My Bestfriend

Part 1

It's a rainy and cold autumn day. I would prefer to stay home in bed but i have a English test today so unfortunately i can't... "Marcus! I'm leaving" martinus yells at me from downstairs. "Okay!" I yell back. I hear  him close the door and leave. I'm going to get to school so late but I'm not finished yet, it took me some time to get out of bed so now i only stand here in boxers trying to find the right clothes for today. It's not a special day today but sometimes i get stuck finding the right clothes i want to wear. I eventually just end up wearing a comfortable light pink hoodie and light blue ripped jeans.
I usually just put my hair in a bun, since I'm not a morning person and styling my hair isn't my number one priority. However I'm already going to be late whether i style my hair or not and i have one of those good hair days today so why not? I style my hair and comb everything to the side, i kinda like it.
I wonder if she will like it? I put on one spray of perfume as well.
Then i watch my phone..........oops it's already 8am! I run downstairs, put on my shoes and take my backpack and run to school. It takes me at least 10 minutes to get there and class has already started!
Eventually i get there, i don't hang off my things in my locker i just walk to the classroom. Ugh the door is closed, guess i'll have to do a walk of shame. I open the door and the teacher gets quiet for a second and then i walk in while all my classmates are watching me.... maybe i dressed up a little too much after all. I quietly take off my backpack and sit beside Leah and try to focus on what my teacher is saying, but then i feel this sweet smell of girl perfume and Leah is leaning a little towards me "I like your hair" she whispers and gives me that playful smile that she has been giving me lately.
I feel goosebumps on my arms when she whispers into my ears. I slowly turn my head to her "I like your perfume" i whisper back and smirk. She looks back at the whiteboard with a satisfied smile on her face. Oh gosh what can i say about Leah? Hot? No doubt, Funny? Like hell! Smart? Always better than me in school. Cute? The cutest girl you can think of. My girlfriend? I wish. I have been in the same class as Leah since we were really young, like 8 years old or something? I think i started to really notice her when we became around 11 years old.
I always thought she was funny to play with as a kid but then when you get older things suddenly gets more complicated. It's no longer making mud cakes together or playing hide and seek, instead that changes to partying and alcohol. And of course those darn feelings. The feelings get more complicated the older you get I've realized. At first it was just innocent thoughts about her, i thought she was cute and i enjoyed being around her. Then when i got a little older i wanted to hold her hand, maybe kiss her on the mouth? But maybe a year after that it changed to less innocent thoughts. I wanted her alot, i still do. Not only holding hands and a close mouthed kiss but more. However i lost that chance a long time ago. Almost two years ago. It's always that new exciting kid that gets it all. In this case it's William. Started in our  class two years ago, most of the girls in class instantly fell for a him. Martinus and i had always been considered the cutest boys in class when we were younger but the brunette and icy blue eyed William stole that spotlight i suppose. I don't know how but William ended up in our friend group with me, Martinus, Leah, Sander, Olivia, Frida and Tobias.  Me and him get along the least in the group, i don't know exactly what it is?
We don't hate each other but things always feels forced between us. He can be kind of insensitive saying rude things out loud, things that he could've kept to himself. He's always whining about something as well. Now he's apparently very good looking according to the girls in our class so his ugly personality is like hidden behind him. Also as much as I hate to admit it i think i have something against him becuase he  stole Leah from me. Okay so technically he didn't steal her but to me it feels like it. The reason? Well half of the class one time played truth and dare at a school break when Willaim was still kind of new.
Leah is considered one of the prettiest girls in our class and some stupid kid in my class..... I believe it was Emil? Told Leah to kiss Willaim on the lips when she picked dare. After that they ended up dating or whatever you did at 13 years old? 2 years later they are still together. I just look away everytime they kiss, although they are usually quick and kind of non loving i think... I know I would've kissed her better.... The relationship between Leah and i has always been friendly, we get along really good and always have fun with each other. However things are changing between us, i don't know if she has noticed it but things are like..... flirty when we talk sometimes.
Like the whisper in the ear, compliments, she sometimes touch my arm when just laughing at something i say. I don't want to be over confident or anything but i believe William is soon out of the picture or i will try at least. "Marcus!" I get out of my daydreaming and see Leah looking at me "You haven't listened, have you?" She says and raise her eyebrows at me "Umm no" i say and give her a guilty smile. "Oh gosh Marcus you should just be happy that we are partners" she says and open up her laptop and start making a document on it. "Huh? What are we doing?" I say and take out my laptop from my backpack, she sighs "Just read what we are doing on the whiteboard" she says and already start looking up information. I stretch my arms and yawn "Looks boring" i say and she looks at me and roll her eyes "Come on Marcus!" She says. "Okay, okay sorry" i say and i try to look up information on Google. Doing school projects with Leah always means: hard work. Only time you shouldn't joke around with her.... other times it's alright. Just not now. I see her editing my work every time i publish information in our shared google document. I just let her, she's a perfectionist. We work on the essay in silence until the lesson is over. While everyone is walking out from the classroom and I'm replying to a text on my phone William comes over and hug Leah from behind while she sits down "Hey You" he says and she takes her things and stand up "See you later Marcus" she says and walks away with him..... ugh i feel the jealousy run through my whole body. She doesn't want him, she just needs to start realizing it. I will make her want to break up with him, I'm not watching their unloving relationship another year. Things are changing this term, that's for sure.
