I Like My Best Friend's Crush

Prologue

So you know that feeling when you have unintentional feelings for someone but you just can't help it? That's my situation right now. I would've been totally fine if it was just a normal crush but it isn't. My best friend likes the same guy! The truth is though, she liked him first.

I started liking him when we first kissed.

It was on New Year's Eve and it was only 10 seconds away from New Year's. I was counting with the crowd, "10, 9, 8, 7 ,6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEARS!" I felt a sudden pull and suddenly my lips came in direct contact with the strangers.

I closed my eyes because of how good the kiss feels, I kissed that person back, and I felt sparks between that person and me but then I remembered it was with a complete stranger! I opened my eyes and saw that I was kissing Jax Adams, the jock and player. I released from the kiss hesitantly but I had no other choice.

I'm popular and all but I'm not the type where I'm pretty, wears makeup, has minions, and is really bitchy. Sadly, we have that type of girl, her name is Stella Evans. I'm the type that's badass and all. I'm not exactly friends with her considering the last time we met.

I was getting my lunch, lasanga and beans. I walked to my table where Arabella sat and then I bumped into someone pouring my lunch all over them. I looked up and saw Stella aka Queen Bitch.

We never really talked since she hated Arabella because she was competition and she didn't want anything to do with her. She thought that I wasn't worth it because I'm not "pretty" enough so she doesn't bother me.

Her reaction was priceless. She had her mouth hanging open and looked furious. Everyone turned to us and their eyes widened at the sight of Stella.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS YOU LITTLE BITCH." She screamed.

"YOU JUST RUINED A THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF CLOTHES AND ANOTHER THOUSAND FOR MY PURSE." She said screaming.

I winced at how high her voice was. England could probably hear her. I stayed calm and collected and that made her even more furious. And then, she did the unthinkable, she slapped me. I touched my cheek and narrowed my eyes at her.

"Did you just fucking slap me." I said in a low threatening tone.

Her eyes widened with fear but then quickly covered it with smug.

She smirked, "Yeah, I did. What are you going to do about it?" Bitch.

When I heard the last word, I pounced on her and punched her nose. I heard a crack and she pulled my hair and clawed me with her fake nails. The principal came in and stopped us. We were both sent to his office and got a week long detention.

I smiled and remembered how funny that day was but then I also remembered that Jax was in front of me.

He looked at me with sad eyes wanting more. "Why were you just kissing me?" I asked. He probably thought I was another girl or something like that. "Why did you end the kiss?" He asked. "Usually girls would want more than just a kiss." He added on.

"Well, I'm not one of your "go-to sluts" so you can swerve your ass on outta here." I said snapping my fingers. "But, I've been thinking about you all night." He said his head looking down. "What?" I choked out. "I've liked you since fifth grade Avery, and I've been liking you but you never noticed." "Are you serious or are you just messing with me." I said. "Cuz if you're messing with me, I will beat your ass." I added on with a serious look.

"I'm actually serious." He said in a serious voice. "I would never think of you as a slut or a whore." He said. "Umm Thanks?" I said awkwardly. "But uhhh, I have to go to the pet shop to get my sister a..... Donkey!" I said running away. It was an obvious lie but I think I did a pretty good job so I patted myself on the back.

After that, I went home and texted Arabella about what happened. I forgot to tell her about the part where he said he liked me back. I decided to meet up with her and tell her tomorrow. She was pretty upset and she texted me saying that she liked him since the very first day she laid her eyes on him. I was then suddenly glad that I didn't tell her he liked me and I don't think I'm going to tell her anytime soon, that would break her fragile heart. We texted a bit more before saying good bye.

I wondered how I didn't notice it before, she always was stealing glances at his way since Jax and us never really hung out together.

I thought about him for a while and I remembered how I felt sparks when I kissed him. I gasped, "Oh shit, oh shit, Does this mean..... I like Jax?" It couldn't be true but then again I couldn't explain the sparks I felt.

But Arabella likes him, I can't just go behind her back and do shit that would hurt her. That's just wrong and Arabella would never do that to me and even if she did, I wouldn't do the same thing, I know that for a fact. I wanted to tell her that he liked me but she looks so happy whenever he's close to her. He doesn't even acknowledge her though, does he even know who she is? I thought about that for a moment and then laughed out loud. "That's impossible" I thought to myself.

I finally made my decision and decided not to tell her. I wasn't going to be that backstabbing friend that dates her crush behind her back. I was going to be that supportive friend whose going to help her friend live a happily ever after, even though those don't exist. I don't exactly believe in love but I believe in silly little crushes.

That's probably what it is, I have a silly little crush on Jax and it will go away soon. When I said I don't believe in love, I meant that I don't do love. But I believe in love for others such as Arabella and Jax. I will make Jax stop liking me and get over him somehow. It seems easy enough but then I realized it wasn't. This guy has been liking me since 5TH GRADE and he still does. I mean what's there to like about me, I'm just your average normal teenage girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Nothing too special.

Forget about me, lets talk about my beautiful best friend whose been there for me since 1st grade. Now she's something that every boy should talk about. She has gorgeous green eyes, beautiful silky golden blonde hair that any girl would die to have, light skin that makes her glow, and amazing long legs.

So why does Jax like me but not her? Does he not notice her? But how could you not notice Arabella?

Arabella deserves a happy life so I will try and do everything I can to get Jax and Arabella together. I'm not exactly great at being cupid so I needed all the help I could get.

So this is just the events that led up to the part where Avery is determined to get Jax and Arabella together. I'm not exactly the best author but votes and comments would be much appreciated :)
