Silver lining

Crush

Me and David have known each other since the second grade. Which is hard to understand since I have just now developed feelings for him. I guess you just slowly fall in love with someone.

Now, two years since I've gotten a crush on him, I decided to tell him what I feel.

"Hey David?" I say
"Yeah?"
"Listen. Uhmm I wanted to tell you something."
"Tell me."
"Um I sorta have had this crush on you since like the 7th grade."
"Oh you have?" he said while slowly coming closer.
"Yeah and I was wondering if yo-"
He leaned closer and hugged me and whispered something into my ear cutting me off.
"Hey, you're pretty cool and all, but I don't like you like that. We're bros man. And we'll still be bros when we're old." He whispered while still hugging me.
"I guess, I understand"
He let go.
"Yeah sorry man I just don't like you like that."
"No it's fine."

It wasn't fine. I felt like my heart had been inserted into a shredder and ripped to pieces, ready for disposal. Maybe I shouldn't have expected him to feel the same way. I mean, all the girls love him. All the heartstrings had been cut and were just dangling in the space where my broken heart now lays.

I went to close friends in consolation. Seeing as they knew I liked him and had been kept up to date as to where my crush got.

"Ooh that must suck man" muttered Emily.
"Yeah, it's okay to cry haha, but yeah man that must be heart breaking" said George.

I've known Emily since 8th grade. Me and her were just one in the same. We understood each other. George came into my life later in the beginning of 9th grade. But I felt like I'd known him for years.

Later on, Emily and George had planned a trip to take my mind off of things. We went to Knotts Berry farm. There, we went on almost all the rides that weren't closed. We got there around 3:00 pm, and the fall weather had never been so good.

My feelings for David quickly started to deplete as time went on. I still talked with him about all the stuff normal friends talk about, as if nothing happened. David was still in my life, but I never saw him the same. Time went on and it was now around halfway through 10th grade. Emily and George are still my besties and our friendship had never been better.

Most of my time in school, but out of class, was spent with my two best friends. They always helped me when I needed them the most and the other way around too. Although, Emily was more understanding when it came to boy troubles. I guess she's had crushes of her own and knows what it feels like to be rejected. George on the other hand, was there when you just couldn't deal with pressure and you felt like everything was going to crumble right before your eyes. And he was funny, which helped when you're bored and need some fun in your life.

"Hey. Wanna hear a horrible science joke?" asked George.
"Sure boy"
"What did the brother cell tell his sister cell when she stepped on his toe?"
"Oh lord, not again!"said Emily.
"What did he say?"
"Mitosis"
"Oh god that was horrible" I responded
"Told you" muttered Emily.
"Hahah"
We sat quietly in the grass while lunch passed.

This school is pretty cool. It has lots of clubs. I signed up for anime club at club rush. Although the classes are hard to find. My pe class is on one side of the campus and my next class is, I kid you not, on the over side. It's even connected to the fence that surrounds the school.

I didn't really have classes with Emily this year. I had two classes with George, English and computer. He was more involved in my day than Emily. We had our lunch sessions hanging out so I guess there was that.
