The Girl With Two Minds

Chapter 2

It was friendship's day! I had brought a lot of gifts and bands to school, some for my new friends and some for the old friends. Everyone had a smile on their faces while giving and receiving presents. Klara, Sarah, Lissa and I had decided to party after school that day. My day was going pretty well until Theo, the most good looking guy of our batch walked up to me.

"Happy friendship's day, umm.... I know we aren't friends but how about giving it a shot?" He said handing over a cute ring. I was spell bound, I tried to say 'yes that sounds good' but I believe my exact words were "umm uh-uuh yeeahhhh" he smiled at me and went back to his classroom

It took me some minutes to realise what had just happened. Theo Carson just asked me to be his friend! Omg I was on cloud 9, it was like a dream come true! All the girls were drawn to his adorable smile and dark eyes then why did he choose me? Did he want something from me? Or was it just that he wants to make new friends? All this was going through my mind but the joy of receiving a ring from Theo was overpowering all these thoughts

I rushed to my class but this time with a smile. As soon as I reached class I greeted Johnathan with a smile, he walked up to me and wished me with a weird kind of tension on his face. "Everything cool?" I asked. "There's.. There's actually something I wanted to tell you but please don't overreact to this" he said nervously "sure, go ahead". Silence fell between us for a minute until he finally spoke " I love you and I don't want to be just friends anymore" he didn't wait for my reaction, without wasting a second he turned away and started walking bristly, he exited the classroom as if I was gonna ask Mike Tyson to punch him in the throat

I was left confused. Johnathan was my best friend, the guy who I could be stupid with, the guy who heard me out when I got cranky, the one who could hear me rant all day and was one of the very few who actually cared. I didn't know what to do about what he said. I just went and sat on my place.

After a few minutes Johnathan returned and sat down next to me "hey I'm sorry if I came out a little weird earlier but I just wanted you to know it" he said, calmly this time. I didn't exactly know how to react so I just shook my head.

During lunch when I narrated the entire Johnathan incidence to my friends they all thought that I should say yes cause there was no guy who understood me like him. I was convinced by their reasons but I didn't want to spoil anything between me and Johnathan cause after all he did mean a lot to me. I decided to say yes. This was going to be my first relationship, but was I ready for this? My first relationship with my best friend??

I caught up with Johnathan in the library, he was standing near the comics section holding three books in hand. I walked up to him and said "decide on one you kiddo". With a confused look he replied " But they're all so good". I shut my eyes and picked one of them for him. "You're cool, that's a really awesome comic. thanks, I love you" he said out of excitement. Silence fell between us for a long time..once again. He broke the awkward silence after a few minutes "guess I shouldn't be saying that anymore. I'm sorry" he said as his face fell with embarrassment and despair. "Guess it's time for me to say it now" I said to him. It took him a few minutes to absorb what I had just said. His eyes lit up with joy "what, really?" He asked still unable to believe it. "Yes of course I need someone to do my homework without complaining right?" I said as we both started laughing.

My life was about to change, not sure in a good way or not but it was going to change. I was 15 and I had just gotten into my first relationship today. It was unbelievable yet frightening. I didn't know what was coming next but all I knew right now was that I needed a cozy and long nap.
