ok this is the day when  jen and calum met!!!! fetus flashback.

---

"a bruise? from what?" she asked, her finger begging to poke the purple spot. i looked down at my untied converse, my thumb running over the bruise.

"calum." she said, jumping off the swing set.

"if we are going to be best friends you have to tell me!" she whined.

"who said i wanted to be your best friend?" i said, hopping off my swing and heading over to the monkey bars.

"i see it in your eyes!" she said, smiling. i saw her tooth missing and i remembered her bragging about it in show and tell.

jen was really cool!

i smiled back, climbing on top. she followed me and we sat there. jen told me what was going on in her world, what she got for christmas and her favorite show to watch. i told her that i didn't get anything for christmas but a pack of m&ms and she had a fit!

we giggled and poked each other until the teachers blew the whistle to go back to our classrooms.

from that day forward... jen was my best friend. and i was completely okay with that.

i smiled back at the pictures of me and jen from prom. we went as friends, everybody knew that. but the truth is that i loved the way her body fit in that dress, the way her makeup was perfectly done and her smile was shining brighter than any of the lights in this smelly gym.

my eyes were closed and hers were open, staring at me. her hand was placed on her hip while my arms were snaked around her. god, i miss this beautiful day.

"she liked you calum." della said from behind me, her hands wrapping against my waist.

"what makes you think that?" i said, my smile growing bigger.

della placed her finger on jens face, pointing to her eyes.

"she has a glint in them. the same glint you have.." she said, her breath hitting my ear. my heart shook at the thought of jen liking me back and me never knowing. but i still love jen no matter what, she will always be my best friend.
