part twenty one : real life

Willow was a bit confused. One minute Eddie acts so sweet and wins her a squishmallow at the arcade, and the next he's commenting 'sick' on her Instagram post and nothing else. But she was not about to let her feelings ruin the excitement of today. Today was the student meeting for the senior trip to Paris next week.

They got to pick their own tour groups, minimum of 6 people. So far they only had 5, Willow, Robin, Vickie, Nancy, and Fred. Willow looked across at the room full of students to find their 6th member. She spotted Eddie looking around trying to find a group.

"I should invite him to be in our group shouldn't I?" she asked Robin.

"Group consensus, Eddie Munson aka Willow's kinda sorta boyfriend?" Robin asked the group.

Willow rolled her eyes. Everyone nodded. Willow sighed and walked up to Eddie.

"Hey man," she said pretty awkwardly.

"Hey," Eddie just smiled at her.

"Do you need a group? Because we only have 5 right now."

"'We' as in?"

"Robin, Nancy, Fred, Vickie, and I."

Nancy, Eddie thought. The person that Willow used to have a massive crush on and for all he knows still does. But he doesn't really have much of a choice here unless he wants to be paired with some random group.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to be overstepping."

"We all agreed on asking you," she gave him her best endearing smile.

Eddie nodded and Willow grabbed his hand, dragging him over to the group.

"Everyone, this is Eddie. Eddie, this is everyone," Willow introduced him.

Robin gave Eddie the silent 'what's up', Vickie smiled and waved, and Nancy and Fred simply smiled in his direction before going back to their conversation. Robin was talking with Vickie which left only Eddie and Willow.

"So...are you excited about the trip?" she asked. She didn't know why she felt so awkward around him all of a sudden.

"Yeah actually. It's my first time getting to go on the senior trip since I'm actually on track to graduate this year. You?" Eddie replied with a question of his own.

"Totally! I've always wanted to go to Paris," she beamed.

"Really? Paris doesn't really seem like something you'd be into."

"Come on, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, crepes!"

Eddie chuckled at Willow's burst of excitement. Her cheeks reddened from embarrassment.

"I'm just excited, is all," she said almost under her breath.

"Hey," Eddie put a hand on her shoulder, "I wasn't laughing at you because I think it's stupid I was laughing at you because I think it's cute when you get excited about stuff."

Willow smiled lightly and turned back to Robin and Vickie.

What was happening to her?
