Rewrite the Stars (Felix FF) Chapter 37

Felix’s Pov:

“So, what happened last night between you and Zoey?” My mother asked.

“We only watched Coco,” I responded

“You sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure,”

“You didn’t put any moves on her?”

I paused for a second, then shook my head.

“That was a lengthy pause, Felix. You’re lying,” She said.

“No. I’m not,”

She gave me the ”Sweety. You better tell me the truth or you’re grounded” face.

“Ok, we watched Coco, kissed her and called her beautiful. But it was a quick one. Nothing big. Happy?” I stated.

“Ew, too much information,” I heard my sister butt in

“When did you get here?” I asked.

“Just now. So what happened after?”

“It got awkward, and she left,”

“Ah, I my first kiss,” My mom said

“UGH,” Olivia and I said in unison

“Hey, it was awkward for me as well. It’s completely normal,”

“It was fine for me,” Olivia said

Mom and I turned our heads slowly toward her direction.

“Huh?” Mom said

“Who?”

“When?”

“How?” Mom and I said in unison

“Um, Felix, I need a ride to class,”

“I’ll take you, as soon as you tell us,”

Zoey’s Pov:

Rachel came over to my house to have breakfast with me. Everyone ate upstairs beside us. We were watching a random show that we weren’t paying attention to it at all.

“You guys kissed?” Rachel asked.

“Huh?”

“You and Felix. You guys kissed?”

“Oh, um. Yeah, we did, but it was nothing big whatsoever,”

“Aww, my child had her first kiss!” She said while hugging me. “Did you guys it to your love for each other?”

“Yeah, no, we didn’t,” I said while pushing her off of me. “That’s so cheesy,”

“Ugh, you need to tell him how you feel,”

“I don’t think that will happen. Not for a long time,”

“Why?”

“You know that I can’t do shit like that,”

“Why?”

“You know why,”

“Both of you guys are just afraid,”

“Afraid of what?”

“Afraid to tell each other how you feel,”

“Well, we aren’t you and Jisung,”

“You got that right. Well, try to ask him out on a date,”

“I don’t know how I feel about that,”

“The worst he can say is no,”

“But...”

“No, but’s, Zoe. Just do it,”

“What are we going to do, anyway? There’s nothing to do here,”

“Go to the movies, bowling, the arcade at the bowling alley, go to the diner. There are many options here. You just have to be creative and smart with your options, Zoe,”

“Ok, I’ll try,”

“Good. I have to go. I have to get groceries for my house,” She stood up to walk herself out the door.

“Ok,” I stood up to walk her out.

“Let me know how it went,”

“Yeah, yeah. See you later,” I said while opening the door.

“Bye,” She said, while walking out of the door.

“Bye,”

I closed the door, turned around, and slid down the door.

I sighed. Oh, what am I going to do?

After Creative Writing Class

After class, I waited for Felix with Olivia.

“So, you kissed my brother at my house last night?” She asked.

“H-huh?” I stuttered

“You kissed Felix?”

“Yes?”

“Up-top!” She said while reaching up for a high five.

“Why am I giving you a high five?” I said while softly slapping her hand while weakly smiling. “Shouldn’t you be mad at me?”

“No. Not at all. Why do you think that?”

“No reason,”

“Ok,”

I sat on the bench and she sat right next to me.

“So, are you guys official?” She asked.

I comprehended what she was saying.

“Um, no. We’re not,”

“Oh, that sucks,”

“Meh,”

A few minutes of awkward silence later, Felix arrived.

“Well, your ride’s here,” I stated

“Yeah. Are you going to talk to him?”

“Yeah, I have to ask him something,”

“Ok, I’ll wait right here,”

“You don’t have to,”

“I don’t want to get in your business,”

“Ok, I’ll be talking to him for a minute,”

“Ok, I’ll be right here,”

“Ok,”

I walked up to Felix’s car and knocked on his window. He looked at me, smiled, and waved at me. He lowered his window and asked: “Hey, Zoe. What’s up?”

“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask you something,”

“Cool,”

“So, I was just wondering. Um. If you would. Um. Go out to the movies with me?”

He stared at me. “Like a date? An actual one?” He asked. I nodded my head.

“Yeah, sure. Uh, we can say that,”

He stared at me a little more.

“I understand if you...” I started to, but he interrupted me.

“Yeah, I- I’ll g-go with you,” I cracked a smile.

“Are you available later on today?”

“Um, yeah. I pick you up at 6:30-ish,”

“Ok, sweet. I’ll get Olivia,”

“Ok, cool,”

“Ok,”

I flagged her down, and she ran to the car safely.

“Well, see you later,” I said

“Yeah,”

I walked away from his car to walk to mine.

Well, that worked. Wait, did he said that he’ll... Oh, this won’t go too well.
