KJ Apa // Smug Friends
962 Words
[Y/N] playfully rolled her eyes as she walked past KJ and Cole repeatedly singing her name. Jumping over the back of the couch of the school lounge room set, she nestled next to Lili and Camila.
Lili looked over her shoulder, smirking as KJ pouted that [Y/N] ignored him. Turning back around, she bumped into her shoulder. "Girl, he's hooked."
Scoffing, [Y/N] shook her head. "I think you're delirious."
Camila spoke up, snorting. "No, you're delirious if you can't see it."
"KJ doesn't like me," [Y/N] said sternly, c*****g a brow at the two girls she would consider her best friends. It had been a complete and total whirlwind since she joined the Riverdale cast and she appreciated everyone who welcomed her into warm arms. "He's just being KJ."
Camila leaned back onto the couch, smirking. "I mean normally yes we'd agree but come on, [Y/N]. KJ has been up your butt since day one. Borderline obsessed, borderline a mess."
Lili agreed, "KJ's friendly but not that friendly." Scrolling through his i********: she pulled up a picture that he had posted a few days ago of himself and [Y/N] at a cute little cafe the group of them had gone to for lunch. "I'm quoting this word for word since you're a grandma and haven't made an i********: yet." She rolled her eyes but it was clear by her laugh that it was not meant to be taken any other way but playfully. Clearing her throat, she started to read, "'Friends are great to have, especially ones that are this pretty'" Looking at [Y/N], she quirked a brow with that famous Lili smirk across her lips, "And I should mention the amount of heart shaped eyes emoji's he put after that is a little excessive but I'm not judging."
[Y/N] squinted her eyes, gently taking Lili's phone from her hands, she needed to see it for herself. Chewing on her lip, she looked up at Lili and Camila's smug faces. "KJ thinks all of us are pretty, you know that."
Camila groaned while she too rolled her eyes. "Okay, give me a second." Quickly searching through KJ's twitter, she pulled up a boomerang video of KJ videoing [Y/N] up close with the flash on while she rolled her eyes and smiled. "I do believe this caption states, 'Those eyes and smile though' and look, another excessive amount of heart shaped eye emoji."
Standing up, [Y/N] gave them a slightly stern look. "I promise you, he doesn't like me."
"And we promise you, he does." Camila countered. "Big time, too. We've been with KJ long enough to know that he's got the love bug bad."
"Real bad." Lili chimed in, smirking.
Camila crossed her legs, blinking a million times. "You also can't argue with the fans either. They ship you two a lot. I've seen some really cute tribute videos."
Lili nodded, looking over at Camila she pointed randomly. "Oh yeah! I really like the one where they used that super cute James Arthur song-"
"-you two are mental." [Y/N] shook her head and walked away. Walking over towards the table where they had coffee and snacks set up for everyone. She poured herself a coffee and about had a heart attack when she heard KJ say her name from behind her. "Jesus!"
"Oh, s**t. I didn't mean to scare you!" KJ placed a warm hand on her shoulder, his face completely apologetic.
Chuckling, she took a deep breath and shrugged. "It's okay, but damn, you need some bells or something."
Taking his hand off of her shoulder, he ran it through his hair. "Yeah, ha, I'll get on that." KJ bit his lip, "So, uh, want to go grab lunch or something?"
"Sure," empty a few sugar packets into her cup, she looked at him sideways, "are they coming too?"
"Oh, uh, well, uh." KJ stumbled over his words, something he usually never did.
Raising a brow, [Y/N] looked at him with a confused look. "You okay, KJ? You're acting a bit strange."
"Yeah, I'm fine, great actually...." KJ closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, he had rehearsed this ten times better in his head. Taking a deep breath, he finally opened his eyes and went for it. "Okay, listen. So, uh, I turned out liking you a lot more than I originally planned and I've been trying really hard to ignore these feelings but you make it so damn hard. I love our friendship and it's something that I will cherish forever but I have to know if you feel the same or at least somewhat because I can work with the somewhat and if you don't, I just hope I didn't ruin us being friends-"
"-KJ," [Y/N] interrupted, shaking her head while smiling. "Slow down." Using her free hand, she grabbed his arm gently. "I like you too."
"What? Really? You do? That's great, I mean." He cleared his throat and tried to act nonchalant.
[Y/N] was about to respond but she could see Lili and Camila behind him giving her their smug smirks and quirked brows. Narrowing her eyes at them, she had to fight back a laugh when they both turned on their heel and scurried in the other direction.
KJ noticing that she was looking at something behind, turned slightly just in time to see his friends running off. "What was that about?"
Returning her attention, she shook her head. "Nothing, um, did you say something about lunch?"
Smiling, he nodded. "Yeah, do you want to get some?"
"You spoke the magic words." [Y/N] mimicked his smile and motioned for him to lead the way. "After you."
