7 YEARS LATER

I wake up doing my usual routine:

- wake up

- get ready for the day

- talk to Kenny

-sleep

Me and Kenny have been best friends for 7 years. I could tell him anything. People ask if we're together. But I don't think of him that.

I go to the bathroom to get ready. I put on a crop top with lace in the front and covered in the back. I put on American Eagle skinny jeans and some spares. I decide to wand my hair, but it usually never stays in. I have to put more than a half of a bottle of hair spray. I put on some mascara and head for the bus stop.

I'm out at the bus and it's already going down.

"Hey Beth" he says as I'm walk towards him. He has called me that since we were little it would be weird if he called me 'Bethany'.

"Hey Kenny" I reply as usual.

"You know we have that exam today?" He said with a grin.

" I totally forgot!!" I said upset. Good thing I had a big breakfast. I had 3 pancakes, grits, eggs, and bacon with orange juice. Dang. I eat a lot.

"Did you hear that I'm going into the gifted program?!?!" He said with excitement.

"Oh my gosh I'm so proud of you!" I say with joy. I'm advanced, not gifted. But I really am happy for him. He never gets this excited.

He was about to reply but got interrupted but the bus. We hop on and sit together, as usual. We always get smart comebacks, but we don't care. We're always made fun of, but we don't care. We're best friends and nobody can stop that.

"So I think I like this one guy..." I say. I'm not afraid to say embarrassing things to him. We're best friends. We tell each other everything. He's one of my only friends. We may not have a lot of friends, but we still have each other.

"Oh" he said in a large breath as he pulls up his suspenders. He always wears suspenders, I don't think I've ever seen him without.

"Wanna play truth or truth?" He says with joy, irrupting my train of thought.

"Umm sure." We always play this game, it gets a little old but I mean there's noting else to do.

"What about would you rather?" I suggest.

"That works too." He says with a warm smile.

"Would you rather..." I start off. "Would you rather sleep with a wild tiger or go to jail for two days?" I say with a giggle.

"Ummmm..... " he says with blushed cheeks. "Tiger" he says.

" would you rather go out with an ugly guy for a long time or lose me as a friend?" He says with a smirk.

" lose you as a friend oh definitely" I joke. "I'm kidding, you know I would chose the ugly guy" I made to seem like it was no big deal. Losing him out a friend would be like peanut butter without jelly. Like chicken without nugget. Like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. I love him. What??

He looks at me with a smile. His has the cutest smile ever. Even though he's my best friend, he is really cute. I don't like him like that though. I would never.

He's skimming through his snake book. "Did you know the medicine to cure a snake bite is its venom?" He says, his eyes glued to his book.

"I actually didn't know that." I say in shock.

I guess we just stopped would you rather.

The bus arrived and the bell was so close to ringing. I really don't want to go to class, I have a stupid exam. Ugh.

" good luck on your exam" he shouts as he's walking away.

"Thanks! You too!" I shout as I turn around with a frown.
