Not Just One

Chapter One- Brayden

        "Bro, we made it!" My best friend Mitch yells high-fiving me.

        It was only 5 minutes after graduating. It already felt like a million years. Mitch went up to kiss his beautiful girlfriend and I was stuck alone, waiting for my family to get to me.

        I take a quick glance at Clair. I Knew I stood no chance with her. But it was always nice to dream.

        "Brayden, just the man I was looking for." A familiar voice laughs behind me.

        "Oh hey, Gwen." I laugh, turning around. "What do you need?"

        "Well first we made it Brayden. You doubted us. But I heard your friend Will is having a party and I kinda find him hot and I was just wondering if you were going?" She blushes.

        "I was thinking about stopping by. But since you like him I might go now and tell him." I tease.

        She shoves me and I embrace her. "Tell him and I tell Clair." She smirks.

        "Fine. We're even." I respond feeling my cheeks burn.

        She laughs and leaves. And as she goes back to her family she calls over her shoulder, "Text me so we can discuss some plans."

        I nod and smile.

        Gwen had been like my sister since we were little. She fell in love with my good friend Will, and I fell in love with her best friend Clair.

        I knew that I needed to make my move. Tonight. At the party.

        I scan the clusters of people searching for Will. I had to tell him there was a change of plans. I was going to be coming.
