Waking up hungover was an understatement. My first class was at 11, so didn't have much time to get refreshed. I completely forgot about the bump into with Kate last night until I saw a text from last night, "Are you mad at me?" it read. Of course, from Kate. I rub my hand over my face in complete embarrassment. With the alcohol running through my system, I let me feelings get the best of me. The feelings that I've been avoiding to admit. After Adam dropped me off last night, I called Caroline, asking for her help. I cried and explained how I got jealous over Kate with another girl. The words from my best friend running through my mind like a record, "babe just admit you like her." Caroline was the only one that could get it out of me. Sure, when Kate would talk to me, hug me, text me, compliment me, I was blushing and it was obvious. It was just a matter of time before our friends started taking notice of my actions. I grab my phone and build up the courage to reply to her. "no, why would i be?" I responded, immediately seeing the text bubbles popping up, anxious for a response. "Last night? You can't tell me that wasn't weird." I rolled my eyes at her text, no shit Kate, I thought to myself.

I stupidly smile at my phone. I took it in a way she probably didn't mean it, but she doesn't have to know that, right?

The rare occasion of Macey being jealous was honestly something I wish happened more often. As she is someone who cherishes her relationships with people, it doesn't shock me that she gets nervous about being replaced, especially with her last relationship. I dropped off the girl I met in one of my classes last year at around 12:30 before sending a risky text to the girl I couldn't stop thinking about. As much as I want her to be in a happy relationship, a part of me wants it to be with me. Knowing there's no chance with me as she's head over heels for Adam, I gained a little bit of hope after our encounter last night. No girl acts that petty to someone else unless they are jealous. I can't get ahead of myself as Harper is still texting me, she assumed our date went amazing when really I was just taking her out, hoping to find someone to get Macey off my mind. Clearly it didn't work.
About a week ago is when I decided I liked Macey. As much I was trying not to, it was inevitable. All she wanted to do was hang out, and even if I would have said no, she would be everywhere. Workouts, parties, at Jada or Caitlin's apartment. There's no way to escape such an amazing person. She cares so much for everyone, it's painful. When she first told me about her and Ian's relationship, she explained how it took her a long time to admit he was in the wrong and that it wasn't her fault. It took her almost 6 months to realize she hates him. If that doesn't explain how big of a heart she has then I don't know what does. As much as I'm happy she's in my life, it kills me. Knowing I can't have her, knowing that Adam is the one with full range, full attention.
My phone pings. I look at my phone, a text from Macey.
macey
no why would i be?
I can't think of a response.
kate
Last night? You can't tell me
that wasn't weird.
Her next response left me speechless. So she admits she's jealous? But for a different reason, not the reason I want. I want her to be jealous I was with another girl, and not just a friend.
macey

sorry i don't want my famous
bsf to replace me🙄🙄
Even if she was mine, I would have the same response. She has no reason to worry about me replacing her. How could anyone replace her?
kate
Please
You know you don't need
to worry about that
Our back and forth bickers that are borderline petty, flirty, and a joke kill me. It leaves me confused but at the end of the day she's just my best friend. I know I like her but do I know what I want? No. Do I know what Adam wants? No. Do I know what Macey wants? Yes. And it's not me.
