Fake friend
“No don’t buy that it looks weird on you” your “friend” says as you two are shopping for some new clothes for summer. “Why? You know I like this colour! Besides this shirt is cute and not even expensive” you say and already going to the cashier to pay for the shirt but your friend snatches it from you. “Nope I’m not going to get embarrassed to be seen with you wearing that” they say and go put it back on it’s place.
Now outside of another shop your friend turns to you. “Don’t look yet but I think that one guy is checking me out. The one with brown hair parted from the middle!” they exclaim and stare at you in anticipation. You find their described guy and lock eyes with him. “To be honest I think he’s looking at me” you say and your friend looks annoyed. “No he’s totally looking at me” they say and look back at the guy to try to impress him. “But I made eye contact with hi-” your friend cuts you off by hitting your shoulder. “Nah that was probably an accident. Since look at me. I’m way better looking than you” (Feeling sick to actually write this)
You rub your shoulder as the hit actually hurt some and try to fight the tears from forming because of their harsh words. “Oh my god he’s coming here!”
The boy stops a few steps away from you and your friend immediately shows their flirtatious smile to him. “Can I help you somehow?” they ask him and you feel hurt as they completely erased your existence now that there was someone handsome talking to you. “Yeah I would like to give this shirt to your friend” he says and lends you the shirt you wanted back at the other shop but your friend takes it before you can. “Oh you shouldn’t have done this. Just look at the shirt. It’s so ugly and looks weird on them. It just makes their flaws stand out even more” your friend says and you shift your gaze to the ground and blink the tears away quickly. “What are you talking about? I saw this shirt on them and it looked amazing. Aren’t you supposed to be their friend. Also I brought this to them not for you” the boy says and smiles at your comfortingly. You take the shirt and hear your friend scoff and chuckle. “Well it’s not my problem if you embarrass yourself, just don’t come near me so people don’t find out that I know you” they say and turn around to walk away.
“Well that was indeed interesting” the boy says and turns to look at you and just now you notice how incredibly tall he actually is. “Sorry for not introducing myself. I’m Johnny” he says and flashes you a blinding smile making your cheeks heat up slightly. “It’s okay I’m ____” you say and smile back at him.
“Umm maybe we could like go out someday? Just you know like getting to know each other since you seem so nice and I really want to get to know you but I don’t want to creep you out or something-” he stammers and rubs his neck nervously.
“Give me your phone” you say and he complies immediately most likely feeling a little bit of embarrassed by his rambling.
“Here. Text me the details I’ll look forward to it. Bye!” you say and run off giggling all the way, leaving him standing there with a dumb grin on his face as he stares at your contact in his phone.
