How My Best Friend Turned Into My F*** Buddy

It All Started At A Party

I watched from my bed as my friend Sarah brushed her long silver hair up into a ponytail. I was scrolling on Instagram and occasionally yelling at her to hurry up because she always took so long. Her hair was once blonde but she dyed it silver over the summer because she was bored. I wasn't that adventurous. Plus I loved my brown hair. Sarah was definitely the dare devil out of the both of us. Sarah decided to wear black tights, a white v-neck shirt with sneakers. I was wearing jeans and long sleeve black shirt. It wasn't really smart to wear fancy clothes to these parties because they always get crazy. Plus it was always dark in the house so no one was gonna be paying attention to your clothes anyway. Tonight was a big night though. Heather Heaton was throwing her annual pool party bash after the football game and even though she was considered a mean girl and didn't personally invite me and Sarah, we knew we could come anyway because of the person we are all connected to.

Carter King.

Carter and I have been friends since elementary school. 3rd grade to be exact. I was in third and He was in forth. Our teachers often pushed us to work together in classes so we often joked that it was destined for us to be best friends. I also couldn't forget the fact that we were alike in many ways. We just have a certain understanding with each other that we didn't have with others. Growing up with him as my best friend changed a little when i reached 5th grade and met Sarah. She automatically became my best friend in a game of tag one day in recess when we were the only ones who couldn't get tagged because we were so fast. Sarah, Carter and I were the fastest 5th and 6th graders and even won some irrelevant awards for that. We all grew up together but now that Sarah and I are in 11th grade and Carter is in 12th grade we seemed to be kind of growing apart. Well actually only Carter and I have. Normally he and I would be close just like me and Sarah are, but lately he's been with his girlfriend Heather so much, and other girls in the school that he doesn't even give me the time of day. I could definitely say high school swallowed him whole. I was lucky enough that he had the time to invite us to Heather's party though, I planned to confront him there and see what was going on with us.

"Touchdown!"

A round of applause and screams of joy erupted from our side of the bleachers. The atmosphere on our side of the chilly field was congratulatory because Carter King made a touchdown and everyone went crazy including Sarah and I who jumped to our feet once his name was announced for helping the team win. I always wore his jersey number to support him but I wasn't the only one. Half the girls on the bleachers were wearing his jersey number or holding up signs to support him. Even though other girls wrote signs with his name on it and so forth, it really bothered me that Carter's girlfriend Heather, was wearing his number as well.

"Ugh that bitch makes my skin boil." I rolled my eyes while glaring at Heather as she stood with the rest of the cheerleading team. They were cheering for Carter as the game ended. The other team scurried away from the field scowling in defeat while our team, The Jets happily made their way over to our side of the bleachers. Everyone cheered and applauded while I watched under the night sky as Carter walked away from his team and approached Heather. I watched as he gave her a sexy smile while tilting his head at her as she ran up into his big arms. She laughed as they whispered to each other and hugged for forever it seemed like. "YEAH!" He yelled raising a fist in the air, the crowd around me cheered on with him. I did not like seeing them together, I would admit that I was jealous. Not of her personally, but just the fact that he always goes to her and I get nothing.

"Hey Lexi you coming?" I turned sideways to see people leaving the bleachers. It was Cody Abrims who called my name. He was a good looking football player who was also Carter's friend on the team. He didn't play with them today because he was out on injury. He twisted his ankle a week ago but he was good as new now. Unfortunately he missed too many practices for him to participate in the game tonight. Cody and I would flirt every now and then but nothing serious, I definitely could tell he was interested in me though. Cody was very tall and had dark brown short hair with brown eyes. He had the cutest smile and his body was built like a professional athlete.
