Jenn.

The smell of cologne and socks woke me up. I rubbed my eyes and remembered i was at Jake's. He was sleeping with his back facing me. I looked at my phone and saw a message from Shawn.

Shawn: hey can we talk? I feel like we should. I dont want us to end on an awkward note.

I didn't either. Shawn has been my friend sense 1st grade and i didn't want this little thing to end it.

Me: sure, my spot?

Shawn: sounds good

Me: great, be there in 10

Shawn: okay

I hopped out of bed. I realized i couldn't just leave without any explanation. I wrote a note and left it on the bed. I quickly went back home and changed into knew clothes. I wore a plain white t-shirt and shorts. I wrapped a flannel around my waist. I put my hair up in a high pony. I wore my white high tops with my outfit.

You know how i said to shawn 10 minutes? Yeah make that 20, oops! He was already there on the rock. I walk over with the sound of breaking leaves.

"Hey sorry" i say.

"Its fine" he smiles.

I sit on the rock with him and he sighs.

"So look Jenn were best friends and i dont want to loose you over a stupid mistake I made"

"Neither do I" i reply.

"I just have a question" i add.

"Ok"

"Do you like me?" I struggled to say.

"....y-yes" he was hesitant.

I didnt really care if we were gonna be friends and he had a crush on me. I knew he wasnt gonna pull anything.

"I just wanted to know" i say.

"Friends?" He asked.

"Best friends" we smile.

He hug. We started talking about our summer so far. It was awkward when it came to my part where im pretty much dating Jake. shawn was so cool with it though. I dont think his crush was that big on me or he at least didnt make it look like it.

"All of us, even Jake, should hang out, oh and with matt too" he says.

"Yeah maybe tomorrow at the beach" i recommend.

"Yeah ill ask Matt and you ask Jake"

"Ok, 2pm?"

"Perfect"

We hop off the rock and wave goodbye as were walking our separate ways.

•••

"Sounds amazing, but your sure he wont--"

"No trust me, he even invited you i dont think he will make a move in front of you" i pointed out.

"True, ok then sure!" I can tell he is smiling through the phone.

"Great, 2pm"

"Be there at 1:30"

I chuckle, "dork"

We hang up and I throw my phone on my bed. I start thinking, is Jake gonna be the jealous type?
