Sabrina's POV

I was saving all the strength I've had since I was born, I may be planning on not telling him and not talking to him forever but I know he'll put up a great fight.

I arrived at the school with my big brother, corey and had my first classes with him too. I was overwhelmed because I thought it was going to be so easy not until lunch came.

I went to the cafeteria with Corey and we both saw Pey running towards us. I took a deep breath.

"Hey, Corey. Can I borrow her?" He asked and Corey looked at me smiling and he nodded. Corey why?! I see Corey went seperate ways with us.

"Sab, are we okay?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah." I responded blankly.

"Can I come to your house later so we can talk?" He asked for permission.

"I have so many home works and projects to do, maybe next time?" I fake smiled.

He held my hands and pulled me somewhere private.

"Sab, we are not okay. I never borrow you from someone, I never ask for permission to go to your home which is also my home, you were always talking to me and not avoiding me. It has only been weeks, what is happening to us?"

"I'm sorry, pey. I'm just busy." That was my excuse, not really a smart one.

"That too! You were never too busy for your bestfriend. You would always allow your bestfriend to hangout with you at your house even with all the stuff you have to do because you know I'll help you if you need my help. Is this about me and Rowan?"

He asked the question that can easily break my heart. It was always me and sab, now it's different.

"No, I just don't want Corey to be jealous of us." I don't know why I said that. It's like my tongue won't say anything else but that.

I started walking away to the cafeteria to go eat lunch but I heard something I never thought I'll hear.

"I hope you're happy." My heart just crushed, I ran towards Corey and ask him if we could already go to our class, he nodded and I took his hand and pulled to him out the cafeteria and inside the room. No one was there, so I started talking and told him everything that happen.

"I do love you, Sab. But you're my sister." He joked and we both laugh. It's my first time laughing today.

"I'm really sorry, Corey." I apologized trying to smile.

"You know, you're really obvious." He told me and I got confused.

"You really like him. That's so cute." He said and patted my head.

"What?" I said in the most confusing face I have.

"You like your best friend, it's okay, I won't tell." He said and I just smiled.

"No, that's not true." I admitted and he smirked.

"I don't just like him, I think I love him." He smiled as I say those words.

"You cleared up that you don't just like him, you obviously love him, no doubt about it." We both smiled.

"You know love more than I do, does it come with a story?" I asked. Yes, of course I was curious.

"You trusted me with yours so I'll trust you with mine. I just can't tell you her name yet. Fine with you?" He asked and I approved.

"Okay, there was a new girl in my class, 8th grade, she was the prettiest girl I've ever seen. No one talks to me in class, basically because they thought I'm a nerd, well with the body I had that time and no glow up yet, I understood them. Yet, this one particular girl talks to me, not because she wanted to ask me to do her homework, project or anything beneficial. She asked for my name, I told her, and she said 'Hi, Corey!'. I went blank, I've never loved the sound of my name so much. That day, our friendship began. I didn't care if anyone calls me anything because I knew someone accepted me for who I am. I started courting her, never took advantage of her. I wanted her to see how serious I am. I loved her. Year-end party came, my friend told me my girl, technically not yet, was talking to the most popular jock in school. I felt that instant that I was gonna lose her, my heart got crushed. I drank too many beers. I was so drunk and I got home. The day after she told me she got her first kiss with the biggest smile on her face, I was so angry, I told her to never talk to me again. I might be quite young that time but I knew I love her. I basically never talked to anyone until you asked for my album." He smiled.

"I just felt my heart crushed." I told him directly.

"It's okay it was a long time ago." He comforted.

"You still love her?" I asked him smiling.

"I don't really know." He responded.

"What I do know is when you're too slow you might miss the chance of a lifetime." He smiled.

"For a guy just months older than me, You give advice like a grandpa." I joked and he laughed.

"Let me guess, you're not telling him because you don't want to ruin his new relationship?" He asked, he's good.

"You really are smart." I complimented him.

"Just don't get too hurt or I might hurt him... Just kidding! You should've seen your face, pumpkin!" We both laughed until the bell rang and people started arriving including the teacher.

The day went like a race car, fast. I'm so happy I have Corey especially at a time like this.

I hope you forgive me, Pey.
