Tessa

"I'm, ugh, can't believe I'm about to say this, but I-I'm glad we got to do this," I sighed when John and I approached our apartment building.

"Do I detect...emotion?", John smirked.

"Perhaps. I'm genuinely surprised I can feel, too," I roll my eyes. "I'll see ya Monday."

I stalk into my apartment, now exhausted. Then, as if summoned, Isen calls me.

"Hey, lad," I greet with as much emotion as I care to muster.

"Heya, Tessa!", Isen greets with his voice that reminds me of Chris Evans.

"Wassup?"

"There's a dance coming up the week after next-"

"No," I declare.

"Hear me out, T."

"Fine," I dramatically huff.

"But Civil War also comes out that day," Isen continues. 

"Alright," I smile a bit.

"I was thinking we steal some snacks and then go see it or whatever."

"That sounds fun, actually!"

Isen's POV

"So that's it, I guess," I shrug.

"Wait! Can we, uh, talk?", Tessa asks in a small voice. "In confidence?"

"Sure," I nod. "What's up?" I sit up on my bed and take my phone off speaker.

"I think...I don't like John. He's kind of unstable and more guarded than me, and I looked in his mind the other day and he's thinking about asking this barista from Barstucks out. I just feel like I think I'm supposed to be in love with him but I just...," Tessa trails off.

"Am not?", I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah," Tessa sighs.

"Do you...like anyone else...by chance?", I blush a little bit.

"I don't know, I don't think so," Tessa replies. "Remember I told you this in confidence."

"Right."

I hang up and lay back on my bed. There's a sneaking suspicion (or perhaps a hope) in the back of my head that Teresa Hansson might be catching feelings for me. She certainly acts differently around me than she does other people. Tessa will make conversation with me sometimes; maybe that's how she flirts. She also did accept my invitation to go to a movie with me. Surely she'd know she's accepted to a date.

Update 1/10/21: i edited this a little bit, but nothing too extravagant

obligatory a/n: sososososoooo sorry for the short chapter i promise the next one will be at least 1000 words. anyway, thanks for reading and i really hope you like it! 

also another announcement: I got an instagram! I'll be posting some art, my dogs, food, whatever there soon enough and my name is Plague_Doctor_Extraordinaire with the username cthulhu_herself. give me a follow if you like and also check me out on reddit, where I'm Schlorgan27

also also i know I'm inconsistent with the timing of the story, so since I'm making Civil War the newest marvel movie, the story is now officially set in April 2016. 

Have a good day lads, peace out!
