Stuttering Heartbeat

The next day, after school, I immediately rushed to the courtyard where Destiny and I agreed to meet after our classes. We commuted on our way to the mall that we are going to hangout in.

"What do you want to do first?" she asked.

"W-we c-could start by grabbing some food I guess, my mind is kind of t-tired from s-school you know, I need food to s-somehow refreshen it" I said.

"Wally, you're doing that stuttering thing when you're feeling shy again, don't be shy of me, I'm your best friend!" she told me.

"Okay. Alright" I replied.

"So, some food then?" she asked.

"Yeah, some doughnuts and coffee maybe" I responded.

"Okay then, that settles it then" she told me.

So, we walked into the doughnut store and grabbed some coffee too. I feel guilty with her buying me doughnuts and coffee, like I should be the one paying, but I let her do so because she insisted time and time that it was her treat.

"What do you want to do next?" she asked.

"We could watch a movie perhaps?" I answered.

"Which movie?" she asked again.

"Any movie that is available and is not horror" I responded.

"Then we shall watch that famous trending romance movie then" she said.

"a romance movie…" I said in my head.

"Wally?" she snapped in front of me.

"Y-yeah sure that's a good idea" I replied.

And we picked a nice seat in the cinema. When we found our seats, she lifted the arm rest and snuggled in my arms, and I felt surprised by this.

"is she showing me a sign of her having feelings for me?" I thought to myself.

"You don't mind this Wally?" she asked.

"U-uhm y-yeah." I replied nervously.

"Okay" she smiled at me.

My face was so red and is screaming happiness. Imagine watching a romance movie with your "best friend" (well technically she is somehow my crush), and she suddenly snuggles comfortably in your arms. It's the best feeling ever.

"I know you have a crush on me Wally…" she whispered to herself.

"Were you saying something?" I asked.

"Nothing…" she smiled again.

"was she assuming that I have a crush on her?!" I panicked inside my head.

"Dessie?" I checked if she's awake.

"Yes?" she asked.

"I-I h-have to t-tell y-you s-something…" I responded.

"What is it Wally?" she asked again.

"definitely not now Wally!" my inner self told me.

"Oh u-uhm n-never mind…" I told her.

"You're weird… and cute…" she said.

My cheeks were super red after she told me that. I really had a lot of questions in mind. Is she also interested in me? Is she trying to get a confession from me? It's impossible, she only thinks of me as her best friend. Or does she?
