"I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations."

𝐏𝐨𝐧𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐲'𝐬 𝐩.𝐨.𝐯.

When Val and I were in middle school we were inseparable. We hung out all the time; before school, during school, and after school.

We were together so often that people started to think we were dating, and while Val denied it and laughed it off, I didn't mind the idea of it.

If I ever came close to admitting that I liked her Val would throw her arm around me and talk about how lucky she was to have me as her best friend.

     I'd always thought that one day she would say she liked me, then I would be able to tell her how I felt, but that dream died when high school started. She started liking other guys—guys that weren't me.

     I got home late that night after planning the party with Val. Darry didn't even have the strength to yell at me, so he just sent me to bed.

     "Is that you Pony?" Soda yawned.

     "Hey Soda." I said as I crawled under the covers. I tried my best to fall asleep, but I couldn't help but think about Val. My feelings from years ago were coming back and I didn't know what to do.

     I shifted uncomfortably. "Soda?" I whispered, hoping he hadn't slept yet.

     "Yeah, what's up?"

     I could tell from his voice that he was tired but I needed advice and Soda was the only person I could talk to right now.

     "I have a question,"

     "Shoot, I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask."

     "No, trust me. You probably are." I said. He turned around to face me and nodded his head.

     "So, let's say that I had a crush on this girl." I began. "And let's say I used to like this girl a couple of years ago,"

     Soda didn't say anything but I saw him smile just a little.

     "What would you do if you were in my position? I mean, do I ask her out or ignore it." I asked. I grew a little more nervous as Soda thought about it. I already knew what he would do. Soda would ask the girl out—he would never get turned down anyway.

     "Well, it depends." He smirked, "Is she cute?"

     "Very," I smiled. "But that's not all. It's just the way she laughs and her weird snort when she doesn't want to. Oh, and the way she pays attention to every little detail as if I'm the only person who matters,"

     "Anything else?" He prompted.

     "Her smile. That damn smile drives me nuts because all I want to do is make her smile again. And her eyes just light up when she's happy."

     I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, picturing Val. "Is it crazy that I want to hold her hand all time?" I whispered.

     "Pony, it sounds like you're in love with the girl." Soda chuckled.

     "In love." I repeated. When I thought about being in love it felt all warm and fuzzy, like that feeling could never go away. But when I said it out loud it didn't sound right. I could never be in love with Val, not when she was my best friend. Not when I was hers.

"Hey Pony? Do I know this girl?" Soda asked.

Usually I could tell Soda anything but not this time. I needed to think everything through before telling him this 'girl' is Val.

"No. It's just a girl from school." I finally said.

"Oh, okay."

"Goodnight Soda." I whispered.

"Night, Pony."
