Okay heyyyy guys haha so in my poem I wrote a few weeks ago, I summed up my relationship with a friend of mine and so I decided to write a story to explain it all. Hope you like it!!! ~~~~~~
"Who is he....?" I ask my friend Kayleigh. We'd been friends only today, for it was the first day of school. I was just starting 8th grade and had been here for 3 years already. Kayleigh is in 7th and is completely new. She moved here with her older brother during the summer and had decided to come to our school.
"Now, how am I supposed to know that???" She replied jokingly.
"Oh yea, sorry." I laughed out.

As I make my way to my seat on the bus and sit down, I hear a voice that didn't seem very familiar. I slowly lifted my gaze to the boy I had seen earlier that day.
"Are you gay???" He bluntly asked the kid in front of him.
"You can't just go around asking people if they're gay..." I joke. He looks over at me and smiles a friendly smile.
"Why not?" He smirks.
"Nevermind that... What's your name?" I ask, shifting up in my seat a bit.
"Aubrey. And yours?" He replies gently.
"Jewel...." I cautiously answer. "There's something about this guy that seems... I don't know just yet." I think to myself.
"I like that name" He quickly smiles.
"No way... I love your name. I've always liked that name but never knew anyone with it." I say and relax a bit, knowing that its safe to get to know him. "I need to know him."
The rest of the ride home, we were laughing and joking around. We played tricks on the kid in front of him. Aubrey kept calling him Gabriella even though his name was Gabriel. He would get so upset. Aubrey actually laughed so hard one time that he fell out of the seat and onto the bus floor. He quickly scrambled up and made sure no one saw it. I did though. He knows I saw. He keeps his gaze locked on mine as the bus pulls to a stop at my driveway.
"Bye!" Aubrey yells after me.
"Bye." I reply with a friendly smile and exit the bus.
~~~~~~~ Later that month
"Heyyyyyy" I say as I make my way up to him in the bleachers.
"Heyyyy" he smiles and moves over a bit to make room for me to sit.
I walk over to him and sit a few feet from him and look over and smile a teasing smile. He laughs and moves closer as I do also. He looks at me for a minute with a blank expression. "I think I love him. No, that's stupid. I can't think that about him. He's just my friend." He raises his gaze to meet mine and we are just... there. It seems as if its just the two of us on our own with no one there to say, "Ooooooooh kisssss!!!!!" or "Awwww you guys are so cute together" or even "You guys should go out!" We get that a lot and we are JUST FRIENDS! Why can't anyone accept that?
But to be completely honest, I want more than that. I always tell people to stop saying those kind of things only to get them to say more. I feel whole, complete, perfectly serene when I'm with him. I never want to lose him. He will never lose me.
~~~~~~~
It had been about an hour after I got home from school and Aubrey should be home by now. I miss him. It has only been an hour but the few hours I'm without him are miserable. I have to hear him, to hear his perfect voice laughing and talking and be able to be myself with my bestfriend. I decide to call him.
~Ring, ring~
"Hello?" an unfamiliar voice picked up.
"Oh, uhmmm, hi. I-is uhmm can I talk to Aubrey?" I cautiously reply.
"Sure, just a second." The woman said
"Heyyyy girrrrlllll" Aubrey's voice suddenly boomed after a few seconds or utter silence.
"Heyyy boyyyy" I quickly replied with a laugh.
It went on and on about stupid stuff. Mostly perverted yet hilarious things.
"So I was watching this show yesterday and it was li-" He says
"I have to tell you something." I interrupt.
"Ooooooook? What is it?" He suddenly seemed very interested.
"I uhmmmm I just... uh I'll just tell you later...." I backed down, feeling that sick, bubbly feeling rise up inside of me.
"You sure?" He said sounding disappointed
"Yea... I think" I reply.
"Okay, well I gotta go, I'll call you later?" He said
"Yea, sure that's fine. Bye." I said
"Bye. I love you. I uhmmmm I didn't say that, I just, uhmmm yea, well bye" He said, still on the phone.
"I love you too. Bye." I say quickly and hanging up. I can't believe it. The boy I've fallen in love with told me he loves me. Everything is perfect. Nothing can go wrong now. We were meant to be together and he is finally realizing it.
