You and Grace had been childhood friends. When you two first met it was because you and your family had moved in right next door to her family. When you were about 8, you started hanging out together almost everyday.
Grace was always so nice at first, but around the time you entered year 8 is when things changed. You weren't sure why but grace started being distant. You guys had the same friend group but when you would hangout, she wouldn't talk to you as much. You figured it was grace's love for football that maybe took most of her time. You knew she really loved it and what it meant for her, she was serious about it.
You didn't take offense to anything, if anything you wanted her to be happy and do what she loved.
When you both entered year 10, it was when things got even more weird between you two. Grace would talk to you, but she was different with you. She had this new attitude around you, but it was only around you. She would make snarky comments when she would talk with you, almost in a teasing way. Grace was never like that with you before, she was always this sweet and caring girl.
Your parents had grown closer to each other, her mother was so welcoming to you whenever you needed to spend the night or if your own parents were going out and you needed someone to watch over you.

You were now both 20.
You guys still sometimes talked, but grace was always teasing you about something when you did. Both of your parents wanted to go on a trip this summer, it was to this small airbnb. On the ride to the airbnb your mom told you that you were going to be sharing a room with Grace.
You didn't think anything about it, you didn't hate the girl or have anything against her. In your mind you were just going to be sharing a room with grace.
Except that wasn't the case, when you and grace walked in there was only one bed.
Not just a normal sized bed, the tiniest bed you had ever seen. Your brother's twin bd back at home was probably bigger than this.
"Is this where they want us to sleep?" you asked looking over to grace as you put your luggage down on the floor.
"I guess so...i mean..i think it's clear i'm taking the bed." grace stated. You rolled your eyes and looked at her. She had this tiny little smirk on her face. "Why should you get the bed?" you said. Grace shrugged not knowing what to say. "Well, i walked into the room first...so it's only fair-" grace was talking. "Oh shut up.." you said shaking your head.
"Well why do you want to take the bed?" grace said. "Well i didn't want to but since you're being like that..the bed is my size....clearly not yours." you looked at grace up and down. "Ohhhh....you're right...i knew it looked like it was made for a midget.." grace said with a small smile on her face as she looked at the bed.
"Okay...if you're gonna be like that...why don't you just take the couch.." you suggested. "I am not taking the couch-" grace said.
"Well then i guess we'll both have to share the bed...let's just save our parents the headache..you always do this.. " you said quickly causing grace to shoot her head at you.

It was now night time, your dad had went out to get dinner since everyone was way too tired to go make something. You were the one to go down for the food to bring upstairs for you and Grace.
"Here...you got a burger and fries right?" you asked grace who was sitting in the middle of the bed you two were supposed to be sharing. She was looking down at her phone and looked up at you when you walked into the room.
"Yeah." she nodded.
You walked over and handed her the bag that had her food in it. "Can you scoot over?" you asked grace. Grace slowly looked at you. "It's my bed too you know..." you reminded her. Grace scoot over enough for you to sit next to her, which you did. Grace took her burger out and took the top bun off and started picking at it. You looked over at her and smiled a bit.
"You still do that?" you asked taking your own burger out. "Do what?" grace said looking up at you. "Dissect your burgers..." you said almost holding in your laugh a little. "I just don't like pickles..." grace said. "Do you still like pickles?" grace asked you. You slowly nodded and smiled at her. Grace then slowly placed her pickles on your wrapper.
You smiled and took a bite out of your burger.
You sat there in silence eating your food, it was a bit awkward but you had no choice. As you were finishing up your food you started to hear small drops on your window next to the bed. You looked up at grace and stopped chewing, grace shook her head.
"It's probably just going to drizzle.." she said. You nodded and finished up your food.
__________
Both of you had gotten ready for bed now, the rain was much harsher now. You stood in front of the small bed. Grace came and stood next to you.
"So how are gonna do this...since you know there's only one bed." grace said. "We've done it before...you know we used to have a lot of sleepovers." you reminded grace as you got in bed. "Right.." grace said getting into bed.
It didn't have to be this awkward but grace looked pretty nervous. You were now both facing each other, the rain outside sounded like hell. You knew you couldn't sleep as long as it sounded like that. Grace knew that as well.
"Do thunderstorms still freak you out.." grace asked. "A little.." you said. "You'd know that if you talked to me every now and then.." you reminded her.
The room was pretty dim but with the light outside you could still see grace's face.
"Why did you stop talking to me...." you asked grace. Grace shook her head and blinked at you. "We were like bestfriends when we were little...then you got distant...and now when you talk to me you have this little attitude.." you called her out on it.
"Maybe i act this way because.." grace started saying. "Because why?" you said sounding intrigued.
"Because maybe i like you?" grace said. "Is that a question.." you said. "No- i do like you." grace stated. "Then why do you treat me like this..." you asked.
"Maybe i just...i don't know...maybe i didn't want to drive you away.." grace said.
"You could never do that.." you reassured her. "I think i like you too much to get scared off.." you smiled. Grace held your hand and smiled. "I missed you..." you smiled. "I missed my best friend too.." grace kissed the back of your hand.
