same advice as Owen does "sleep on it, and if you don't feel right about it when you wake up, text her"

Which is I guess good advice but not what I wanted to hear

I wanted to hear "go after her" or "fuck her you're literally slaying" I would be so good at advice people should come to me more often

I decide against my better judgment to sleep on it

--------------------------
The next morning

I wake up feeling shitty, I pull out my phone to see a single message from Liz

"I'm sorry, can we please talk about this"

All of a sudden all of the shitty feelings went away, yes I still feel like an asshole, but now I feel like a lonely seen asshole

I can't bring myself to text her back, I leave her on read as I open Snapchat
[Back to the message typing thing lol]

♥️Cora - you won't believe what I did

💖Owen - omg are you and Liz dating??

♥️Cora - ok I know you think you're being funny but dead ass I think I fucked up

💖Owen - shit wait what happened??

♥️Cora - I invited Liz over yesterday and everything was going good, until she asked to be my girlfriend and I yelled at her thinking it was an elaborate trick, but now I don't know

💖Owen - oh shit
💖Owen - do you want to be her girlfriend?

♥️Cora - I mean yes, but also, would it really be a good relationship? We could end up like Luz and Amity, or Jasper and Lapis, one is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, and the other is a shit storm

Wow a reference to two different shows? great job me

💖Owen - while that is true, wouldn't you rather fail at something that shouldn't have been, then never attempt something that would've worked
💖Owen - I mean when we die, all that we will think of is what we never did, all our regrets, do you want this to be something you are looking back on when you're old?

♥️Cora - holy shit where did this poetic side of you come from

💖Owen - TikTok 🤷

♥️Cora - of course

💖Owen - also I know that maybe you guys shouldnt date right now, a relationship needs to be built on trust, without trust there isn't a relationship, so you need to build a bond with her

I stare at that last message for a bit, before opening insta

Salty.Space - I'm sorry, I was an idiot yesterday, please forgive me, I would love to date you
Salty.Space - but, we need to build a friendship before anything could happen

ImThatBitch - we can do that :)
ImThatBitch - what about if we take some space and then next week when school gets out for Christmas break, we can hang out and get to know each other

Salty.Space - Sounds perfect :)

Read 9:52 am

Just one week of school and we can start building a bond. Just one week.

-------------------------------
Ok I literally hate slow burn, but apparently this is turning into it, I just need to get them to December 31st/ January 1st
