A (not so) Normal Life of Best Friends

Chapter 15: Feelings Given, Taken to Heart

Alex Brookson

I have Scout on my shoulders and he seems comfortable. He just passed out after confessing to me. The Truth is, I'm really happy right now. No wonder his face got so red when he was close to me. I don't know whether to start crying or blush more. He was so nice from the first day I met him. He doesn't flirt with me about my body and he doesn't try to grab me everytime I walk with the group. He just seems to be a regular male, but maybe it was more. Maybe it was me that made him more like this. I felt tears falling down my face and dripping off of my face. I've never felt this happy before. I wanna tell him something, but I don't know if I should tell him right now or if I should wait til we're out of here.

I'm still on her shoulders and I don't think she's letting me down anytime soon. I guess we can just make the animal features show and disappear at will, because mine and hers aren't showing right now. I haven't told anyone this. Not even Evelyn, but....whenever I'm around Alex and I see her smile, it makes me feel better. I don't want to scare anyone by telling them how I struggle with depression. Always getting bullied made me feel alone and like I wasn't wanted around. But, my friends make me feel positive even when I feel that I shouldn't be. Alex smiling is what makes me feel the happiest, knowing that she can be positive even with her past makes me feel positive that I can BE positive. Suddenly, I felt her pick me up, which made me jolt in surprise. "Scout, can I tell you something?..." she asked, her face was gathering to a red color. "Yeah, what is it?" I answered with another question. "Well..." she started, but stopped making me concerned. Before I could say anything though...

~Smooooch~

Our lips were put together. SHE'S KISSING ME! Oh my gosh, my face feels hot! Why is she doing this, I don't understand! This is Insane! I think I'm gonna-

Alex Brookson

Well, he passed out again, but it did feel better to finally express my feelings to him. He hasn't changed much since we met and I still think he's adorable. So, I guess I have to carry him again, not a problem, not at all.
