Rileys POV:
I go over to my locker to get my books for class. I see James comming towards me. He opens his locker to get his things.
There is an akward silence. Since James tried to kiss me last night, things have been kinnda akward. Im not mad at him or anything, its just akward.
He looks at me.
'Riley. About last night. I never meant to try and kiss you'
'James. Its fine. Really. Im cool with it. You made a mistake. Im not mad at you if thats what you think'
'I just dont want this to ruin what we have'
'James were best friends. And thats not going to change. What happened is no big deal. So dont even worry about it'
I walk off.
I really amnt bothered by it. It was a mistake. I get. I meant nothing. Right?
James POV:
I sigh as she walks off.
'Hey bro. Are you okay?' Eldon and West who are my two friends ask.
'Yeah. Im just a bit pre-occipied'
'With what'
'I...um...I nearly kissed Riley last night'
'Wow. Okay. And what did she say?'
'She says shes cool with it. But Im not sure'
'Well do you like her? As more than a friend?'
'I...I dont know man'
'Well if you nearly kissed her, there must be something there'
'Honestly Im just really confused right now'
They nod.
'Youll work it out'
West pats me on the shoulder and walks off with Eldon.
I look over at Riley, who is talking with a bunch of girls.
Maby their right. Maby I do like Riley. I wouldnt have tried to kiss her otherwise. But that cant be true. All this time Ive been saying I dont like her and that we will never be anything more.
Im just not sure what Im feeling right now.
Rileys POV:
'What do you mean he nearly kissed you!' Michelle says.
'Shhhh! Keep your voice down! I dont want him to hear!'
'I knew he liked you! I knew it!'
'Michelle. Just because he nearly kissed me, doesnt mean he likes me. It was a mistake and we both agreed on it. Its all in the past'
'Are you sure? Cause James seems very down'
I look over at him and see him sitting down with his head in his hands.
'Im sure hes fine. He just need to process it. Thats all'
She looks at me.
'If your sure'
I nod.
'I know I always ask you this, but this time I want a straight answer'
I sigh, knowing what shes going to ask.
'Do you have feelings for James?'
I put my head down.
'No I dont. We're only friends'
'Is that your heart speaking? Or your head? Cause by the way you two look at eachother, thats not the kind of look two friends would give eachother. Its the kind of look that two people who secretly like eachother would give. Just think about it'
She then walks off.
Theres no way I like James. Hes my friend and thats all. I cant like him that way.
Can I?
