Loreinz' POV
Hello! I'm Loreinz Aiden Carter and I'm already 15 years old and as far as i remember i have a childhood bestfriend since i was 6 up until i turned 10, Riley
and yes i still remember the times wherein we would play
and I'll stare at her and be at a loss for words
Obvious na ba ako masyado sa line pa lang na yan? HAHAHAHA
Kung sasabihin ninyo na hindi, thank you for gaslighting me HAHAHA
Kung sasabihin ninyo na Oo, sige na tama na kayo
I like my childhood best friend , My Riley Fontaine
Is it too much to call her mine? or am i really just whipped with her?
But wait, i know you guys are curious if Riley and i stayed as friends or if we chose to stay away from one another so allow me to tell you guys a little bit of a flashback when people started teasing us
FLASHBACK
Riley and I were really close, they started teasing us when we were 7 and up until we were 9 years old but we didn't mind them teasing because we knew it wasn't true
Well, i guess for her it was not true that we liked each other...
Maybe because of the fact she only thinks that she likes me as her bestfriend but as for me, i don't really know too but i feel like i have a crush on Riley
but since we were friends, i kept on trying to forget that feeling i have for her
When we were about to turn 10, teasing became more intense and as for Riley, she somehow became awkward with me and hid whenever i see her.
But i did not let that happen, I can't lose my friend... which is why i decided to talk with her
"Hey Riley, are you ignoring me?"
"A little bit? Nahihiya kasi ako dahil sa mga panunukso nila sa atin Reinz e"
"Lika nga dito Bub, paakap lang tas higpitan ko para marealize mo na hindi naman dapat na mailang tayo, sila lang naman gumagawa ng kwento, you're my bestfriend Ri and hindi ko kayang mawala sakin ang nag-iisang kaibigan ko ng dahil lang sa mga kwento2 nila"
" Sorry Reinz, hindi na ako maiilang promise ko sayo yan, pinky promise?"
end of Flashback
We did that pinky promise and i hugged her for the very first time and yes, hanggang ngayon we chose not to listen to how they would tease us and still keep our friendship
but as for me, that little crush i thought would go away as time passes became more of liking her as a woman.
It's summer today and oh haven't i told you that we moved houses?
We don't live anymore near Riley's aunt but we live now just right next to Riley's house which is easier for us to see one another.
