-lolz does anyone even like this book?
Lola's pov
"Congrats Smartypants" joey smiled widely, bring me into a big hug
"Im going to grand finals!" I squealed. I cant believe im going to grand finals. I've been preparing this debate for months. There's only three of us in a team. My friends jarred and Sadie. We work the best together and are almost like siblings.
"Im so so proud of you" joey kissed my forehead.
"DATE ALREADY" I heard luna yell. We swerved our heads towards her but she was gone in a flash
"Just pretend we didn't hear that" I shrugged
"Not that easy when she says it every single day" he chuckled
I smiled then shook my head in embarrassment, laughing a bit. As I was about to say something a girl approached us. Not just any girl though. This girl was named Anna starling. I swear this girl is a Disney princess or something. She's literally the smartest girl in school but also the prettiest. I was plain on jealous of her when I found out she had a thing with Ash. What can I say? She literally perfect. And im literally jealous
"Hey lola. I just wanted to say congrats" she smiled
I tried giving her a smile without showing my jealousy. "Thanks" I mumbled
"So who's this? Wait, aren't you new to this school?" She gushed to joey. She just noticed him now? How on earth
"Yeah. Im not freshly new but am new yes" he replied, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the distance she was standing. Not even a centimetre away from him. Smh
She started giggling. "Aw you're so cute and funny"
"I didn't mean it to be funny. I was just saying im not that new?" He said a bit confused
"Anna" I brought her attention on me. "Anna, this is joey. My friend" I introduced, trying not to make a frown. Friend. That's all I am right? Nothing more, nothing less. As much as I want to, I couldn't admit my feelings for him. This is not like other love stories where the girl and boy fall in love. Our love was forbidden. Hurt one heart, break the other. The benefits of being best friends.
Joey glanced at me . "Best friend" he corrected as Anna nodded at him, biting her lip
Great

Can someone que the sad music please? Why am I sad may you ask? Well DONT you just love that feeling when all your friends ditch you for something better. Luna has got an award ceremony to do. Lacy had to leave for detention. And joey went to hang out with his guy friends. Its great to see joey hanging out with other people besides me but im just kinda worried that they'll change him. I know my friends have changed me..
The day I lost hope in joey when it came to my realisations back then, there was only one word that spun around my head.
Maturity. I found ways to become more independent. More ways to grow out of my childhood habits. But now that joey came back, all I want is to have things the way they were. Our little imaginations. Our little dreams. And especially our little kingdom.
I guess you're never too old to be young
Right now im waiting on lily to finish her choir practices. Its boring as heck sitting outside. Im not allowed to wait inside 'cause apparently they're making a suprsie show. I clearly think its dumb because its not so much of a 'suprsie' when they sing the same thing every year and announce it all over the school with posters and banners.
"You okay?" Someone asked. I lifted my head up to see joey
"Im good" I sighed, cracking a small smile
A smile crept on his face. "I shouldn't of have left you here. Its wrong of me to do that to my girl" he said as he sat beside me
"Your girl?" I questioned and He nodded
I smiled at that fact.
"Good to hear" I tried to keep myself from exploding. Im his girl? I feel like my cheeks are going to pop right off if my smile gets wider
"Lola...." He mumbled
"Yeah?"
"What are we exactly?" He asked. "I like you, lola. In fact I love you. We've kissed multiple times and judging that, I don't think that's what best friends do"
Oh my golly gosh . This boy is making my heart wanting to shoot out of my chest. Im just hoping I don't start looking like a waterfall of sweat. I could feel my cheeks burning up. This is the point where I want to erupt like a volcano.
I took a deep breath in and.....
"I like you too, joey . In fact, maybe I even love you too" I finally said. The words have been spoken. Im not going to take it back. Because nobody can take back the truth.
I swear his head turn to me faster then lightning could ever be. He was suprsied. I was even suprsied myself. Im not an open person but now, with him, I feel like expressing my feelings aren't too bad I guess...
"Then.......can we be more. You know im dying here" he whined the last part.
I giggled. "What can we be?" I asked
"Well here's an idea. We can get married and you can become Lola Birlem" he said really fast chuckling after
"I might consider that. But for now, we'll take it slow."
"I'll take any chances for you to be mine" he said, staring deeply into my eyes. Things got a little more serious....
"Then take this chance" that's when i settled our relationship by placing my hand on his and lightly kissing his soft lips.
