"Serenity"

My eyes widened in shock. No, he must be joking, she's one of my best friends, she wouldn't do this.

"Wha-what?" I stuttered, still finding it hard to believe, but he seems like he's telling the truth. How will I know?!

"It was Serenity who I saw with your diary, but that's not all."

We both stopped at the bottom of my street where I turn off.

"Here, come have a drink with me at McDonalds, I'll explain everything there."

Ok, so my all-time big crush since primary school just asked me to have a drink with him, ofcourse I'm going to say yes!

"Yeah, ok..." I don't want to make it obvious but I'm pretty sure the diary pages covered that anyway.

........

"I'll take a Chocolate Frappe please and she'll have..." Harry turned to me and gestured for me to order.

"Uh, I'll have a caramel frappe thanks." I pulled out my purse while Harry confirmed the order. I placed my money on the counter but before the lady at the register could take it, Harry scooped it up and put it back in my hand so I placed it back on the counter. Again, he scooped it up and put it in my hands. Ok, he's really pissing me off now. I tried again but this time he blocked me off completely so I couldn't put the money on the counter.

"Harry, what are you doing? Let me pay for my drink!"

He turned back around and payed for the drinks.

"Harry! Why'd you do that?! I have my money right here!"

"No, Zafira, I'll pay, I invited you here so I'll just pay."

I hesistated for a second, thinking of a way that I could give the money to the lady but it was no use.

"Fine."

"Good, you go find a seat while I wait for the drinks." He ordered me, happy that he payed. I mean, if he really wants to pay then by all means, free drink for me! But I still feel bad.

"Ok." I turned around and scanned the place for a spare seat which wasn't hard to find since there was only a few people in here.

I found a small both by a window and if was across from the kids playset. I sat down and put my bag down next me as I stared out the window at anything that became interesting to me.

After a few minutes Harry joined me with our frappes and he handed me mine, "here you go."

"Thanks, you really didn't have to pay."

"No, it's fine, really, it is. So you wanna hear the rest of the news or not?"

Suddenly more focused on the subject, I sat up straight and nodded my head eagerly.

"Well, earlier today, before school, I saw Carol talkin with Serenity. I don't know why, but they were gettin along just fine. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I did see Carol give Serenity some stickytape, your diary and the pieces of yellow paper..."

Harry stopped to give my time to let the new info sink in.

Why would Ser be taking the items from Carol? Was Carol forcing her to put the pics up? Were they really best friends and doing this behind my back? I just don't know anymore!

I was lost in my thoughts when I noticed Harry staring at me intently.

"What?" I asked, startled as my cheeks reddened knowing that he was staring at me.

His cheeky smile played at his lips, "Nothing."

"No, seriously, what? Why were you staring at me like that?" I think I may have sounded offended, but I'm just self conscious.

"Nothing, don't worry!" He chuckled cutely. Wow, I didn't even notice this whole time that I've been sitting and talking with my crush! I just forgot about it and thought of him as some sort of friend, is that weird? I don't know, I wish we could be friends, are we? Friends? The question was pushed from my mind as I noticed him staring again.

"What?!" This time I laughed too.

He just laughed at me and refused to answer.

HARRY'S POV

"What?!" Zafira laughed as she noticed my stares.

I laughed too, I can't help it! She's just so beautiful, I get lost in my thoughts when I'm looking at her. Whenever I'm around her, I'm just not the same. I'm kinda shy and less flirty. Secretly, I have liked her since primary school but I was never sure if she felt the same way. I was always certain that she didn't know I existed! So I just kept dating and earned my reputation as, "The Flirt." And just went from there, it kept my mind off things, off her. But, secretly, I really, really like this gorgeous girl that I'm lucky enough to be spending the afternoon with and now that I know from the photocopied diary pictures that she feels the same way, I plan to do something about it, just waiting for the right time...

ZAFIRA'S POV

Harry and I talked for a while as we sipped on our frappes. I learnt alot of new things about him and he learnt some new things about me too. We were just getting to know eachother, forgetting the fact that we came here to quickly talk about the issue with my diary. And when he went to the toilet, I quickly slipped my money that I should've used to pay for my drink, into his wallet. Now feeling alot happier.

LIAM'S POV

Where is she? I paced back and forth in my loungeroom, waiting for Zafira to turn up. She was meant to be here at 4pm and it's now 6:17pm! I don't think she's just late. She wouldn't dis me though, would she? I mean, she is my best friend and we did organise this afternoon's plans together, so where is she?

I can't help but feel a hole in my heart. She might've forgotten but the thought of her pushing her plans with me to the side just hurt me even more. She's my beat friend and I love her like a brother, but do I only love her in a brotherly way?

********
