Philophobia;

12 years old

Katie took my words and hid them just like I had asked her to.

Philophobia;fear of falling in love.

The thing is I had no fear to fall in love it just that I had fallen so hard and it was for my bestfriend.

It's kinda impossible to just to watch Brennan and Layla's relationship grow and expand to the point where I actually feel like someone has just stabbed me in the back.

It's a Monday so that means I'm staying at Brennan's tonight which I am pumped about.

"Mom made sure to get you some waffles last night when she got the food"Brennan laughed leaning on the locker beside mine.

"She knows me so well"I smile at him.

"And I know you better"He smiles back

"Prove it"I stubbornly say with a slight sarcastic chuckle peeping through.

"I don't have to,your like an open book"He laughs

"Oh"I sigh and shut my locker and begin to walk off.

"Annie wait!"Brennan yell catching up to me

"I didn't mean to offend you in anyway"He says as he stood in front of me.

"No it's fine I just don't really want to be an open book right now"I nod

"Oh,wanna talk about it?"Brennan asks

"No"I simply reply.

We walked over to our lunch tables and sat down.Layla and Nick hadn't arrived yet.

"Annie?"Brennan asks in a nervous tone.

"Mm"I say digging into my food

"Would you care if I asked Layla out on a date"My heart skipped around 10 beats and I stopped,the food that I had once been chewing had even fallen out off my mouth my jaw hung so low.

"No?"He sighs

"I don't care"I smile.

Around two seconds after my reaction my head pounded.I just said yes for Layla and Brennan to go on a date,what am I doing.

I went to go speak but just in time Layla and Nick had taken their usual seats and the show was on a roll;once again.

And within 5 minutes Brennan had just scored himself his first date,but that first date wasn't me.
