History Together | Ronance

#00 prologue

"Do you remember what I said about click's class?"

I felt my voice begin to tremble so so I took a deep breathe as Steve looked at me expectantly.

"About me being jealous and like- obsessed"

He nodded "yeah"

"It isn't because I had a crush... On you"
"Its because she wouldn't stop staring at you"

"Mrs click?" He asks confused. What a dingus.

"Nancy Wheeler. I wanted her to look at me but she couldn't pull her eyes away from you and your...stupid hair"

The memories came back crystal clear of the years of pining and jealousy I'd built up. Yet I couldn't bring myself to actually be mad at Steve, he was my friend.

"And I didn't understand because you'd get bagel crumbs all over the floor. And you would ask STUPID questions and you where a douchebag!"

I was on the verge of tears and weirdly enough laughter. He looked at me like he was sorry and i knew he wasn't the person i had hated years ago.

"I would go home and just scream into my pillow"

"But Nance is a girl" his tone was matter of fact despite his face being creased with confusion.

"Steve..."

"Yah?" Oh Steve. I love you but just not like that. I sighed and waoted for him to catch on.
"Oh" oh indeed. "Holy shit" his head fell back and he leanded into the stall wall.

Silence.

"Steve did uh you OD over there?" I blinked the tears out my eyes and directed my eyes toward him only to find him smiling.

"No just thinking" My palms were sweating anticipating his reaction. This schmuck was the only person in this world I'd ever told.

After a small pause he lifted up his head "My ex" he smirked "What kind of a friend are you huh?" Obviously sarcasm but I couldn't help feel a twinge of guilt knowing he had loved Nancy. He looked directly at me and we broke out into laughter absolving all the tension left.

I finally had a friend I trusted enough to share this with and what were the odds I used to have a crush on his first love.
