My Bestfriend

13

Nick and Layla;

12 years old

"Finally"I mumble to Brennan who sat beside me as the lunch bell rang.

I grabbed my tray and held it out for what I wanted.

I sat down beside Brennan while Nick and Layla say I front of us.

Nick was your usual sporty type of guy,tall,tanned,muscular,dirty brown hair;all that jazz

Layla was your oh so polite kind of girl,Blonde,pretty,average hight.

Nick and Layla are cousins so you would hear little arguments here and there.

We were a tight little group but Brennan and I were the ones who brought them with us.

Nick and Brennan were good water polo buddies and Layla would always hang around with me when we were at gym.

Today was a lazy day for me.It included messy buns,tights and a adidas jumper.

As I played with my food conversations around the table were thrown around.

"Annie are you okay,you have my touched your food or talked once"Brennan asks lightly putting his hand on my shoulder.

I would be lying if I said I was okay.I mean don't get me wrong I love both Brennan and Layla but between them I think something will happen,deep inside my stomach I could feel a pit of sadness as my brain clicked to the thought of me losing Brennan to one of my friends.I knew that I wanted him in my life like that ever since I was eight and they meet probably 6 months ago and already have a chance but my answer to Brennan tuned out to be a simple "Yes"

"I could walk you to the nurse if you want"Nick gestures white his mouth full.

"No"I quickly say as if it was life or death.

They all gave me strange looks including Brennan.I wasn't going to leave them alone.

"I mean I'm good"I sigh and look back down at my food blocking out all the looks I would be getting from them and continue to swirl my fork around.

Maybe I should let Brennan be happy and stop making it all about me.
