Best friends

1

It was Monday morning, and god knows, I hate Monday's. School had started 3 weeks ago which wasn't bad since it's my senior year.

Jc was on his way to pick me and go to school like always. I was getting ready, I put on my sweatshirt and leggings. I don't really do much with my hair besides have it in a clip, I mean it's only school.

As I was getting my backpack from the floor. I heard a loud beep from outside, he was here for me already.

I quickly got my things ready and headed out. I locked my front door with my house keys and walked to his truck.

—Good morning—I smiled at him, as I put on my seat belt.— morning, ready to go?—he asked me cheerfully. I nodded and he started to hit the road.

—You should really consider in driving again Gigi—he told me—¿Why? You don't want me to be your passenger anymore?—i asked him confused, even a little hurt from it.

—You'll always be my Passenger buddy but I really do think you should drive again. I know your accident was bad and I don't blame you for it. But...I think it's time for you to face your fear.— he said looking at me briefly. He knew his comment didn't mean harm.

—I don't know Jc...What if I get hit again? It felt horrible. I don't want to relive it again.—

—I know, when I got the call from your mom I felt a punch in my stomach, I can't imagine how you felt.—

—Just think about it, alright?—he looked at me and I gave him a warm smile. Maybe he was right, I should probably get back to driving. The accident had happened almost two years ago.

—I can't believe you'll be turning 18 soon—I mentioned, trying to change the topic.

—I'm excited, you know, my 18th birthday bash is going to be pretty sick—

—You'll soon be 18...a adult but you sure don't act like one—I laughed, Jc was not a mature boy, yeah he can be serious but he's just naturally a goof ball.

—18 years of being with you—he said with a smile—I can't imagine my life with you Gigi, you're my best friend. My soulmate— he held my hand and gently gave it a kiss.

—You'll always be my best friend joshua—I meant it, I can't think of anyone else but him. He knows me, inside and out. The real me, all my secrets expect one. My love towards him.. not the best friend one. But the one where I wish he would be my boyfriend.

—Well then, miss Giovanna, we have arrived to the most beautiful place in the world, School.—he laughed, I rolled my eyes from this "comedy".

I had always seen Jc as my best friend. Especially because our moms were best friends since highschool. But something happened to me, it was summer of junior year. We had gone to the lake for my dad's birthday.

We were alone in the dock by ourself, it was past midnight. We were talking about our childhood. I remember being so close to him, hearing his voice only. I looked into his eyes, I was so lost and nervous. I didn't know what was happening to me, for a moment I stopped thinking about him as a friend but a lover. I imagined how it would be if he was more than just a simple friend. His laughter, the way his eyes would shine.

That's when I knew he was more than just a best friend...For weeks I tired to push those  unknown feelings away. It felt strange, I mean, he knew too much about me. Embarrassing things, my crushes, my failed talking stages...

—I'm staying after school. So don't wait for me—I told him as we got down from his truck.—I'll wait, I have basketball practice—

—Okay , thank you —I said

—Hey guys—Yelled Justin has he walked to us, not exactly walking more like running, he tried to catch up to us. —Hi Justin—I smiled to him

—Hey gi—he said out of breath—God y'all walk fast—

—Basketball practice was cancelled Jc. We can go home early. Finally—

—Justin we have Student council today—I reminded him—Gigi let me have my moment please.—

Jc laughed at Justin's comment and continued walking into the school.

—Hoco is going to be huge this year. Cause top dog and me are going to plan it since I'm officer and she's president.— said the curly head, meaning me. I was "Top dog".

—Hell yeah brother, legacy high is going to have one of the most memorable homecoming's of the year— I said cocky— or even if the century—added Justin to it.

—how come y'all never do anything for basketball though? It's always about the football team—

—Oh jc...it's america. Everyone and they mommas' love football especially high school football—I winked at him

—Morning— Britney great us, especially with Justin giving him a kiss on the cheek.—Hi love— he smiled to her once he saw her.

—¿Did y'all hear?—she said— Hear what?—i asked confused.

—There's a new student. He's a boy maybe it's Gigi's lover—she sounded excited. Jc looked at her almost in disgust, her lover? Really?

—How do you even know this?—jc asked her annoyed. If something happened, Britney was the first one to know. She  knew the gossip of everyone.

—I was in the office right now, i saw him. Nick? Or was it Rick? No, I'm pretty sure it was nick—she tried to remember.—He's cute, blondie too—

Once she said that Justin coughed almost as if she forgot that her boyfriend wasn't there. —Oh please, Im just saying, don't get hurt. You know you'll always be cuter than any boy.—

—That's what I like to hear—he said proudly.

—Anyways, Gigi and me should get going to our class.—

—Oh shit, you're right.— i realized the bell was about to ring. I can't be late to class.—Bye, Gi. I'll see you in lunch—Jc gave her a quick hug and let her go with her friend.

—Jealous, huh?—justin said with a smirk—Me? Of course not Gigi is my best friend. I just don't want her to get hurt by another dumb boy. Remember what happened with Brian— I said annoyed. Brian was our basketball teammate. Blond, with blue eyes, a charmer.

—Her first boyfriend—

—He was never her boyfriend. They were just talking. She hasn't had her first boyfriend.— I looked at him serious.

—Well then maybe he might be the first—he joked around, but Jc didn't really take it well.
