I Fell In Love With My Best Friend

Chapter 4

Sarah Pov

I told both, Al and Mike, bye and then went to get ready. And as I did so the same girls from before came up to me.

"You should stop hanging out with Jasmine's boyfriend. He's her's. So stop." One of them said. The same girl who always started the conversation was blond and the other on had black hair.

"And who is that? And who is she dating?" I said confused.

"You know the most popular girl in school and Mike." The girl with the black hair said.

"Sorry I can't stop hanging out with my best and only friend." I said.

"You have Al so leave him alone. I know you and Mike flirt a lot. I've seen you guys hold hands under the table." The blond girl said.

"Forget it. I don't have time for this." I said walking away.

"You better walk away." The girl with the black hair said.

"That's what I'm doing." I said.

I walked out to role call. I was to tired for anything. I see Mike and he saw me. He walked over to me and said, "Are you going to stop hanging out with him?"

"I don't know he might be my only friend if people stop threatening me." I said a little irritated.

"For what? And by who?" He said shocked.

"By some people telling me to stop hanging out with you. And that's really none of your business." I said still irritated.

"I'm asking as a friend."

"Just forget it."

After school I walked home. I got a text from Al.
(A-Al, S-Sarah)

A- Heyyy
S-hey. What's up.
A-Nothing much
A-Wbu
S-just got home. Going to draw in a lil bit.
A-Mind if I come over and draw with u
S-not at all.
A-k. Be there in a bit.
S-Kk

I changed into a croptop with a sweater over me and some rip jeans. I went downstairs and got a snack. My mom is really heathy. So we have limited junk food. I grab some baby carrots and got some ranch. After a while I remember my mom was going to take me and Mike somewhere. She was in her room getting ready. I quickly texted Mike to come over for us to go. I run upstairs to ask my mom if Al can come.

"Hey mom can I invite another person?" I asked.

"Sure. Who?" My mom said.

"He's on his way." I said going downstairs.

"Alright." She said.

The doorbell rang and I open it to see Al. He hugged me and I asked him if he wanted to come for dinner. He said yes and after a while Mike came. He hugged me and saw Al there. He glared at Al and Al did the same.

"Why is he here?" Mike asked angry.

"Because I invited him." I said.

"Why?"

"Because..."

"Because why?"

"Leave it alone my mom is here."

"Fine."

My mom walked down and I introduced Al. He was so formal. We got in the car. I sat in the back with the boys. I was in the middle so they won't fight. When we got there and Al barely noticed what I was wearing and blushed like crazy. I blushed a little too but then Mike saw. He got angry and grabbed my hand. My mom got us a table. We ordered drink. I sat by Al since he doesn't know my mom that well and if Mike sat next to him it won't end good.

We ordered our drinks. I got a lemonade. Mike got a sprit. My mom got a water. Al got water too. We sat and talked. Getting to know each other better but Mike keeps glaring at Al. After a while we ordered our food. The waitress who looked in her teenage years still, probably a year older then us, keep looking at Al and Mike. I didn't let it bother me. But my mom told Mike about it.

"No I can't date anyone right now." Mike responded.

"Why?" She asked confused.

"I have a girlfriend." Mike said happily. My heart shattered a little bit but how can it be shattered if it wasn't even there. Al saw this and asked to speak to me real quick. My mom congratulate Mike and they continued talking.

We walked outside where there was a fresh breeze. "Hey. Are you ok?" Al asked a bit worried.

"Ya. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.

"Because you seemed down in there." Al said looking at me.

"I think I'm getting sick." I lied.

"You sure." He asked concerned.

"Ya." I said.

"Ok. Just letting you know. I'm here for you." He said still worried.

"And thank you for that." I said smiling.

"We should head back." He said opening the door for me.

"Thanks." I said.

We walked back to the table with Mike giving Al a death stare. We finished and payed. My mom dropped everyone off. We got inside. I changed into my pj's. I wore a croptop with some pajama pants. I helped my mom straighten up the place before going to bed.

"That boy, Al. He's very nice. I like him. How'd you guys meet?" She asked picking up my books.

"He started talking to me in art class." I said.

"It looks like he likes you." She said. I started blushing a little bit.

"No. We're just friends." I say.

"Hmmmm. Didn't seem like it. He kept staring at you." She said.

"Goodnight mom." I said going to my room.

I went on my phone until I got a text from Al. Speak of the devil. I thought.

A- Heyyy. Thanks for tonight had fun. Ur mom is awesome. And remember I'm here for u.
S-ur welcome and i did too. And thxs for trying to help. Gn.
(Gn is Goodnight)
A-Goodnight.

I turned off my phone and went to sleep remembering I have school tomorrow.
