Whilst walking , I noticed that Ron was looking at my shoes.
"Damn Adria , back at it again with the white Vans!" He said in the damn Daniel guy's voice. He put his hands in his pockets while he kept snickering like a child.
"Whatever Ron. That's so old." I said , lightly punching him in the shoulder.
He put an arm around me , and I was startled for a bit , but then relaxed after a while. Do i like Ron? My mom tells me that I might end up with Ron when I get married. I mean , there's totally nothing wrong about that. It's just that I like another person. The gut feeling I get around Jay has a big difference between what I have with Ron. I looked at him bewilderedly and examined his facial features. His ebony hair danced along with the wind and he smiled showing off his pearly white teeth. His laugh was comforting, happy and content. His eyes has a hazel brown color, and he had these intricate lines underneath his eyes. which gave me the opportunity to see beyond the windows of his soul. He's my bestfriend.
It didn't take a while until we reached 7-eleven. All he asked for was doughnut , and I got myself a drink.
As cliche as it sounds , we went to the park and enjoyed our cravings on our usual spot. It was silent for a while. Dead air. All I ever did was stare blankly at my atmosphere. Wanting to feel that thought of everything disappearing around you and all you see is a field of sun flowers. Where the wind would would dance with your hair , going crazy. Where your eyes is so full of wonder , where all you saw was beauty.
But nah , I couldn't. It was hard.
"Hey ..uhm.. Ron?" I asked , my breath escaping , not knowing what to say.
"Yeah?" He says , munching on all of those donuts.
I looked up to the sky and asked , "Do you think he likes me back?"
I haven't seen Ron's reaction , but I knew he flinched. I know he did. I kept looking at that sky , waiting and hoping for the right answer to come out.
"Honestly Adria.." I feel the hesitance in his voice, he wants to tell me something he couldn't. "I think the way he treats you is far from the way he treats Candice. I don't even know what you see in him." I didn't move nor flinch. That was the answer I needed. Sadly , I needed the truth. Ron shifted , now looking down at the ground beneath him. He didn't give me the lies everybody else would have given. He was the only person I could turn to. Slowly , as if time did slow down for at least more than a second , I gave my best friend the hugged that he deserves.
"You're the best friend I've ever had." I murmured.
"Bestfriend? I thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend , remember?" He chuckled.
I smacked the back of his head almost making it bleed.
"WHO SAID WE WERE A COUPLE ?!" I shouted , throwing him a kick.
"Well remember , in kindergarten , you said the lines " Ron , when we grow up , we should be boyfriend and girlfriend!" He says mocking my voice.
"That was in Kinder!" I shouted , pouting at his cockiness. He just laughed , and didn't say any reply. I continued drinking on my Slurpee , completely ignoring Ron's ignorance.
