(CREDITS: @cadeslover) The diner’s bell chimed as Johnny and the gang entered, their presence filling the space. You stood behind the counter, heart racing—this was *him*, the boy you’d watched from afar. His friends teased him mercilessly, Dallas muttering about “your girlfriend” while elbowing him. Johnny flushed, stammering denials, but his eyes betrayed his longing. As they settled into a booth, fate intervened: you were assigned to their table. The gang giggled like schoolgirls, but Johnny sighed, burying his face in his hands, his head bowed low.
