"Who?" I asked, my heart beating quick. He met someone. Oh my God. Did he already have a crush or someone else he met? Is that why he asked me what we were, and we were just best friends? Oh. My. God.
"You," he said, putting his arm around my waist and leaned me against him.

I definitely, jizzed my pants. The hairs on my arms and legs stood up. Thank you, hairs. I appreciate your standing ovation for me.

"What?" I asked. "Did you say me?"

"Yeah, you," he said. "Turn around, look at me, I need to tell you something,"

I did what he said, turned around and looked at him. He took my hands, leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "I'm in love with you, Eva. Deeply in love with you,"

I looked at him and I lost it. I cried. My crush actually liked me back. Well, maybe because he's the only friend I have, and vice versa.
"I've loved you since I first met you," I said as I hugged him. "But, don't you think we need a little more time? I mean, we've only known each other for a month, and plus our major exams are right around the corner."

"Definitely, yeah, I was thinking the same too,"

"Don't worry, I'll say yes, I promise," I said, as our fingers interlocked.

He took me walking around the garden again. I was so happy that he confessed. We confessed. I mean, all of this is happening too fast. Just about 5 minutes ago, I wanted him to confess, and 5 minutes later he did! I just, couldn't believe. We lay back on the ground and we stared at the sky, again. He took my hand, and stared at my fingers as usual. Draco is obsessed with fingers, I swear. He looked at my fingers, and said, "One day when we're older, I promise you I'll be the man to put a ring around your finger,"

"This is why I love you," I turned to my side, put my legs over him and hugged him tightly. "Draco,"

"Mm?"

"You know what,"

"What?"

"Fuck it, I can't wait until then,"

"Together?" he said, sitting up excitedly.

"Forever," I said, leaning forward, my lips pressed against his. It was the best kiss I ever had. My hands on his chest, my fingers grasping his shoulders. I could feel his breath come and go with mine. Oh, my, God. His lips unlocked from mine.

"Can we get out of here, can we go walk around?" he said as he grabbed my hand and brought me to this forest, which has behind this garden.
"Babe are you mad?" I asked.

"Nope, trust me, it's safe. You'll be safe when I'm around. Maybe."

I laughed and he brought me along this path, which lead to an old looking tree house. It was held up by old pieces of wood. Leaves covered the exterior of the tree house and the door was left ajar, which made it look very creepy. The doorknob was gold and rusty. The colour of the door was pale blue, and the rest of the tree house was a faded green sort of colour. There was a little ladder at the side of the tree house. There were cracks everywhere, and there was a branch beside the tree house. A long sturdy rope hung from the branch and attached to the ends of the ropes was a car tyre.

"This is beautiful," I said.

"It was here since I was a small kid. I discovered this, and I renovated it a little. I painted it and I put a few things in there. It looks really fragile, but trust me, it's pretty strong. This, was where I went after school, when I got beat up, and needed somewhere to cry. This was my sanctuary, I guess," Draco told me as he climbed up the ladder and sat at the doorstep of the tree house. "Trust me, it's safe,"
