‘The sound I made when I saw the picture with the text ‘I love you’ was inhuman’, ‘I’m going to fall apart from this’,

‘Kit Connor’s sad/worried face. I’m not ready for the beach scene yet,’; ‘ummmmmm is the second pic of Nick and Charlie what I think it is??? wet hair Nick in a sweatshirt????’;

“It’s like they’re saying, ‘Hey, remember when we left you on that cliffhanger? Well, here’s a sneak peek to tide you over until the new season comes out!'”

The 22-year-old pop star showed off her unmistakable vocals, which can be heard in the clip.

The clip ends with the release date of the third season of the British romantic comedy-drama series, which is October 3.

The clip opens with Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) practicing how to tell Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) he loves him, when his sister Tori (Jenny Walser) catches him.

Tori can’t believe Charlie hasn’t said those three words yet, to which he replies, “I don’t want him to have to say the awkward ‘I love you too’ because he feels obligated to.”

His sister thinks Nick feels the same way and she urges him to say it today.

Charlie walks over to Nick and they look at each other flirtatiously.

Despite his sister’s advice, he visibly stiffens as he says, “I… have never seen you in a vest before.”

Nick jokingly replies, “Well, I’ve never seen you wear a cap before.”

The two laugh some more before walking away together.

The synopsis for the upcoming season reads: ‘Charlie wants to tell Nick that he loves him. Nick also has something important to say to Charlie.

As summer vacation ends and the months fly by, the friends begin to realize that the school year will bring both joys and challenges.

“As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and celebrations, and begin to think about college choices, everyone must learn to lean on the ones they love when life doesn’t go according to plan.”

The series was created and written by Alice Oseman, who also wrote the book series of the same name, and will be directed by Andy Newberry in the upcoming season.

Actors William Gao, Yasmin Finney, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Tobie Donovan, Rhea Norwood and Leila Khan also return to the series.
