Friendzone

Chapter Three

Shaira's POV 

"Kristine" I whined obnoxiously watching her scroll through endless notifications "What?" she groaned slapping my hand repeatedly "Ow" I whined pulling away "You no hurt me" I said in a baby voice. She looked at me as if she were waiting for me to say something "Well?" she asked arching an eyebrow at me "Well what?" I asked bluntly mimicking her "Well what were you going to tell me?" she asked exhasperated "Oooh" I said as realization struck "Why aren't you talking to him" I whined reffering to Josh being online "You talk to Harold then I'll talk to him" she challenged smugly her face holding a look that said 'I-know-you-wont-do-it' "With pleasure" I said wiping that smile of her face.

I grabbed my phone logging on to Facebook messenger, seeing he was online "Oh look he's on, perfect" I said mockingly tapping his name. I quickly typed down a "heyo c:" and send "Now I wait and you talk to him. Go on sweet cheeks. Prince charming's waitin" I said wearing the smug look she once had.

She huffed out a breath before doing her side of the agreement. She typed "hi" her pointer hovering over the send button obviously contemplating wether or not she should send it "Oh for the love of..." I hit the enter button causing the message to be sent "I hate you" she glared at me "Love you too hun" I grinned grabbing my phone seeing Harold had replied making me grin wide. I'm not going to deny the sudden explosion of butterflies in my stomach

You: heyo c: 

Harold: Hi 

You: Whatchadoin?

And surprisingly enough he replied almost instantaneously.

Harold's POV 

I stared at the screen with disinterest as 21 Jump Street played. My parents seemed to be into it so I didn't really mind. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket followed by my notification ringtone

"Put your phone on silent dear" my mom instructed "Yea mum" I replied doing as she told. I opened up my messenger seeing that I had a message

Shaira: heyo c:

I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face. Wait... why am I smiling? You have a girlfriend Harold. Remember that. I told myself frowning slightly.

You: Hi 

Shaira is typing...

It made me arch my eyebrow when she almost imediately replied

Shaira: Whatchadoin? 

You: Watching 21 Jump Street 

Shaira: Issit nc? 

You: i find it boring

And after that I found myself smiling more often than I should.

Shaira's POV 

I found myself trying to supress a smile as Harold sent me another one of his corny pick up lines

Harold: Another 1? 

You: Sure

I waited for a couple of minutes, reading a few of my forgotten stories in Wattpad, not really understanding because my mind was clouded with thoughts before I felt my phone vibrate again.

Harold: Do u know y i fall in love everyday? 

You: Y? 

Harold: Becus I see you everyday 

You: Corniest one yet 

Harold: Yea... I wrote that to Ira

And just by the mention of her name, my heart sunk. Ira, here, is his girlfriend. I hate her. Don't get me wrong. She's oh so sweet, nice, charming, beautiful and one of my best friends. But I hate her... okay more like envy her.

You: Awwwhhh. That's so sweet

I sighed slightly annoyed. Why did our conversations always land on her. Well of course he loves her but- My train of thought was interrupted by my phone vibrating

Harold: I enjoy talking to u

I can't help but feel special just by that one simple sentence

You: thnx. I enjoy talking to u too 

You: hey, do u go to the school fairs? 

Harold: sometimes 

You: why sometimes? Its so fun in the fair! 

Harold: fine. Im going this year 

Harold: for u

My heart started to beat faster

Harold: Haha and the corniness continues

Of course. He was only practicing his flirtatious on me. Lets remember the word PRACTICING is there everyone.

You: awesome. can my friends and I join u guys? 

Harold: of course. the more the merrier 

You: Yey! woo! 

Harold: i really do like speaking to u 

You: u too. its like u can manage my impossible replies 

Harold: I reply even if idg what ur saying 

You: Touché

And our conversations goes on and on and on.

Harold's POV 

I quickly tried to think another pick up line. I don't know why but I like how she's impressed with my skills

Shaira: If i had 3 wishes... being random hah 

You: Im here now whats ur 2 other wishes? 

Shaira: now that ones clever

I grinned slightly. There was nagging feeling at my chest that said this wasn't right, that I had a girlfriend. But I chose to ignore it because Shaira... Lets just say Shaira makes me feel whats te word... wanted?

Shaira: i gtg 

You: Awh 

Shaira: sorry, see u at the fair though c; bye 

Shaira is offline

I found my cheeks tinting pink just by that.

Josh's POV

I groaned slightly again as my phone rang. A part of me wishing it was Kristine so waking up would be worth it.

Kristine: Hi

My whole face lit up as I stood up. My sleepiness long forgotten.
