November 19th, 6:38p.m.
I stared at Eric on the ground for a few seconds.
"You- you-" Was all I could manage to stutter out.
"Yes Hailey. I like you." He stood up. "I have since I first came here. I know it may sound cliche but... it was like love at first sight." He smiled down at me.
Wow. I would have never guessed. I mean looking back I probably should have but-
I could feel the anger radiating off of Blake from behind me.
"I guess I'll leave you two alone then." He mumbled as he walked past me, purposely bumping Eric with his shoulder.
"Blake-"
"Let him go Hailey. He just needs to cool off."
I looked up at him before looking back at Blake's retreating figure.
"The last time I let him 'just cool off' we ended up not talking for two weeks." I went to walk around him to go after Blake but he put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.
"But what about-"
I cut him off. "We can talk later. I'm not losing my best friend again." I said sternly.
He simply nodded and shifted out of my way.
~|Another time skip cuz I'm babysitting and I have to type fast|~
"Blake!" I called out to him. I was jogging to try and catch up. "Blake come on!" I pleaded. I finally caught up and stood in front of him.
He just looked up at the ceiling trying to keep his calm.
"What Hailey?" He looked down at me, clearly angry.
"Hey! It's not like I agreed to go out with him! I trust your instincts I really do! Why do you think I've been so close to him all the time?"
Blake went from mad to shocked in a split second. "W-what?"
"I'm pretty much the only one who has an almost guaranteed chance of being able to take him down if he goes rouge. You really thought I would just disregard what you told me just because he's cute?" Again. The tears. Always the damn tears. What is wrong with me?
"...You really think that low of me..?"
"No Hai... of course I don't it's just-"
"It's just what? Oh don't tell me YOU want to ask me out too!" I was very annoyed at this point. I couldn't tell you specifically why. It was just how I was feeling.
Blake paused. Why did he pause?
"Blake..?"
"Right! Uh- yeah- I mean no! No I obviously don't... wanna date you... obviously..." He stuttered out.
"Well that was... convincing." I stared up at him clearly skeptical.
"Look even if that's the case, if you were just keeping an eye on him, I know you. And I can see how you act around him. You may not have realized it yet but you've fallen for him." He looked down at his feet. "You may not have agreed to go out with him but..." He hesitated. "You should. You'd be happy. I know it."
I stared at him in shock. I turned around to look back at were I had just come from, seeing Eric standing there. I looked up at Blake, a huge smile spread across my face. I jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Thank you Blake!"
I ran back to Eric and told him I'd go out with him.
Little did I know Blake, one of the toughest people I know, had tears brimming in his eyes at the sight.
