realisation
Janis. She was all she could think about recently. Like yes they made amends, but that doesn’t mean she likes her back. She needs to tell someone before she bursts! Maybe Damian would know what to do, he's a trustworthy, non-judgemental person and he knows Jan. She texts Damian telling him she needs to tell him something important later via FaceTime because it’s that good, but that she needs to first finish her homework and mentally prepare herself to him she's in love with their best friend. Of course she didn’t put that last part down, but she was thinking about it.
~a few hours later~
“Damian, could I tell you the thing now?” she asked.
“Sure sweetheart!” he replied.
“You promise not to tell anyone or get weird?” she questioned.
“Yes, we've gone over this already! Now tell me before I die from curiosity” he stated over-dramatically whilst pretending to faint.
“IthinkIlikeJanis” she blurted out swiftly.
“I can't hear you, slow down!” he exclaimed.
“I think I like Janis” she said again, but this time at a normal pace.
“Oh congrats! You’re like the last person to find out!” he said while grinning.
“What do you mean?” She questioned anxiously.
“Last weekend when we had the pool party at your home, you were staring at Janis in her bikini like she was a tall glass of ice water when you’re dehydrated, I'm pretty sure even your own mother noticed” he joked.
“Please! I'm not that obvious.” She stated bluntly.
“The only reason Janis doesn’t know is because she’s so oblivious and too busy being heart eyes around you!” he stated while cackling wildly.
“Damian! It's not a joke, this is serious! Besides, there’s no way she could like me!” she exclaimed.
“Trust me she does.” He said.
“How do you know?! I ruined her life!” she asked loudly.
"Because! Because I just know! Ok?!” he exclaimed.
“If you’re so sure then what should I do?” she asked nervously.
"Tell her!” he exclaimed excitedly.
“I’ve been waiting for this my entire life! Finally someone is going to court Janis!” he said while grinning.
“You’ve really been waiting for Janis to get a girlfriend?” she questioned.
“Yesss! What are you planning on doing?” he said.
“I don’t know. Got any ideas?” She asked, while googling how to ask someone out.
"I know!” he said excitedly, “As big a introvert she is, she loves romantic gestures and prom is coming up!”
“What are you suggesting? A promposal?” she asked.
“Yes! That’s exactly what I'm thinking of!” he said, “How about we bring the gang over to discuss ideas?”
“Ok! Coolness.” She said, while writing down ideas.
