We are friends, have been friends for years, but it's so much more to me. I like him, I might be in love with him. Our friendship has changed, we have changed. From friends to best friends; from plain friendship to acting like we are a couple. Does he see it? I don't know, but I know what I feel.

It was 7:50 in the morning. We are all standing outside the school at the bus loop. I was sitting with my friends Ashleigh, Walker, Patrick, Vicky, Bruce, Amber, William, Bree, Hannah, Krista, Philip, Lendell, Cindy, and Mckayla. We were talking and laughing, just having a good time. We were just playing around and goofing off, just being our crazy selves; when Bruce asked me to talk.

Everyone stopped and looked between us. I got up from where I was sitting, following Bruce away from the table. I could feel everyone's eyes on us as we stopped at the sidewalk, near an brick wall.

I leaned against the wall and looked at him. " What do you want to talk about Bruce? "

I stood in front of him, waiting for him to answer. I swear to God if this is going to be like before, with me trying to get him to talk, I'm going to lose it. I am getting sick of him wanting to talk, then not talking. I'm tired of trying to get a full sentence out of him. He wanted to talk, he's going to talk, or I'm walking away.

" Damn it! Bruce, if you don't start talking, I'm going to walk away. " I said frustrated. When I still don't get an answer, I went to walk away and he pushed me back.

" I wanted to talk about us. "

" So now you decide to talk. Surprising! "

" Funny! " he said gripping my hand gently and entwining our fingers together. I felt sparks shoot from my hand and up my arm, making me gasp.

" I wanted to talk about us. " he repeated

" What about us? We are friends, so there's nothing to talk about. "

" I think you know it's a little more than that. " He runs his hands over the exposed skin of my arms and I shiver at his touch.

" What do you mean? " I whisper.

" You know damn well what I mean. " he grips my waist firmly and gently pushes me against the wall behind me. " I'm tired of hiding my feelings. "

My eyes locked with his. They shine as they stare into mine and a small smile comes to my face. His eyes seem to shine with a happiness that I have never seen before. We hold the stare and it's like I'm staring into his soul or something.

" I like you Cat, I like you a lot. " He whispers in my ear. I shiver as his breath fans over my ear and neck and I suck in a sharp breath. Once I realized what he said, I blush a slight pink and looked down. His finger comes under my chin and wills me to stare into his eyes. " Don't look away from me Cat. "

With that he crashed his lips into mine, with a gentle yet passionate filled kiss and I responded, wrapping my arms around his neck.

I could barely gasp for air as we parted.

" I love you Cat. " he kissed the corner of my lips.

" I love you too. " I whispered.

He pulled me into another passionate kiss, pulling me closer to him. I could feel myself melting into him. All I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the rush of blood through her veins.

" Oh my god. " We heard as we broke apart. We turned around to see the shocked faces of our friends. No one said a word, their was nothing but silence.

Ashleigh was the first to speak. " it's about damn time. " She came up to me and hugged me.

" You think. " Walker said, coming up to congratulate us.

Everyone came up one by one to congratulate us. I looked over at Bruce when he wrapped his arms around me, just realizing... I'm happy, I am where I'm suppose to be.
