Chapter Twenty—Took You Long Enough, Pinetree
"How weird…?" I said to myself, looking down at my phone—the messages left on it, to be more precise. I mean, it seems like she took my text seriously (it was joke; sarcasm, you could say.)
Quite a while before she "mistakenly" called my phone, almost an hour, Mabel had texted me saying that Pacifica was going to go to Gravity Falls with her.
Letting out a slight sigh, I shut off my phone and placed it on the kitchen counter, the screen facing downward as to show off the eyesore of a case it wore—I was tired when I got it.
I began to wonder about her, Pacifica, going back to Gravity Falls for a few days. Where would she stay? With her parents, or would she sleep at the Mystery Shack? If she did, then where would she sleep? The floor? She would never. But the only free bed—last I was there—is mine.
Then I began to picture Pacifica sleeping in my—old—bed at the Shack. Why that made my face feel so warm, I don't want to know.
I placed my palm over my reddened face. I shouldn't even care what she does, but I do. I care that she's going to Gravity Falls, I care about where she'll stay, I even care about whether or not she thinks of me. Does that mean I care about her? That can't be right, can it?
As I thought about it more, though about her more, I couldn't believe it.
"That would mean…" I thought out loud, "I have feelings for her?"
Okay, I know what y'all are thinking. Yeah, this one is short, but that's the point of the chapter! It's Dipper coming to the realization that he has romantic feeling for Paz! Next is going to take place mainly either in a car or Gravity Falls! Stay tuned!
