My Best friend

Chapter 13

(First chapter of my new story is published! I'm so excited to right it more! And this one.)
______________________________________

After we talked, DJ fell asleep on the couch in the living room. I put his hoodie on the arm rest and put a blanket over him. I stood there for a moment, looking at how peaceful he looked. What is this exactly? This feeling?

When I kissed his arms, there was more than a friendly gesture. I didn't even mean for that. It was just there. Is it what I think it is? Could I be..?

No. There's no way that's it. We've been friends forever. I'm just caught up in the moment. Yeah...yeah.

I wait till his grandma to get back. I text my mom and let her know that I'm gonna be home late. I tell her about what happened so she understands. DJ stays asleep for a couple hours. When Nanna gets back, and sees the bandages on his arms, she sighs sadly. Guess she's used to it. Which is pretty sad.

She hugs me and whispers a thank you before gently waking DJ up. As soon as he sees her he cry's again and hugs her tightly saying "I'm so sorry" and "I tried" over and over again. After he calms down and they both stop crying, I say goodbye and head home.

As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out. Today was really exhausting.

(Time skippe to next day)

I walk up to Teri's locker. She smiles at me before closing the door and turning around.

"So," she asks, "what happened last night?". I sigh before quietly telling her everything about yesterday.

"Wow," she whispers, "that's...intense."

"I know," I respond tiredly, "imagine being there... Or being DJ.". I still can't get that look in his eyes out of my head. So broken. So alone.

"Well on the bright side, you proved my theory." Teri says, shaking me out of my thoughts.

"What theory?"

"That you like DJ."

"Whaaat? Pfft, tch, uh, no."

"Come on Kat. It's obvious. Based on what you told me. And I know for a fact that he likes you too."

"And how would you possibly know that?"

"Cause he told me." She shrugs then walks away as the bell rings. I follow her and ask what she mean but she stays quiet all the way to class. She has a smug look on her face. She eventually says she'll tell me more at lunch. I sigh, but agree.

Lunch comes around and Teri is waiting at my locker. I walk over and stand there waiting.

"Okay," she says, "so, one time during lunch while you were in the bathroom, me and the girls were talking about guys we like. Then we asked Ryan who he likes. He said something about us finding out later. Whatever that means. Anyway, so we asked DJ, right? Well he said no one. But we could tell he was hiding something. His face went a little pink. It was adorable."

"So then I leaned over and whispered to him, ' do you like Kathy? '. And he went totally red and looked down and then mumbled a cute little yes! Oh, it was the sweetest thing! I almost squealed in front of everybody!".

She says something else and we head to the cafeteria. But I'm not really paying attention. All I can think about is what she just said. Was that true? As we sit at the table I start noticing how DJ looks over at me once in awhile. He thinks I'm not looking. When he sees me looking, though, he blushes. That confirms it.

DJ Beckett likes me.

And I, Katherine Garcia...

...like DJ...

WE HAVE A CONFESSION! WE HAVE A CONFESSION!

Not to each other but it counts! But who will make the first move? And when will Kathy tell DJ that she likes him too?

Should she risk their friendship changing by telling him? Or will this make it stronger?

Fond out next time I guess!

Until we meet again my friends!
