I miss her.

She was always on my mind but I could never really talk to her, only stare. After that first day she started coming over more and staying longer each time. We barely said anything to each other those times, but I always wanted to walk her home. Rose always hung out with my sisters and, I admit, no matter how hard I tried not to be, I was jealous. I wanted her all to myself.

I was a grade ahead of her, my freshman year of high school, and two years older than her. She liked my sister and I knew that, but it hurt so I tried to forget her.

When Rose came over I stayed in my room. It didn't make a difference, she was always in there with my sister since we shared a room. Occasionally, I locked myself in the bathroom and cried when she was there, it happened more after she left.

Why can't she like me?

Those were the times that I first realized I didn't want her as a friend.

I wanted her to be my girlfriend.

Rose is here.

I answered the door since my mom was doing something in the kitchen and we went upstairs to my room.

"My sisters aren't here," I told her, "but you can wait for them here." She was making me nervous again.

What is she doing to me?

I laid on my bed trying to ignore the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. She sat on my sister's bed across from me. I acted like I was on my phone when really I was looking at her.

She's so beautiful.

"Do you wanna play truth or dare?" She was looking at me and I put my phone down and sat up. "Okay," I said. She was really cute. Her eyes looked hopeful and I couldn't help but smile.

She had an app for the game. After a few rounds there was a dare, put your hand in another player's pants for ten seconds. "Come here," she said. I looked at her kind of confused. She hadn't said what her dare was, but I got up anyway and stood in front of her. She put her right hand in my gray sweatpants lightly touching my inner thigh.

I tried not to bite my lip or make any noise because that turned me on. Rose looked up at me then took her hand out of my pants. I knew I was blushing. I couldn't believe what had just happened but what shocked me was that I didn't want her to stop. I wanted her to touch me more.
