*skip to summer before 6 grade*
Hope pov
well soon we will be six graders i can believe it.it seems like just yesterday we were starting school.as the school years go on me and James were getting closer.We were in my living room talking bout what we heard six grade was like."hey hope." "yes James?" "lets make a promise." Ok what kind of promise?":a promise that we keep with us forever."I smiled big."ok whats the promise?" "lets promise no matter how school is different from what we been through we should promise that it will never change us."I nodded knowing it would never change me."Ok i like that promise lets do it."we did our promise shake and then laugh at how silly our shake is.We then ran out side and play with each other.We ran thought the woods to go our secret tree house we use to play in when we were little.Yes i said use to be little.I grew up more I'm only 2 feet down from everyone one else in our class.We climb up our tree house and look at the sunset go down."i love sunsets."i said."yeah me too."We then look at each other in the eyes and smile.Soon we were both leaning in and....we kissed.I felt the spark the explosion every thing.I felt so happy.I cant believe it I'm kissing James.Sure we are best friends but i started getting feelings for him in 2nd grade.I love James David Maslow.there i said it and i don't care if he is my best friend,but i cant tell him.I don't want to ruin our friendship we have.We then slowly pulled away and i quickly look down at my hands."i better go."Mom probably want me to help her with dinner."he said.I nodded ."yeah i got to go too i got homework."I climb down and waited for him.We both walk back together. I walked with him to my door and he gently kiss my cheek."thanks for hanging out with me." i said.He nodded and walk to his door.I walked in and smile big.I sighed with love."whats the matter sweetie some boy caught your heart."said my mom.I jumped up high.Hi mom ..umm no just had fun that's all. she smile and patted a seat next to me on the couch.I went and sat next to her."sweetie i know that sigh any where and also that face.""you love him don't you?"I nodded and smile."please don't tell him.""i don't want him to know." i said."i wont but some day you will have to tell him cuz a girl can just grab him and take him away from you."I was shock and upset.I nodded."i know mom I'm just afraid it will ruin our friendship.""he is my only friend mom.""i don't want to lose that."oh sweetie you wont lose that cuz deep down i know he is feeling the same way for you.""just tell him." I nodded. I will mom soon."good now lets go eat." "hey mom?" "yes darling?" "Me and James where in the tree house and we... we kissed." She smiled big."an how was it?" "i was amazing.""i felt sparks and explosions going off." "there you see you love him and you two were made for each other."I smile big knowing she is right.I just wonder if he felt the same.
James pov
we were on the couch and talking then we made a promise.I just know we wont break it.We then headed outside to play like we usually do.We ran to our tree house and got up.He watch the sunset go down."i love sunset".she said.I agreed with her."yeah me too."We then looked in each other eyes and smile.We slowly lean in and kiss.It felt amazing.I loved it so much.To be honest with you i loved hope since we started school.She just so small and beautiful.She makes me so happy.I just hate when people are so mean to her like when just throw the blue paint at her.Ill do anything to protect her and make her happy.We pulled away.I look at her and saw how nervous she was.I was afraid i made her upset.i panic."i better go."Mom probably want me to help her with dinner."she then said she had to too.I let her go down first then i got down.I walk her to her door and kiss her softly on the cheek.I saw her smiled and i smiled back.I then walk to my door and got in.I help my mom set the table and thought to my self.Did hope have the same feeling i had back? should i tell her i love her and how that kiss meant to me.I kept answering myself saying no i cant tell her.I couldn't ruin my friends ship with her.sure i had other friends but hers is special to me she was my first ever best friend.She is my bestest friend.
