"I knew it!" Jaliya exclaimed as we walked back to school from Popeyes. I finally told her about Bryson's dream, and to say she was ecstatic was an understatement.
"Yeah I was surprised too."
"This is amazing, so you finally told him?"
"Told him what?"
"How you feel."
"What are you talking about Jaliya?" I asked laughing.
"You told him you like him right?" She said and I nearly chocked.
"Jaliya...Bryson told me his dream and we agreed not to make it a big deal. And we don't see each other like that so can you like get over this fantasy of us dating?"
"It's not a fantasy. It's me seeing two people who clearly have strong feelings for each other suppress them out of fear and pride."
"Blahblahblah eat my ass."
"You're insufferable."
"I'm not built for a boyfriend anyways."
"You're insufferable."
"Look realistically if he wanted to he could've made a move years ago."
"You could've too."
"But I never-" I started to say but Jaliya darted her eyes at me. "Okay nevermind."
bryson⭐️- i need to see you
My stomach stopped.
"What happened?" Jaliya asked making me pause in my steps.
"Nothing," I said shaking that feeling off as we continued around the block towards school.
me- what happened? you okay?
bryson⭐️- im fine i just wanna see you before my game
me- where should i go?
bryson⭐️- outside the locker rooms
me- be there in like 5
bryson⭐️- and text me when ur with bria

"Samaria!" I heard and looked to see Bria. She was coming to Bryson's game today and we planned to meet in front of school.
"My girllll," I smiled hugging her.
"You ready to watch your brother play?"
"Of courseee," she smiled before we made it back into school and filed into the gym to secure our seats.
I told her and Jaliya that I'd be right back and headed outside to the halls. When I rounded the corner I already saw his frame leaning against the wall.
"Hi captain," I smiled as I moved closer.
He looked up from his phone and smiled.
"Hi Captain," he replied pulling me into a tight hug. "I missed you."
"You saw me four hours ago, quit with the mushy stuff." I mugged him as he still kept me in a tight hug.
"One day you'll learn to appreciate it bunny." He said once he pulled back. I would never admit it out loud, but I love the warmth from hugging him. If my safe place was a person it would probably be him.
