(Of course I can start it!)
Olive got off her bus, it was already cold in the morning. She crossed her arms over her chest to try to stop the shivering. Looking around, she saw her best friend and recent crush, Ana. She followed the crowd of high school kids to the school doors, which was where Ana was. A smile appeared on Olive's face as she approached the other. "Good morning~!"
(thanks!!)
Ana glanced around at the voice of her best friend and smiled softly. "Hey, why are you shivering? It's not even cold?" She raised her eyebrows at Olive, offering her hoodie to her.
"You're kidding, right? It's freezing!" Olive said as she took Ana's hoodie. She quickly put it on, smiling afterward. It smelled like Ana, which was great to Olive, and it was the super warm one as well.
"It's been like this for the past week, I've…adapted.." Ana paused, eyes trained on a slightly smaller girl with jet black hair. She nodded at the girl, making her blush and smile in Ana's direction as she hurried away to her locker. Ana kept her gaze on the girl, a calm look of curiosity on her face.
Olive snapped her head back her messy curls bouncing, too late since the girl had left to her locker. She looked back at Ana, confused. "What was that?" She asked with confusion in her voice.
“Do you know that girl?” Ana asked, blowing air out with a light huff. “Doesn’t matter, she’s cute. I’m going to talk to her. I’ll see you in English.” She added bluntly, shoving her hands in her pockets and beginning to walk away towards the girl.
Olive nodded and sighed as Ana left to talk to the girl. She didn't want to be in either of their ways so she just left o class, way before everyone else got there. She lied her head down in her arms on her desk.
Ana found the girl and talked with her until the first bell rang, acquiring her name and number. She grabbed her things for English and walked smugly into the room, taking her usual seat behind Olive, smirking silently at her phone as the other kids milled around talking.
Olive saw Ana come in the classroom with a smug look on her face. She turned around to see Ana on her phone. "So did you talk to her?" She asked, with a trace of sadness in her voice.
“Yup.” She popped the ‘p’, glancing up from her phone for a second to answer Olive. “I don’t know why I’ve never noticed her before. She’s my type too.”
"Um, what's her name? I haven't noticed her before either…" Olive glanced to the front of the room to see if the teacher was there. She was but she hadn't started class yet.
“Madeline. She’s a year below us so we don’t have a lot of classes with her.” Ana said, slipping her phone into her pocket and finally looking up at Olive. “Any secret crushes you want to tell me about?”
"Nah, I would have told you about it already if I had one." Olive smiled at Ana. She was always good at hiding crushes. She could always convince people that she didn't have one even if she did. "Well, you have good taste, usually, so I bet she'll be great." She said, hiding her disappointment.
“You never have crushes anymore.” Ana sighed. What was the fun in having a girlfriend if she couldn’t go on double dates with Olive and hers and get ready with Olive beforehand. Or get to tease Olive about how awkward she was around girls, even though it was kind of cute.
"I know… I guess no one's really caught my eye recently. And I'm physically unable to approach people like you do." She had always wanted to have a girlfriend and have Ana give her advice and help. And go on double dates. And gush to Ana about how amazing her girlfriend was. But as of more recently, the only person taking up her mind was Ana. She wanted to go on dates with her and hold her.
“Mm..we should work on that.” Ana muttered, taking her things out as the teacher began the class.
Olive nodded and turned to the front. The teacher started the class and Olive absent-mindedly wrote 'notes' in her notebook. Ana, like always, was in her thoughts.
Ana diligently took notes in most of her classes throughout the day. She used to not care about school but the last couple years had made her realize she actually wanted a future.
The final bell rang after hours of boring classes and Ana stood up, stretching and turning to Olive. “Do you want ice cream?” She asked, picking up her bag.
"Obviously, ice cream is a dessert of the gods." Olive stood up as well, groaning as she picked her backpack that was overly heavy. She slung it on her shoulders and turned to Ana.
“Okay then, weirdo.” Ana snorted quietly, smiling softly, something that only happened around Olive. Why would she smile for anyone else? They didn’t deserve it.
She walked to her locker and grabbed a couple things before heading out towards the parking lot, glancing behind her to check that Olive was still behind her.
Olive giggled and followed Ana to the lockers then the parking lot. "You should totally let me drive because I definitely have my license." She said jokingly. Her parents hadn't let her get her permit until the was 16 and she was still taking driver's ed.
“Yeah if I want to get my car totaled.” Ana laughed softly, shaking her head. “Leave the driving to me.”
She climbed into the drivers seat and handed Olive her phone. “Pick some music. Make it good though.” She said, pulling out of the parking lot.
Olive smiled. "Oh you know better than to let me pick the music. Remember the last time you let me pick the music?" She was recalling the memory. She always tried to find the strangest songs she could. Sometimes it wasn't even music.
“I have to have some hope, don’t I? Try to be normal for once and pick some good music.” Ana always said that but she loved how strange Olive could be sometimes. It made her laugh.
"Hmmm, okay… let's see here." Olive smiled as she looked for some music. She remembered some music her sister liked and decided to play it. She chose one song. It started playing through the car. She had never heard it before herself, but her sister loved it so why not try it?
