The next day, Jonathan came by. He stayed over for almost the whole day. I went upstairs to my room as soon as he started talking about Tommy. About five minutes later, my younger brother was telling me that Jonathan wanted me to come to the stairs. I came to the stairs with my iPod. Jonathan was sitting at the top of the stairs. I sat next to the top stair on the other side of the railing. We texted back and forth on my iPod using my notes.
After awhile I got tired of talking to him and I told him that I was about to go to my room. He said, " Wait, I have something to tell you. " He grabbed my iPod and typed,
I like you.
I told him that my friends liked me too. He told me that he liked me more than a friend. I was completely surprised. "I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship." he said.
"Trust me, it won't. " I replied. I took my iPod from him and went to my room as he made his way down the stairs and out the door.
I closed the door and thought about all of it. I took it in like a vacuum. Then, it finally hit me! The reason Jonathan was lying about the Kiara girl was because he liked me. I didn't like Jonathan the way he liked me, so I knew our friendship wouldn't be ruined. Or so I thought.
