"Y/N!!" shareef screamed excitedly from his car.  i smiled and did a little dance as he recorded me walking up to his car.

this was a routine we did every time he came to pick me up, something that was special to us as friends.

friends.

i really didn't like that word when it was used to describe shareef and i. not because he wasn't my friend, he's my best friend , of course. its because i wanted to be more than his friend, i would rather the words "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" be used.

i feel like everyone knew that, except him apparently. i knew he had it constantly put in his ear though. from our friends, family, and followers combined. that's why i ultimately pushed it aside. if he still didn't get the memo, he was ignoring it.

"where do you wanna go?" he asked me.

"doesn't matter to me." i said, already hiding my smile as he smacked his teeth.

i knew he would get fake upset. that had also become a routine. he picks me up with no plan in mind, asks me what i want to do, and i have no idea also. we always figure it out.

"how about this." he paused and looked at me for a while.

after i while i scrunched my face up and bent my neck to the side, "say it! what are you waiting for , the day don't last forever."

"let me take you out."

"was that not the plan?"

"y/n, you know what i mean. let me take you out as more than friends, or atleast let me take you out and you can classify it as what you please. if not , that's fine. just give me a chance."

or maybe he wasn't ignoring the memo.

"are you serious?" i slightly squinted my eyes. i wanted to make sure he was sure before i made a fool of myself.

"yes, if you don't wanna go that's fine. you know, i'd hate to mess up our friendship more than anything in the world. but i really do have strong feelings for you. sorry for being so blunt and random , but that's true. i'm tired of hiding them. the only way i'd want this friendship to be over is if," he pointed his finger between us, "it progressed into a relationship. so?"

"of course i'll let you take me on a date, shareef!" i smiled, showing my teeth. "don't worry, i have feelings for you too."

he smiled back at me. i loved his smile so much. "let's go to the arcade. it's our chill spot and we haven't been in so long."

"that sounds like a great idea, let's go." since it was already getting darker, the arcade was still open of course, but most of the smaller kids were gone and now it's all teens and young adults, which were much more sufferable than snotty,crying, sick toddlers.
