8. “You can take your blindfold off.” / 9. “I made them a spotify playlist full of love songs. Is that obvious enough?” / 20. “This feels like a trick question.” / E. Secret Admirer
Vanessa watched her friend stare intently at her phone, both amused and confused. “You know all this shit could be avoided if you just talked to her, right?”
Blair scoffed. “It’s gotta have a buildup, Vanjie. It’ll be more meaningful that way. Besides, I made them a spotify playlist full of love songs. Is that obvious enough?” She passed her phone to Vanessa so she could see her song choices.
“I don’t know a single fuckin’ one of these songs. You theatre kids are so goddamn extra,” she clicked her tongue and laid back on the bed after handing Blair’s phone back to her.
“You’re calling me extra?”
“I calls it like I sees it,” Vanessa chuckled. “And I can be extra, I’m the one with a girlfriend. Who I got by asking her out like a fuckin’ normal person instead of this secret admirer fuckery.”
Blair huffed and put her phone back in her pocket. “I refuse to consider anything about you or Brooke to be normal,” she retorted. “Look, are you gonna help me or not?” She got up to go to her laptop, opening spotify there instead and plugging a USB in.
Vanessa chuckled. “‘Course I’m gonna help you.” Her role in the plan was simple enough. She slipped a secret admirer note and the USB with the playlist into Brianna’s locker because she knew how to pick a lock (and Blair wasn’t about to ask how or why).
Once her task was done, she reported back to Blair. “Aight, you ready?”
“This feels like a trick question,” Blair chuckled dryly. “But yeah, I’m ready as I’ll ever be. Let’s move on to phase two.”
For that, Vanessa had one more task. As per the instructions in the secret admirer note, Brianna was waiting by her locker at the end of the school day, and it was Vanessa’s job to get her from point A to B. “Put this on,” she instructed, handing a sleep mask to her.
Brianna arched her brow, hesitating before putting the mask on. “I feel like I’m risking my life right now, I just want you to know that.”
Vanessa just laughed as she walked with her. “Just relax. You listened to that playlist, right?”
“Yeah, it was really sweet.”
“So now you’re just gonna find out who made it, and y’all can ride off into the sunset or whatever,” she explained as she led her into the auditorium. “You can take your blindfold off.”
Suddenly, Brianna felt very nervous, having no idea what she was about to see. Vanessa had such a variety of friends, it didn’t really narrow anything down, not that she could really stop and think about it. She was still grappling with the fact that she actually had a secret admirer. But when she took the mask off and saw Blair, her face lit up.
Blair smiled softly, tucking her hair behind her ear. “Hey.”
Brianna only vaguely noticed Vanessa sprinting out of the room to let them have their moment. Her eyes were fixed on Blair as she made her way over to her. “You really went through all that effort for me? I… that’s so sweet.”
“Does… that mean you’ll go out with me?”
The shorter girl’s smile only broadened as she kissed her cheek. “Absolutely.”
