Best Friends?

Chapter 1

"What are you doing?" I asked my best friend that I've know since we were 5 years old.

"Well, what does it look like I'm doing?"

"I wouldn't have asked if I already knew, idiot."

"Oh. Well, since you asked, I'm making you my very delicious recipe of chocolate chip cookies."

"Since when do you bake?"

"Since five minutes ago."

"You're retarded," I chuckled.

"But you love it." he winked.

"You wish." I said rolling my eyes.

So if you haven't noticed, I'm hanging out with my best friend, Evan. We've been friends since we were five, and have never been separated since. I don't know what I would do without him. I love him, like a brother. He's kinda like my protecter I guess you could say.

"You get the best of both worlds! Chill it out, take it slow, then you rock out the show! You get-"

Evan picked up his phone and excused himself so he could go talk to whoever interrupted us so they could talk to him.

He then walked back in.

"Sorry El. I've gotta go. My mom needs me at the house." He started to pick up his stuff.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye, Love you."

"LOVE YOU TOO." I yelled so he could hear me.

****
"Go away."

"Now why would I ever do that?"

"Because, I don't like you."

"But I like you."

"So?"

"So, I think we should be best friends."

"But I already have one, so no. Plus you're a bad boy and I'm a good girl. That doesn't really mix well."

"One day, you'll be mine, not Evan's."

"Whatever"

He then walked away.

His name is Jordan Lee. He's the school's bad boy and the guy who's tried to get me to be his best friend since freshman year. It's really annoying actually. I don't remember a day that, that boy actually left me alone. But it is kinda funny to see Evan get really jealous. He hates Jordan because he's trying to take me away from him. But I know that will never happen because nobody and I mean NOBODY, can replace him
.

I'm taken out of my thoughts when Evan takes a seat at our usual table at lunch.

"Was he really talking to you again today?"

"Yeah. I turned him down again. I don't think it's ever gonna end. It's been going on for three years. It will be four by the time this year is over."

He just shakes his head.

"Hey wanna have a sleepover tonight at my place?" I ask him.

"Nah, I got plans with the family. We're having a family game night but we'll plan something on Saturday."

"Oh, ok. Sounds good. I guess me and my dad can have a movie night or something. We actually haven't hung out in a while."

*The Bell Rings*

"Alright, well I gotta go to gym but I'll catch up with you later, ok?"I told him.

"Mhm." and he nods his head.
****
I got home from from school around 4:10 and I saw my dads car in the driveway. I walk into the house with all of my school stuff in hand.

"HEY DAD, IM HOME!" I yelled when I closed the door.

"Hey pumpkin, how was your day?"My dad says and kisses me on the forehead.

"It was ok. Wanna have a movie night tonight?"

"Sure, will you run to target and gets us some snacks? I haven't gone to the store this week." he said and handed me his card.

"Yeah" I say then I'm walking out the door to the car.

****
I walk out of the store with all kinds of stuff for the movie night. I get in the car and drive home.

"HEY DAD, IM HOME....AGAIN" I yelled for the second time today.

"What did you get?" My dad said walking into the kitchen.
" I got stuff for sundaes, some macaroni and cheese cups, gold fish, chips, grapes, soda, all kinds of candy, popcorn, and I ran to chickfila and got us both a 12-piece chicken nugget. Oh! I also got the notebook for us to watch."

"Why the notebook?" He asked, starting to pout.

"Because, you haven't lived until you've seen that movie. So suck it up because that's what we're watching."

"Ok, let's start making the food. Start making the macaroni and I'll get the stuff out for sundaes."

I nodded and did as I was told. My dad was a cool dad. We would always joke around and have a good time. But he was still strict sometimes. After my mom died, he started to be more strict because he doesn't wanna lose me to and I understand that. I don't wanna lose him too.
*one and a half hours later*
We are now sitting on the couch, waiting on the movie to start. We were in a deep conversation but once it started I told him to shush.
We got like halfway into the movie and I said", Omg! Ryan Gosling looks just like you, dad!"

"No he doesn't, we look nothing alike."

"Oh come on, y'all are practically twins!"

"I just don't see it. But I'm definitely more handsome than him, Dontcha think?"

"Yeah, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"I'm glad to know you love me, pumpkin."

"Yeah, yeah." I say before I go into a deep sleep.
