I hope I didn't mess anything up by accepting his invitation...
That was my only thought as I looked between Jonah and Andi. There was an uncomfortable silence at the table for the longest time, and despite me being the most awkward, I knew I had to be the one to break it.
"Didn't you want to go hang out with Bowie, Andi..? Now you have the opportunity to do so." I suggested, trying to keep my voice even. Andi raised her eyes to look at me, then nodded.
"Um... Yeah, I can do that. I think you and Jonah need some, uh... Guy time anyways." She muttered, giving a weak smile. Something about the way she said guy time really got me. If I didn't know her any better, I'd think she was insinuating something, but as Andi was the most oblivious person I knew, I wasn't particularly worried about her... Knowing.
"Sounds great then. I'll meet you at the Spoon after school then, Cy?" Jonah asked, once again flashing that perfect grin in my direction. Even if I wanted to refuse, which I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to say no to his beautiful eyes and his stupid, perfect smile.
"Yeah. I'll meet you there." I managed to say, smiling back sheepishly and running my fingers through my hair. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Andi resuming her usual position on Jonah's side, which made my heart lurch and my stomach begin to sink again. I tried to shake it off, seeing as how they were the ones that were... Together, if that's what you want to call it. To me, it was more of an odd form of friendship, or perhaps just Andi and Jonah attempting to find out if they really belong together. Regardless, I knew they weren't a real couple. Not yet, at least.
The school day went by, ordinary as usual. By the time the final bell rang, I was bouncing with what was either nervousness or excitement. I was ready to spend some one-on-one time with Jonah, but more than that, I was afraid I was going to say something stupid, or worse, tell him.
Don't think like that Cyrus... It'll all be okay. I tried to tell myself, even though I really had a hard time believing it. I shook my head and began heading towards the Spoon, the thought of Jonah's smile invading my mind as I walked. I could feel myself grinning, and really couldn't stop myself. I was grinning like an idiot the entire way to the Spoon, but I didn't really care. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw him, causing my smile to widen and my heart to flutter.
Okay, Cyrus, you can do this... You can talk to him...
