TRISTA HAD arrived back in texas from her vacation. it was hours past midnight, so she didn't expect anyone to answer if she texted them. her mom gave her back her phone and the first thing she opened tiktok to was a screen recording of elyse and nelson's live.

"um what?!" trista thought out loud. she was currently in her room getting ready to take a shower, leaving all the unpacking for tomorrow.

she was shocked and a little jealous to see one of her kind of celebrity crushes and her best friend talking. she wasn't that surprised though and was happy for her, cause she knew elyse had a thing for curlyheads, more specifically curlyheaded blondes.

"omg heyyy" trista said excitedly at the view of her friend. elyse was currently sitting at her vanity, her hair in a messy bun, wearing an oversized t-shirt with the neckline cut off, and wearing her blue light glasses.

"hi" elyse said tiredly smiling back at trista. "okay so how was your vacation?"

"we can talk about my vacation later. TELL ME ABOUT YOU AND NELSON!" trista squealed.

elyse told her everything starting with the comments on her live about nelson to meeting him and becoming one of his best friends.

"aww you guys are so cute together" trista said. elyse furrowed her eyebrows at this.

"what do you mean by that?" elyse asked with confusion in her face.

"your relationship?" she replied in a tone that said 'obviouslyyy'.

"oh we're not dating." she replied with an unnoticeable frown on her face while she fixed her glasses.

"wait what?! i watched all of the videos-" trista said scrunching up her face in confusion as elyse cut her off.

"no, no, no, we were just doing things to freak cam out!" elyse responded.

"ugh he better hurry up and ask you out already" trista said annoyed.

"you better tell him that" elyse chuckled.

A COUPLE DAYS LATER nelson decided to ask his friends to hang out at his house. he invited his friends, jax and cameron over.

they were currently outside jumping around on the trampoline 1v1ing each other on the mini hoop.

"so nelson, when were you planning to tell us about elyse?" jax asked trying to spark up a conversation.

"yeah we seen those videos and edits about yall." cameron added while dunking on jax.

"he's getting rizzy" jax laughed.

"ohh uh it's not like that but uh yeah she's my girl best friend you know" nelson mumbled while a slight blush covered his cheeks.

"hm okay" jax said while he and cameron gave each other a look saying 'he needs to cut the bs already'.

time skip

"so what yall wanna do now?" nelson asked the group as they walked inside the kitchen.

jax and cameron secretly planned something while nelson was on his phone, so they shared a look with each other knowing this was the perfect time to put it to the test.

"oh! let's play truth or dare!" cameron exclaimed after a moment of silence.

"sure" "yeah im down" nelson and jax replied in unison.

"alright i'll go first" cameron said. "jax truth or dare?"

"truth" "are you talking to anyone?" "..."

"bro cmon answer" nelson said playfully shoving him in the arm.

"alright yes, but i'm not saying her name" jax said as a smile broke out on his face.

"that's valid" cameron commented as they teased him about the newfound information.

"okay i choose nelson next." jax said. "nelson, truth or dare?"

"dare" nelson said with a smirk on his face.

"i dare you to confess to elyse!" jax exclaimed as cameron high-fived him.

nelson looked at them in shock immediately regretting choosing to do a dare.

"chop chop buddy" cameron said impatiently while grabbing nelson's phone.

"bro come onnnn" nelson whined.

cameron soon pulled up elyse's contact and gave the phone back to nelson.

"you have to do it. it's truth or dare!!" jax said shoving nelson in the arm.

nelson covered his face with his hands, nervous about what was about to happen, though he has considered confessing his feelings for a while now.

"alright, i'll do it, but can i please get some privacy?" nelson asked knowing they'd eavesdrop from the other room.

"gotchu bro" cameron replied shoving jax out to the kitchen with him.

NERVOUSLY, NELSON PRESSED the call button. on the second ring, she answered.

"hey nels! what's up?" elyse asked.

nelson hesitated unsure how elyse would react.

"hello???"

"uh hey, i needa talk to you."

"mhm, what is it? are you okay?"

"yeah... i just need to get something off of my chest real quick. please promise this won't change anything."

standing in the doorway, jax and cameron rolled their eyes at this and silently commented "cmon dude" and "are you stupid?". it was very visible that the two had feelings for each other.

"nelson. you can tell me anything."

nelson takes a breath, millions of thoughts swarming through his head.

"elyse, we've known each other for a while now and... and i think i've gained feelings for you. i really, really like you elyse" nelson stuttered.

immediately regretting agreeing to the dare, nelson panicked "if you don't wanna be friends anymore or you're uncomfortable i completely understa-"

"nelson! nelson calm down. i really like you too! i love spending time with you and i would never want to lose you or our friendship or whatever it is." elyse confessed.

the two sat in a comfortable silence unsure of what to do next. you could practically feel their smiles shining through their phones.

"so... wanna hang out tomorrow?" nelson asked nervously

"HEY WE WERE SUPPOSED TO-" said a voice from elyse's side of the call before she muted herself.

"wait what hello? is someone with you right now?" nelson asked confused.

"sorryyy that was trista. of course i'd love to hang out!" elyse said after fighting trista behind the muted phone.

"oh alright see ya tomorrow"

"bye nelson"

they were blushing and smiling so hard, their faces hurt.

"damn you're so rizzy teach us your ways" cameron joked.

"oh my gosh you guys are basically dating what the hell" trista squealed.

"oh my goodness im so nervous for tomorrow you should help me pick out an outfit" elyse begged.

trista smiled "of coursee".
