The story of you and Nick Bean

Chapter 11: Telling Nick

Ashlynn's POV

"Okay... here goes nothing." I sighed and then said, "Nick, I hope this doesn't make things weird with our friendship. But, I think I have a crush on you. I'm not sure how long I have had these feelings but, again, I completely understand if this is going to make things awkward between us. If what I just said doesn't make things awkward then, I know that you are a true friend and that I can trust you will anything and everything."

Nick just stared at me; I think he was processing what I just said. What did I just do? I think I just ruined my one and only friendship, I knew that I shouldn't have said anything, I knew this would make things awkward. So, I started to walk away, sulking because I thought Nick and I were through with being friends and that it was going to be too awkward. But, he pulled me back and did the one thing that I never in a million years would have thought would happen.

Nick's POV

Ashlynn just told me that she had feelings for me. WOW! Finally, I knew that she felt the same way! I guess that I was just staring at her, not saying anything. So, she started to walk away, looking upset. But, without even really realizing it, I pulled her back and kissed her. She kissed back.

It felt like we were the only two people alive, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I had wanted to do that ever since 5th grade but, I knew that if I did, it might ruin our friendship and she probably would have thought that I was insane and would never want to talk to me ever again. But, right then and there, I knew that it was the perfect time and I knew that we were then going to be more than just friends.

When we pulled apart, I just looked at her and smiled, and she looked back at me and had the biggest grin, and she was blushing, I think I was too to be honest.

Ashlynn's POV

Oh my God!!! Nick just kissed me!!! I was SO happy; I didn't even care if anyone was in the hall and saw... I just had my first kiss! And, what makes it better was that it was with my first actual crush! That was hands down, the best day ever!

We had to go to class but, we went to class holding hands, oh my God, it was amazing!

We finished off the day, we were happy because we had all but one class together this year. But, it was math... the one subject that we should have had together, just so I could help Nick, but, I could still help him after school.

I don't know maybe it was better that we didn't have math together, so that way he could actually concentrate instead of talking to me (like he had been doing every other year) maybe he could actually learn some math so, I wouldn't have to help him with it as much... Nah... who am I kidding, that boy has the shortest attention span... he couldn't even tell me one sentence before jumping to something completely unrelated to what he was saying.

But, I still loved him for it, even if that meant that I couldn't really talk to him without him screwing around with something or interrupting me... Except this morning when I was telling him how I felt, that was different, it was sweet that he was actually paying attention to what I was saying... for once, I don't think I'm ever going to get him to pay attention to me like that again...
