She sits on the couch. And I offer her some chocolates. She takes them and sighs.

"Dude, I don't know what to do. ", she says thinking deeply.

I sit on the chair near the couch,"About?"

She looks at me, "Jason."

Oh no. I do not want to talk to her about him. Looking at her face, I feel she'll be asking me some relationship advice.

I can't do it.

People usually go to friends who are single for relationship advice. Well, I saw this on my wall minutes ago. On Facebook of course. But why me?

She finally spoke, "Jason is in love with me"

What? What is she talking about? Jason is in love with her? Didn't he just tell me they've decided to move on.

"But - But he thinks we are not right for each other. " she continued

I folded my hands across my chest and gave a slight nod.

" He was my first boyfriend, but I don't feel the connection anymore. "

Didn't they just break up? What is she talking about?

" But now it's over, right? ", I said.

She looked at my face with a confused expression," You already know? Did Jason tell you? Of course he did. What did he tell you? "

" Nothing.. Just that you guys have decided to move on - "

" So you know everything, that idiot" she said laughing

"What's so funny? ", I asked throwing my hands in the air. But not dramatically. She stopped laughing and continued. "Oh, it's nothing. I wanted to be the one to tell you. A bit dramatically. But you already know, so it's not required "

Before I could say anything, she said " Zac seems to be interested in you "

" What? No-"

Before I could complete, I could hear my mom's car in the driveway. Val got up suddenly. She made signs of leaving and I gave a nod. The point is mom does not like her. I don't know why. She doesn't like me hanging out with Val for some reason. Val made her way out through the back door and Mom along with my sister came in through the front door. My sister looked at me, "Can you please change your profile picture on Facebook? Please!"

"Why? ", I asked her. Though I knew the reason. My profile picture is a picture of me in the backyard of my house but my sister is in the background. She isn't posing and is making a very weird expression. She looks hilarious.

" My friends brought that topic today. Again! " she exclaimed." Change it into the posed picture.. We took that day. "

I liked that picture and I also wanted to see if Zac would like it. It was a picture clicked by my sister with me standing on the stairs with a pose. I wanted to try that pose once haha

Now that I look at it, I feel weird and stupid. After lots of arguments inside my head, I decided to upload it.

I logged in from my phone this time. I can't check messages from phone, I don't know why. I uploaded the picture without a caption. I could see that I have 3 messages but could not read it. Since I was already online and it would be rude not to reply, I ran upstairs and logged in through my computer. I had two messages from Zac and one from Chace. I opened Zac's message because he had sent it earlier.

No. Because I wanted to.

Haha

It said ~

"Are you there? "

" Do you think we can have lunch together sometime? "

Oh my God. Is he asking me out?

I replied - " Like a date? "

He was online. But no reply.

I was getting notifications continuously. Then I decided to check if Zac had liked my picture. I clicked on one of the notifications. So I had 17 likes in 4 minutes with no comments. Just then one comment appeared. It was Chace! Before seeing the comment I clicked on his chat icon to reply. To my relief it just said "Hi". I replied with a "Hey". Then I checked his comment.

"Elena! This is so cute! ❤️"

He always types stuff like this. I thought of replying then I remembered Zac does not reply to any of them. Would he think I'm desperate?

No.

I do not care about what he thinks.

I will reply like I always do. Only to people I know. Zac also replies to that Tessie Jones right?

I replied "Hehe! Thanks Chace 😄"

Zac was still online!

But no reply.

He didn't even like my picture. Ugh.

I logged out and started doing my homework.

After two hours, I took my phone to call Anna. I totally forgot about what happened earlier today. I had to ask her why Mrs. Spark wanted to talk to her. I have enabled email notifications for Facebook. I checked. It doesn't show the likes. But it said,

"Rachel, Mia and 9 others have commented on your post. Click to view the comments "

And I clicked.

Rachel : "El! I told you that shirt would look amazing on you!"

Mia : "Girl you slay! 🔥"

Kevin : "Cute!!!"

Who is this guy? Ignore.

Jason : "Hot stuff ❤️"

Okay I'm blushing.

Zac : "You look beautiful Elena."

He commented!!

Yes!!

I'm smiling so hard!

The others included Anna, Camila and the others I didn't know.

I replied

Rachel: "Yeah! Thanks girl!"

Mia: "Hehe we all do 😉"

Jason : "Haha thanks!"

Zac : "Thank you, Zac 🙈"

I replied "Thank you " to Anna and Camila and ignored the rest.

Zac had replied to my message. I clicked on it.

"Yeah. So what do you say? "

I replied with "Okay"

This time the reply was instant.

" I see you are not that active here, so give me your number? So that I can text you place and time. "

Is this his way of asking my number.

Girl. He just asked you out.

Yes I know.

I gave him my number and logged out.

And now I was thinking of how the date would go.
