"Hey Alice! You guys are sooooooo cute on insta!"
"Huh? What're you talking about?"
"You and Noah. I can't believe you guys are finally dating!"

 

"Hi, guys whats up?"
"..."
"What's up?"
"...We're mad at you, Alice. We can't believe you didn't tell us you were dating a senior."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Don't pretend like you don't know. Everyone saw you on insta yesterday."
"I seriously don't know. Is this some kind of joke?"
"Joke? Seriously?"
"..."
"Fine whatever. We'll see you later."

 

"Hey Jase."
"Alice, what's up?"
"People have been weird to me since this morning..."
"Did you ask why?"
"Yeah, they all said something about instagram and well, me and Noah. I have no idea what they're talking about."
"...Oh. That."
"You know what they're talking about?"
"Well, yeah. Everybody knows, I'm surprised you don't. You should ask Noah."

 

"Hi Alice!"
"Oh, Noah."
"What's up?"
"Nothing much..."
"..."
"Hey, Noah..."
"Yeah?"
"Are we dating?"
"Of course we are."
"Oh. Well, see you later. I have lit next."
"Bye..."

 

"Hey, Jase."
"What's up, man?"
"I don't know what's going on with Alice. She asked me whether or not we were dating."
"Noah... Did you talk to her yesterday?"
"Yes. That's why she's my girlfriend now."
"Okay, tell me exactly what you said."
"Well, she asked me how I was doing and I said I was fine. Then, she laughed and pulled at something in my hair, so I, well..."
"So, you never actually said, 'Let's go out?' "
"No, but it was implied... And she basically said yes."
"You're not going anywhere with that. You better make it clear with her."
"Clear..."

 

"JASE!"
"Erica, haven't seen you all day. Have you seen Alice?"
"No. I saw Noah though, I hope he works things out with her."
"Come here. I want to kiss you on the forehead."
"..."
"I love you."
"Me too."
"Let's hold hands to out next class."
"... Okay."

 

"Wait! Alice."
"What Noah?"
"About us dating... I-"
"You what?"
"I know I didn't make it clear enough yesterday. I thought that's what 'that' meant. So, I want to make it clear right now. Alice, will you go out with me?"
"..."
"Alice?"
"... Yes."

 

"Noah."
"Alice."
"So... we're a couple now?"
"Yeah, I guess so. For a minute there, I was so scared you were gonna say no."
"I wouldn't have."
"What?"
"I said I wouldn't have."
"Oh."
"Did you really think I would have said no after kissing you back yesterday?"
"I don't know. You seemed pretty confused this morning."
"I was just surprised."
"..."
"Let me make it clear now."
"..."
"By the way, what did you post on instagram?"
"Well..."
