My Best Friend or my Boyfriend?

Chapter 8

You woke up to the loud "BANG!" of Mr. Collins slamming a book on your desk. Your blue eyes fluttered open and it took you a minute to realize that you had fallen asleep in class... AGAIN. This was the third time today and it wasn't even lunchtime yet. You pushed a lock of brown hair away from your face. This day just keeps getting worse and worse. After fourth period, you stopped by your locker to get your books. You were just about to head to fifth period when a hand grabbed your shoulder. You quickly spun around. It was Xzander. "Hey. Can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked. "Sure," you said with a slight smile. He grabbed your hand and led you down a series of hallways. "Where are we-" "Shh." He said putting his finger to his lips. "Just trust me." He opened the door to the Janitor's closet. You walked in hesitantly. "Xzander, I really need to get back to class." You pleaded. He shut the door. "We're gonna be tardy and get detention." You told him sternly. "I just needed to apologize again about last night." He said. "I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings. I was just... Scared," "Scared of what?" You giggled. "Xzander, you can tell me anything." You were happy that he wasn't mad at you. "I was scared to tell you that I kissed you because... I-I love you." He said quickly locking eyes with you and then turning his gaze to something else... anything else. You could feel your face get hot and you bit your lip to hide a smile. "I know that you probably don't love me back." He rambled on nervously. "So that's why I didn't tell you in the first-" "Just shut up," you intervened, giggling. Xzander looked down at you, clearly confused. You pulled his face down to yours and kissed him. "I love you too." You said. And you truly meant it. Having a boyfriend is good, having a best friend is better, but now, you have two in one, and that's the best.
