One of the saddest thing that could happen, is when one falls in love, while the other wants nothing but friendship. What would you do if you've been challenge into a game, called Friend zone?
It's been three days since I'm grounded. No phone, no hanging out with my friends, and no leaving my room except for dinner and going to school. Sometimes, Harry would sneak in by my window to accompany me, but most of the times, he would leave me for Angel. Books were the only thing that could save me from boredom, and after that, I would just sleep until the next day comes. And now, Saturday morning, I'm finally free! My days being a prisoner in my own room was finally over and I can now go wherever I want. But sadly, I have work for today. In the small café near by our neighborhood, I worked as a cashier. I knew I'm living in a wealthy family since both of my parents have jobs and we're not having a trouble with money. But that's not the reason why I decided to work here. It's because of Harry. Ever since summer, he won't stop nagging me about getting a part time job in this coffee shop, so as his best friend, I applied here as a cashier. It's not that hard to apply here though, because the owner of this café already knew who we are since we always went here every weekend when we were younger. He always sees us here and claimed us as his favorite customer. So definitely when we both in need of job, he hired us easily. Mum doesn't mind with this part time job thing. She said that she was fine with it and she's proud of how being independent I am. After all, she never gave me a money for my own needs. Only my allowance every week was given to me so thanks to this job, I can buy things that I wanted. Sadly, Harry didn't go today so I'm leaving working with Justin (one of the workers). He usually works in the kitchen so we never have a time to talk to each other. Only this morning when I was helping him cleaning and preparing this coffee shop... He was really kind whenever he speaks, because every time he started a conversation, he always asked 'how's my day was' or 'how's my life been going', and if I'm being honest, he was really a charming guy. I remember the first time I met him, I felt a spark inside my tummy, but that was before. Nothing or no one would ever compares my feelings to Harry, who happens to be the wrong person I fall to... As I've heard, the reason why he didn't go for work today, is because of Angel. They were fighting over something... I think? Why is it so important that he have to leave his job, just for that bitch? Here it goes again my jealous side. I knew I have no right to feel this way but I can't help it. I always wondered why people who are in relationship always fighting over something? I mean does it normal? I never understands how relationships works, because I never been into one. Sometimes people who are together, weren't really meant for each other. Granny's voice ringing through my mind. Well, if they didn't like each other, why did they have to be together? Maybe getting into a relationship was really complicated, so I think I shouldn't be into one. And even if I want to, no boys would like me. Just like Luke said to me, I'm such a prude. Don't get me wrong, I know what's the meaning of that word, and it's not that I didn't know what sex is. Of course I know what it is! I'm just not comfortable of talking about it. He just said it because when I was in middle school, a boy older than my age, told me that he wants to eat me out, but I just shrugged him off. And thanks to Harry in that time, that boy went home with a black eye. At first I was mad at Harry, because I didn't know what's that boy's meaning to say, but when I was old enough for realization to hit me, I finally thank him for doing that to me. I mean who can blame me?! I'm just 12 turning to 13 that time! And also, there's a reason why I can't get a guy. I remember this boy named Gregory when I was in 9th grade... He always sending me flowers and chocolates whenever we meet each other in school. I thought it just the way of being friendly, but then Harry warns me that I should be careful with those gifts he was sending me because there might be a love posion in it. So me, as naive as I am, I threw all the thing he was given to me away. And that's when I felt guilty because I saw how broken he was. And started from that day on, I promised myself that I would just isolated myself from the boys who aren't my best friends.
I observe my surrounding, and a bitter frown appeared on my face. Most of our costumers today were couples. Holding hands, sending each other a flirtatious smile, and even some are kissing. Only of I could do that... This place had a great memory for me and Harry. Because this is the place where the first embarrassing moment happened between the two of us. I still remember that day... I was only in the age of 12.
Flash back After school, instead of going to the park, like Harry and I were always do, we went to the café near our neighborhood. I don't know what's with those chocolate muffins Harry won't stop nagging me about ever since this morning, but I have to try it, since Harry said he wasn't taking no for an answer... So definitely, that's the reason why I come with him today. "I promise you! You'll like it! Mum brought me one yesterday! And it really taste awesome!!!" He chirped making me chuckle. "Alright! Alright! Calm your horses!" I then, giggled. We both laughed as we entered the café. Just like he promised, we ordered chocolate muffins, and he was right... It is delicious. "So how does it taste?" He asked with a grin on his face. It so cute by the way. Wait? Where did that come from? "Heather?" I blinked my eyes multiple times, before I response, "Oh yeah! It's taste awesome!" I gave him a thumbs up, making the grin on his face became wider. I never realize he look handsome. what the-? What the hell Heather?! I never once admire him before? What's wrong with me right now?! Suddenly, my stomach start to ache. Actually, not my stomach, more like... my lower abdomen. I palmed my tummy, and lay my forehead on the table. Since this morning, I felt something strange like this. But it wasn't hurt like this before... "Are you okay?" Harry asked. His voice was filled with comcern. I look at him and shook my head. "It hurts." I replied, and rub my stomach. "Oh no... Did you ate something this morning?" "Just a little pizza on the fridge?" He palmed his forehead. "Maybe it's because of the muffins?" I shook my head. " I don't think so. I already felt this since this morning." "Maybe you should go home." He suggested making me pout. "But we haven't finish our muffins yet!" He rolled his eyes. "I don't care! What if it's bad and you die? Your mum's probably going to balme it to me since I'm always with you." I pouted my lips more. "Hey!" He laughed. "Come on." He stood before gesturing to the door exit. I don't have a choice, so I just followed him. As we about to exit the café, someone suddenly poke my shoulder, only to faced a boy with brown curly hair, that same as Harry, with brown eyes.

He was familiar. I think I'd seen him somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on it. "Um... There's a stain on your dress." He informed, making me look at the lower back of my dress. My eyes widened, when I saw scarlet stain on it. "What's wrong?" Harry asked, and take a look at my dress too. "Oh my God Heather!" He gasped. And that's when reality hits me... I'm on my first period.
Ends of flashback
I can't believe Harry's the first person who witnessed it. And started from that day on, whenever I'm having a mood swings, he always blame it on my period.
