The Girl Next Door

Chapter Three

(Taylor's POV)

Believe it or not it had been two weeks since the first day of school. Toby and I started to walk home together from school everyday. It was a Friday and Toby had an idea.

"Hey. We should watch a movie together tonight. Maybe. I don't know what you're up to but yeah."

He was nervous. I could tell. I started to blush and said yes.

"Toby, you don't have to get nervous.. I'm not going to say no. You're my best friend."

"Ok well if that's the case.. Can I um have your phone number?" He said laughing a little bit.

"Yeah! Give me your phone!" I put my number in and smiled at Toby.

"Just text me when you want to hang."

I walked inside and talked to my mom for a few minutes, told her my plans. Then I walked upstairs and cleaned my room up a little bit. I laid down on my bed and looked up to the celing and just thought. I felt my phone vibrate. I had gotten a text from who I thought was Toby. The text read "I see you cutie ;) "

(Toby's POV)

She had to of gotten the text because I saw her pick up the phone, and look all around until she saw me through her window. I waved and she opened her window open.

"Hey loser"

"Hey" I said smiling.

"So my mom said it's cool if you come over. You just might want to use the front door so she doesn't think you're a creep or something. Haha."

"Haha. Will do. See you soon!"

(Taylor's POV)

Why am I so nervous? I'm freaking out. It's just Toby! Your best friend. No big deal. I heard a knock at the door and I was almost positive that it was Toby. I opened the door. There he was gorgeous as ever. Wait why did I just say gorgoeus as ever. Do I have feelings for Toby?

"Hey Tayyyyyy"

"Haha hi Toby! What movie do you want to watch?"

"PARANORMAL ACTIVITY!"

"Noooooooo. I hate scary movies!" I said.

"Pleaseeeeeee" Toby looked at me and made a frowny face.

"Ok fine. But you have to stay. You cannot leave me here alone right after the movie."

He smiled.

"Of course I will!"

I went downstairs to get some food and drinks, when I came up Toby had laid out some blankets and pillows for us. I put the movie in and we both sat down.

Toby was inching his way in closer and closer with every second. He is so cute. Maybe he'll make a move.

(Toby's POV)

I moved in a little bit closer just so I could make a point that I wanted to be more than friends, but I didn't want to rush anything because we just met. I wish we could just talk. I just want to know how she feels about me. I guess she thought that this part was scary because she's practically burying her face in my jacket.

"Haha sorry. I'm just kind of scared.."

"Haha no it's cool."

For the first time in years I had someone who I could just laugh with. I didn't have to worry about what she would think. I love this. We sat on the floor for hours. She put her head in my lap and we just sat there. It was absolutely perfect. She fell asleep and later on so did I.

I got up and left and note and then went home quietly avoiding her family.
