Lucy
Hey, how did it go?
Noelle
Pretty good?
Lucy
So it wasn't the most awkward thing in the world?
Noelle
Well, the jury is still out on that one
But it was really nice to see them again
Lucy
Nice to see them or nice to see Tom ;)
Noelle
Shut up kid
He's famous and we haven't seen each other in forever, I'm sure that he's dating someone or has better candidates than me
Not that we'd even be a couple anyway!
Lucy
Hey, you never know!
All I'm sayin is you guys were definitely checking each other out...
Noelle
Anything else aside, you cannot forget about my endless talent that consists of being friends with boys who are not interested in me
It's an art that really takes a lot of effort to perfect
Lucy
We'll see how things turn out.
But spoiler alert- I'm always right :)
Noelle
Let's just see if we can even be friends first
...not that I'd be necessarily interested in anything more just to clarify!
Lucy
Uh huh, sure pal
Noelle
I hope that you get cleated tomorrow at practice
Lucy
Love you too, sleep well!

I put my phone down and rolled over in bed. It was true that I didn't really date much, and it was a bit of a sore subject for me. I liked guys and would have liked a boyfriend, but not much fit when soccer was my significant other. And there is no way that Tom and I could be a thing... right? I mean I wasn't even interested. Sure he was cute, but we didn't even know each other anymore. I had not idea what his career looked like, his favorite ice cream flavor, or where he lived full time. It was clearly a better choice to just get to know him and Harrison again, without the complications of any romance.
Having cleared my conscious to some degree, I set my alarm for 6 and rolled off to sleep.
