''Yes'', I breathe out, feeling her hot breath against my lips. She puts on hand on my cheek, making me shiver. Wanting to keep the contact, I put my trembling hands on her waist. Carefully, she brushes her thumb against the skin on my cheek and I feel how my goosebumps pops out.

"I've been wanting to do this for a long time", she whispers, sending more goosebumps all over my body. She looks into my eyes one more time before leaning in closer so our lips are almost touching. It's fucking happening-

''Ember? Billie? Where are you guys?'' Julia screams from a far distance, making me jump away from Billie. We are really lucky that she didn't see us.

''Fuck'', I mumble and stand up.

''We're coming!'' I yell before walking through the woods back to the car with Billie behind me. Why? Why did Julia have to search for us now? We were so close to kiss and she fucked that up. I'm pretty pissed when I come back to the car.

''What were you guys going?'' Travis asks, confused and I try to come up with an excuse but I'm struggling. Fortunately, Julia saves me.

''Can't we go to McDonalds now? I'm really fucking hungry and I'm gonna starv to death'', she says dramatically with one hand on her forehead.

''Okay, let's get some food'', Kevin says, yanking the car door open. We all get in and I quickly sit down in the passengers seat next to Kevin. I don't want to sit next to Julia right now. We were so close. So, so close to do what I've been wanting to do since we met and she had to fucking interrupt us.

Suddenly, my phone lights up and I can see that it's a snapchat from Billie so I open it up immediately.

👅👅💦

The last message almost makes me burst out in laughter and I can hear how Billie's laughing as well.

I watch Billie through the rear-view mirror and she smirks at me before looking away, pretending that nothing happened. She keeps sending me tongue emojis and turn my phone off, pressing my lips together to not laugh while looking out through the window. After turning around, I see how Julia stares at Kevin.

''So, when will you guys get married?'' I ask, moving my gaze to Kevin who blushes and shakes his head.

''Shut up'' he mumbles, embarrased, making us all laugh.

After half an hour of driving, Kevin parks at McDonalds and we all get out from the car. Julia, Billie and Kevin walk together and me and Travis are walking behind them.

"Trav, I just wanted to say that you're great and really good looking, but don't you think that we're better as friends?" I say carefully, not wanting to hurt him. He turns around and smiles at me before putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Yo, I totally agree with you, bro. And you are not that bad either", he grins.

"So we're bros?" I ask.

"We're bros", he confirms. "Let's get some fucking food!" He then screams, running as fast as he can to the entrance, making me scream and run after him. As we get in, the others are already ordering their food and we get to the desk just in time to order ours as well. I sit down next to the window, starting to drink from my Cola, when Travis sits next to me.

"Fuck", he mumbles. "School starts tomorrow, I hate school."

"I know, man", Kevin says as he and the others sit down as well. "You got three points on the easiest test of the fucking year."

"I was at a party the night before, man! No one even told me that we were having a test that day!" Travis snaps to defend himself.

"I'm sure that you had a good reason", I say, putting my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. He puts his hand on mine and lets me lean on his shoulder.

"Excactly, Ember is the only one who understands me", he says, pretending to cry. Kevin and Julia are laughing but Billie just rolls her eyes at us. Why is she so jealous all the time? Gosh, this is confusing. I bite into my cheeseburger and it tastes amazing. Have I ever said how much I love cheeseburgers? It tastes like heaven, man.

"So... what are y'all up to this week?" I ask to start a conversation.

"Just going to school as usual. We should hang out during the week as well", Travis says.

"Totally", Billie says, smirking at me and I immediately look away, probably blushing. I do agree with her, though. If all of our meetups will be like this, I'm down.

"Bils, what are you going to do?" Kevin asks.

"Well, I don't know. I actually don't have as much shit to do as I usually have", she explains and we all nod.

When we're done with the food, we go out to the car again and I do sit next to Billie this time, practically cuddling with her because I'm so tired (and I'm in love with her).

After a while we stop at Julia's house.

"Goodbye guys! We had really fun today, didn't we?" She says happily.

"We did, bye!" Billie says, waving to her.

''You really like her, don't you?'' I ask Kevin after he starts to drive again.

''Don't tell her, but yeah I do'', he admits.

''Aww!'' Billie and Travis outbursts.

''Yeah, it's cute, but don't you fucking hurt her, okay?'' I say with a chuckle.

''I won't hurt her'', he says before stopping the car at my house. I yank the door open and say my goodbyes before going into my house, just like Julia did. I hope that they will have a conversation about Billie liking me just like we had that conversation about Julia. I open the door and wave to the car one last time before entering my house

"Hey, mom", I say as I take my shoes off.

"Hi, Ember", she says and I observe her a bit before going to my room. I plug in my headphones and down on the bed. It's 11pm, so I should definetely sleep now. After crawling under the covers I hug my pillow tightly and close my eyes.
