"she's not you."
"what?"
"she. isn't. you."
angela pursed her lips, she wasn't sure what to believe anymore.
"she's pretty, but her face doesn't transform into sunlight when she talks about music." walker did that clench thing with his jaw and said, "she's funny, but not spit-out-your-drink-in-astonishment funny." it felt like her heart was going to explode as his eyes moved down to angela's lips. he moved his face a little closer to hers, looked into her eyes, and rumbled, "and when i see her, i don't feel like i have to talk to her or mess up her hair or do something—anything—to get her to swing that gaze on me."
"you haven't messed up my hair in a really long time." angela nodded, pushing back a piece of her hair.
"and it's been killing me." he took a step closer. "i fell in love with teasing you in the second grade, when i first discovered that i could turn your cheeks pink with just a word. then i fell in love with you."
"so you and abby aren't-" angela could feel her heart beating, this was all she wanted to hear.
"nope." walker reached down and wrapped the drawstrings on her hoodie— his hoodie— around his hands. "we're just friends?"
"oh." angela's brain was trying to keep up, but his handsome face was making it difficult. that and his sudden presence in her personal space, not to mention the gentle pull of him tugging her closer.
