The Crush

Chapter 1

SAMANTHA P.O.V.

It was really hard for Stella , my best friend to get over Sebestian after their break up. We've known Sebestian when he was in 5th standard . Stella was a very good friend of Sebestian where as me i just knew him because he was very popular and a very good friend of my best friend.

When I first met him personally I knew why most of the girls liked him. His tanned body and sharp face was what that made him attractive but his attitude drew girls to him like magnet. Stella introduced us to each other and it was like we clicked immediately. We exchanged our numbers and would talk at late night hours and when I started falling for him , Stella dropped a major bomb on me . Sebastian proposed her and she accepted. I was hurt but I had to be happy for Stella.

After that I maintained my distance from Sebastian because I knew me getting close to him will only hurt me in the end. It was hard for me to see them together so romantically happy but I would just put on a fake smile so no one would notice me getting hurt.
After two years, they broke up and to say that Stella was devastated was an understatement. Sebastian broke up with her because she told him that his friend Jay was an ass . Wasn't it a silly reason?

I thought that too and I would've beaten the shit out of him but Stella told me he was not worth it and so here I was consoling her that it was fine.

"It's fine Stell he's not worthy of your tears and its his lost not yours. You're one of the most beautiful, intelligent, kind and funny girl ever!" I tried to encourage her but she just cried harder.
'What should I do?' I thought and soon thought of an idea.
"Hey Stell do you want to eat ice cream?" I grinned because I knew she can't decline that.
She nodded and I smiled at her. She got up and went into the bathroom. I heard a small shriek and laughed slowly knowing that she did it because she saw her face. She came outside looking much better and changed into shorts and a normal black tee shirt. I hugged her and then we left her house to go to our favourite ice cream shop.

We were having our fourth cup of ice cream and Stella was much better now. She was smiling and told me that Sebstian was an ass and she'll get over him in some days.

I was happy to see her strong side but I'll definitely confront Seb tomorrow for doing this to her and maybe I'll slap the shit out of him for fucking this beautiful relationship up and for hurting my best friend.

The next day we got ready and left together for school in my car. Stella lived only 5 blocks away from my house so we were always there for each other in times of emergency.

"Am I looking fine?", she asked me bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Yes other than those red puffy eyes you look beautiful" I smiled at her and she gave me a small smile. I was happy to see her making progress but I know it still hurts her.

When we reached the school, people were already whispering about their break up.
Perks of being an ex of Mr. Popular. I look at Stella and it looked like she was about to cry again so I grabbed at her hand to tell her that I'll always be there for her no matter what!

We went inside and I immediately spotted Sebastian sitting with his best friends Sean and Yale. Yale was my ex. We just realised that we're better as friends.
Stella had English class while I had biology class with Seb so I guess I'll be talking to him in the class.
I gave her a hug and wished her good luck and she did the same before we departed in our separate classes.

When I entered the class, it was nearly empty, only Seb and some other students.
I went straight to where Seb was sitting and sat beside him. He looked at me and shrugged as if he knew what I was gonna talk about.

It was hard for me to talk to him because my feelings for him never changed but I had to do it for Stell.

"Hey Seb. I know you know what I want to talk about so let's get straight to the poi-" I started but was interrupted by him.
"I don't want to talk to you." He said in a deep voice and dismissed me.
I again tried to talk to him but the teacher entered the class so I went to sit at my fixed place. He started the class by telling us about our body parts and I soon found myself getting lost in my own dream.

After the class was finished I again tried to talk to Seb but he ignored me and exited the class.
For the rest of the day I didn't see him. After the school got over, Stella and me had a sleep over at my place.
