Eighth grade... the best and worst year of my life. Probably the most emotional I should say. This is the year that I caught feelings for my best friend. Even though I promised myself I would never let it happen.

Y/n💛

Hey

I'm bored, u wanna go to the park with me???

I cant, Dylan wants to take me to the diner tonight

Then I'll have you home before then. What time are you going?

I can have you home at 4:30

You really wanna hang out don't you?

Is that a yes???

Come over so you can walk with me

Perfect
Cya in 5

We were on the swings talking when y/n got a text from Dylan.
"Seriously?!" She complains.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"He canceled on me. Again!"
"Does he do it often?"
"Yeah, like every time we have plans. It's fucking annoying."
"Honestly y/n, I feel like you should break up with him."
"What?!"
"I'm just saying, he's kind of like... a huge asshole"
"Well-"
"And if he's canceling last minute every single time you guys have plans, I don't think that's a good sign"
"Maybe you're right. But I really am trying to see the good in him you know? I really love him Finn, I really do."
"Y-you love him?" I ask, holding back tears
"Yeah! I do! I love him so much Finn it's crazy. And he's perfect for me, he's got blue eyes, blonde hair, a good sense of humor, and he's artistic. And last night we were up all night looking at the stars."
"Just like we used to" I say under my breath, but
y/n still heard me.
"What was that?"
"N-nothing."
"Finn, I heard what you said."
"Then why did you ask-"
"I-I don't know okay?"
"Look y/n don't get me wrong I'm so happy for you. But it feels like you're always spending time with Dylan. And you're always talking about him. And you guys do all of the things we used to but you act like he's the first one to do it. To be completely honest with you y/n, I'm kinda starting to feel like you're replacing me with him."
"Finn it's not like I'm trying to replace you it's just that me and Dylan are dating, and me and you are just friends. There's a huge difference."
"Oh uhm yeah... I get it."
"I'm sorry I made you feel that way though"
"N-no it's fine. Hey I have an idea, since you and Dylan were gonna go to the diner, how about I take you?"
"Finn that's really sweet but... I don't have any money on me."
"I do."
"Yeah but-"
"Y/n I really don't mind paying for you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah! Now come on!"

After about 10 minutes we made it to the diner.
"What can I get for you two?" Asked our waitress.
"Uhm... I'll just get a strawberry milkshake please" y/n says. God she's adorable. She's so polite.
"And for you sir?" The waitress asks me.
"I'll also have a strawberry milkshake and a basket of french fries to share."
I look back over and see y/n shoot me a quick smile.
"Alright I'll have that right out for you" she says before walking away.
"So what do you wanna talk about?" I ask.
"I dont know..." y/n says, "do you like anybody?"
Im obviously not gonna tell her.
"Uh no not really."
"Ugh. Boooorrringggggggg" She teases, smiling wide at me.
"Shut upppp."

Some time passes and our food finally arrives.
"Alright here you are, enjoy!" Our waitress says, placing our food on the table and walking away.

Some time after leaving the diner, it begins to get dark.
"Hey im probably gonna head home, its getting late." y/n says to me.
"Oh okay... do you want me to walk you home or anything?"
"Uhm I think im okay actually. Thanks though."
"Oh okay cool. Well I'll see you at school tomorrow y/n! bye!"
"Goodnight Finn!" she says smiling, before walking off.

I remember crying myself to sleep that night, thinking about all y/n had said about Dylan earlier that day. I barely got any sleep either, I couldnt stop thinking about the way she talks about him, with a huge smile on her face, wishing she talked about me like that, wishing she looked at me like that, wishing she loved me like that. God, I had no idea what was ahead...
