The Secret's Out

Chapter 2

Driving down the road, I thought about my dream and why it keeps happening. Maybe it's my conscience trying to tell me something... Though it could be trying to tell me something else but if so, I just couldn't figure out what. A thought crossed my mind, but I quickly dismissed it. I mean after all, who would be crazy enough to like their best friend? Or even crazier, who would be crazy enough to like me back? Exactly my point. There is nobody on this green Earth that could love a freak like me, but that's just my opinion.

Thinking back to the day I first met Liliana, I smile. It was the first day of kindergarten and I had just moved here with my mom and my little sister Addilyn (Addy for short), who was only a couple months old at the time. My mom dropped me off at school, but I didn't want to leave her side. That is until I saw a cute redhead with the most beautiful olive green eyes I'd ever seen. I let go of my mom and I felt.... I don't know, I guess you could say I was attracted to her like a magnet to a paper clip. In that instant I knew I wanted her to be my best friend.

I started walking towards her, almost like a robot at first. Like I had no control over my body and I didn't know who did. But when I was about 6 feet away from her, my senses came back to me. I kind of stopped short and debated if I really wanted to get to know this girl. My heart won over my brain and I had to go for it. Better to do it now then later, right?

Since she had turned around since then and had her back to me, I tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and it was like slow motion, her hair flew over her shoulder and she turned ever so slowly. When she was finally facing towards me, my breath caught in my throat. She was even more beautiful up close then she had been from about ten to fifteen feet away. I knew I had to say something but I didn't think I could get the words out.

She smiled, almost like she knew what I wanted to say. To my surprise she actually talked to me first! "Hi! I don't think I've seen you around before, so you must be new!" She gave a big grin and hugged me which took me by complete surprise, "I'm Liliana, but you can just call me Lilly. I know we're gonna be the bestest friends".

From that day on we spent any time we could together. We were practically inseparable from that moment. She would come over to my house and I would go over to hers as well. Our moms got along really nice and they also became best friends. Just like me and Lilly had! Ugh, but if I keep thinking about it I'm going to be late. And we all know what happens when you're late......

Detention.
