"So if we're looking at the structure of the paragraph we see that the author used many forms of advanced wording to get his point across" I roll my eyes as my professor keeps talking.

As he continues to ramble I pull my phone out and check through my socials only to see that I have one unopened DM. And it's from non other than Timothée Chalamet.

"Students, please remember there are no phones during lectures" my professor said causing my to lift my head only for my eyes to meet his.

A few students turned and glared at me as my cheeks flushed. I clicked the off button on my phone and slipped it back into my bag.

As my professor finishes off the lecture for the day my mind can't help but wonder about what Timothée said about how I was younger than he thought.

I obviously don't have any romantic feelings towards him due to the fact that he's way out of my league but i really enjoy talking with him. He seems like a cool person.

Hopefully he doesn't think it's weird or anything.

"Guys I have a dilemma" I sigh as I walk through the door to my dorm, grabbing the attention of both my roommates.

"Elaborate" Ashley says as she chews on a mint candy.

"So I was DMing with Timothée and somehow it came up that I was only 19 and he like got weird about" I speak as I set down my bag and flop down on my bed.

Eden sits up in her bed turning towards me. "What did he say"

"He was like 'so you're telling me you're 18?' and then I was like 'I'm 19 I started school late' and then he was like 'I thought you were older'" I finish off my story with another sigh.

He definitely thinks it's weird.

"I wouldn't think too much into it. It's not like he totally freaked or anything" Ashley shrugs as Eden nods in agreement. "Ash is right Adeline, don't worry"

I smile softly. "Yea I guess. I don't know I just like talking to him and I don't want him to be weirded out. How old is he anyways?"

Ashley types something in on her phone taps once more. "24" she reads off.

He's twenty fucking four?

"Holy shit that's 5 years" I speak with wide eyes.

"Babe it could be so much worse. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were 12 years apart" Eden tries to reason.

"Yea you're right plus it's not like we're gonna date or anything" I laugh.

Ashley and Eden shoot each other a look.

"What? Why did you look at each other like that?" I question defensively.

"I don't know it's just that you guys have been talking for like two weeks now, maybe he's into you" Ashley smirks.

I roll my eyes so hard they almost come out of my head. "You guys are delusional if you think he's into me"

"You don't know that Addy you guys text like all day every day" Eden adds in.

"It's not even texting" I groan. "It's DMing. I think if he were 'into me' I would have his number by now" I say adding in air quotes around into me.

"Mhm okay whatever you say" Ashley winks causing me to throw a pillow at her with a laugh.

He's definitely not into me.

I practically fall off my bed as I see Timothée's comment causing me to earn some stares from my roommates.

"He commented, he commented" I squeal.

They scream along with me as ashley dives for my phone and Eden follows behind.

"You? What's that supposed to mean" Eden asked with a dumb look on her face.

"He means he's thinking of her dumbass" Ashley rolled her eyes, but still continued to smile at the comment.

"Should I DM him or should I wait?" I ask still examining the simple comment.

"I say wait. Make him want it" Eden shrugs as she returns to the place on her bed.

Ashley nods in agreement. "Yea it won't hurt to play hard to get. Plus the age gap clearly doesn't bother him"

Just as she says that, a notification pops up on my phone. It's from Timothée.

"OPEN IT" Ashley shrieks, seeing it as well.

We laugh together as Eden looks at us as if we have 4 heads.

I slowly click on the notification and scan over the message. It reads 'I feel like I should properly get your phone number since we've been talking this whole time on DM'

Ashley's eyes widen with mine as Eden gets up and sits back on my bed to read the message.

"We were literally just talking about how you guys should start real texting" Ashley nudges me with a smile.

"He's totally like a mind reader or something" Eden giggles as Ashley and I stare blankly at her.

Ashley breaks her gaze at Eden and turns towards me. "What are you waiting for answer him"
