Today was the second day of San Diego Comic Con 2k17, and I was stoked. I would get to see so many of my idols! But I was definitely most excited to see the IT cast.
Wyatt & I had been best friends for years, and while filming as Regan in The Exorcist, I didn't get to see him very often. I was hoping I'd get to at least have a conversation with him in between the interviews and meet & greets.

Arriving at the morning panel, where we'd address our plans for the day, I immediately saw a curly head of blonde hair.
"Wyatt!"
I started running towards him.
"Shaniiyah!"
We clashed in a huge hug as he spun me off the ground.
"Oh my god Shaniiyah! I haven't seen you in so long, you're beautiful."
Wyatt was always so sweet. Over the past year or so I've started catching feelings for him. Not wanting that to get in the way, I haven't said anything to anyone.
"Look at you Wyatt! God, you're in so many photo shoots you're like a certified model!"
We hugged again. It felt,
right.
"I have to go to my panel over there but I'll talk to you later?"
I started backing away letting go of his hands.
"Yeah, uh Shaniiyah?"
His tone was a bit off, and I didn't know what was wrong.
"What's up, Wy?"
"Nothing urgent. I just want to talk to you later, okay?"
I was a bit nervous, as he sounded pretty serious.
"For sure. See ya Wy!"
With that, I headed to get my schedule.

Day two was almost over, and I'd been so busy with my schedule I didn't have time to talk to Wyatt.
On my way to the final interview of the night before heading home, I decided to text him.
Shaniiyah: hey Wyatt, sorry everything was so jam packed today I didn't get to meet up with you. I'm at booth 24B, waiting for an interview. I still have half an hour. Want to meet up?
I sent it, bouncing my leg in the green room of the Entertainment Weekly booth. My costars had yet to arrive, so I was the only one, besides the producers running takes.
Wyatt: it's ok. Be there in 5.
Thankfully, he responded.
I was so nervous for what he wanted to talk about.
My thoughts were interrupted by a producer, clipping a mic onto the top of my shirt and having me test it.
"Miss. Shaniiyah, there is someone here to see you."
Oh god. Why was I so nervous?
I got up, making my way to the door.
"H-hey." He stuttered. He never stutters. This must be really important.
"Hey Wy. There's an empty room in the back where we can talk."
I guided him to the back, and we sat down on the couch.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
He twiddled his thumbs, and then looked up into my eyes.
"Shaniiyah. I really like you. Like, really really like you. More than a best friend."
I was in awe. My best friend, was admitting that he liked me.
"I-I like you too Wyatt."
He sighed in relief.
"Would you go on a date with me?"
I pretended to think about it, before laughing,
"Of course!"
I kissed his cheek, and got up.
"I'll see you after the interview, okay?"
His eyes were wide and he was speechless.

Walking out into the green room, all the producers, and my cast mates were standing there smirking.
"You know, we heard all of that."
What?
"Wait, wha- oh my god. The mic was on."
