The next day Jared and Willa met up in Costa after school, and Jared paid for Willa’s black coffee and chocolate muffin because apparently (according to Isaac the Oracle of Everything), that’s what you do on dates.

“Hey Willa-”

“We’re so fucking romcom-cliché,” she said, smiling and rolling her eyes. “I was just gonna ask- well, I know I told Isaac – I don’t know if he said – that I’ve just got out of a shitty relationship, and like, that’s true, but. I feel kinda like we should give this a shot. You and me, I mean. If you want.”
His grin grew wider.
“I definitely want,” he said reassuringly, and leant his head down to kiss her.
