We met on the second day of school.
My school only started this year and so everyone was new. I was lost in a sea of faces PLUS I had moved away from home to go to this school so I was very lost at both home and school.
The second day of school I was supposed to be helping out with setting up chairs for our school's official opening... but I was lost. Low and behold he appeared carrying a chair and led the way.
He asked me to sit with him at lunch, I gratiously accepted. He was in five of my classes, we became fast friends.
Months passed, we got to know each other and not once did I think about him as anything but a great friend - which he was ... everyday.
I went through a major crush on a boy at school and while our other friends egged me on and mocked me accordingly, he remained silent.
People always asked if we were going out... 'No' I replied 'Just best friends'
Everytime I looked at him, I got a brilliant smile in return - What a great friend I thought.
We had the most amazing conversations - What a great friend I thought.
Then they told me - He likes you... ;-)
How did I feel? My best friend... hmm?
No I thought I couldn't LIKE him... and yet...
Every touch set me on fire. Every conversation gave me that fuzzy feeling.
Hanging at his house one day we lay on his bed talking...
He held my hand - we kept talking.
He moved in next to me - we kept talking.
I put my face next to his - we kept talking.
He kissed me - Talking ceased.
I learnt two things that day - I liked him - kissing him, talking to him, everything - and...
I apparently have soft lips.
It was my first kiss... my only kiss... And it was good.
We talked about it later... he said he thought we shouldn't date because it would be awkward for our other best friend... and I agreed... nervous and unsure - it probably would be...
But I wanted to...
Talking to her at a later time she said she'd be okay with it... but I discovered something...
He'd kissed her too.
An incredibly drunken kiss... which he barely remembered ... but still
Here I am a few weeks from then...
He says he doesn't want to date anyone right now because school is too stressful... which at our school - my god it is!
I don't know how to take it... I mean it sounds like a cop out - to not hurt my feelings... but...
He's still so normal. We laugh and hang - still the best of friends...
I don't know what to do...
In love with my best friend...
