I stopped walking and closed my eyes, revelling in the beauty of summer- the warm breeze caressing my skin, the sound of children's laughter as they played and the sweet taste of freedom from school.
I love summer but the best thing about it is exactly what I was about to do now- see my best friends.
Technically I don't care much about seeing Rachel. I love her but I care more about seeing my other best friend, my oldest friend and the boy I'm in love with -Sean.
I know it sounds hopelessly cliche, the girl-likes-best-friend-who-doesn't-like-her-back sorta thing, but I know that he's in love with me too. I found out last summer.
We were going to his house after just seeing the movie, Moana (I had to beg and then threaten him for hours before he agreed to watch such an "unmanly movie").
We were talking about Moana as got to his block when rain suddenly started falling. We ran to his house, drenched, laughing and playing in the rain like little children.
I know this is also cliche but there's more - I slipped and almost fell but he held my waist and helped me up. He didn't let go but gave me a long heated gaze that melted my insides and made my heart do somersaults.
And then he stared at my lips! I couldn't believe he wanted to kiss me! My first kiss!!A swarm of butterflies filled my stomach and I forgot how to breathe.
Sean leaned in but just as our lips were about to meet, Aunt Chloe, Sean's mum interrupted. I was so disappointed, I had to use all my willpower not to cry.
Since then, nothing like that has happened but I have caught him staring at me a lot.
I guess he hasn't said anything because he's afraid he'd ruin our friendship if I don't like him back - typical. I have to do something about it. Maybe if I....
"Hey dreamer girl!", a voice called, pulling me from my thoughts. I opened my eyes and smiled.
Rachel and Sean were coming to meet me. I hugged them.
"Guys, what happened, I thought I was supposed to meet you both at Sean's so we could hang,"I asked.
They didn't answer. Rachel bit her lower lip and stared at her feet while Sean blushed.
"Hello?!! Answer me! "
Sean's blush deepened."Well... Um... I... We.. I kinda asked Rachel out and she.. agreed and we want to go on a date now and we were wondering if you wouldn't mind...because...I mean it's not a big deal, we can hang out later after all right?"
I stared at my "best friends",praying that they were joking but they were dead serious.
" Well... Say something!" Rachel said.
I stared at both of them, then I turned back and I ran.
