Nate's POV

Today was a new day certainly Belle cannot still be angry at me, can she? I hope not. Belle was my best friend and since I was a child we had never been in such a serious fight. Okay I am going to fix this I have to. I cannot bare not speaking to her. I mean, I don't think I have ever gone one day without communicating with her in some way or another,even if it was just playfully teasing her. She was like my sister meaning, that was how close we were but, if Belle was my biological sister and I had those feeling for her, well let's just say, I am sure it would have been illegal in many states and countries.

"Nate, all you have to do is just find her and tell her how you feel." uttered my subconscious.

"Yeah, you know it's not as if I try to do so everyday you know," I replied.

How bad can this be, I mean she's just like any other girl right? Of course she is not like any other girl, I mean who else would be able to, make me do stupid things with her, act immature at times just to make someone's day a little bit better, care and help her friends that much, talk about fictional characters as if they were real and standing right beside you and be that fricking obsessed with books? I mean which girl has ever cared about books and other people more than she ever cared about her own popularity? That's who Belle was, I mean she was just AMAZING no other word just AMAZING.

"Where is she? I mean it's lunch she has to be here somewhere. I do hope she is not with that idiot, Brandon," I thought.

Finally, I spotted her and made my way to where she and her friends were eating.

"But Jasmine, I cannot believe he would ask Belle this out of all people. No offense Belle but this is quite unexpected." Anna was saying.

"What was unexpected?" I asked.

I stared at Belle and she just looked at me with those puppy eyes of hers. What was the news? Why was she so upset, great, this cannot be good. Well I better prepare myself for everything to go downhill from here. I could see it in her face that this was going to be dreadful news but, she just stared at me. It was then it hit me. Of course, I could use the same face she was using on me at her, I mean I know that she would not be able to resist telling me.

I was now at the edge if my seat just waiting for her to say something, anything that would give me the slightest hint as to what was bothering her.

"Wow, this food is certainly tasting good today," she stated.

Wait, did she just say something about food? She was changing the topic and on purpose too. I know that even though we were going to an elite school in Manhattan the food certainly did NOT taste good. This was crap. Why wasn't Belle telling me anything? Was Jade correct when she said that Belle did not trust me. God I hope not but maybe just maybe she was a little correct. I mean she isn't even telling me anything!

"No Nate, she is your best friend she would not be like that don't worry," I thought.

"Belle, stop changing the topic. Fine, I will tell him. Ok Nate..." Anna began.

"Ok shut up, I will just tell him."

Finally, thank the Gods, I am going to obtain some answers as to what was going on. She blurted out something really fast and I didn't even understand one word she said. I asked her to repeat but, I had no idea as to why she was so nervious.

"During Biology class today, Brandon asked me out." she repeated enunciating each word clearly.

BRANDON! BRANDON! HE ASKED HER OUT?! WHAT THE HELL! My mind was racing and my heart was pounding so hard it could have shot out of my chest right there and then. I was full of rage and I wanted to beat the crap out of the idiot they called a boy.I stared at her with disbelief and also I could feel my entire body frozen. I mean he was a year older than her! An entire year older than her! I was just two months older than her but he was an entire flipping year! Is that even legal? What is wrong with me? I should be happy for her this was her first date it should be special... it should be with me.

I was lost in thought for a while until I heard Anna saying something about a date and first, that I finally snapped back into reality and out of the daze I was in.

"That's a date Belle! Your first date is Brandon!" exclaimed Anna.

What is her problem? How could she be happy at a depressing time like this? I mean imagine losing your best friend? I definitely would not be celebrating, instead I would depressed since I was NOT as positive as Belle and I would not see the brighter side of anything.

Jasmine then asked Anna to help her with her homework and they both left so it was just Belle and I alone, face to face with each other. We just stared at the other not wanting to say anything until I realised that if I did not speak no one was going to say a single word.

"So did you say yes to the date?"

This was what I desepretely needed to know. The one question I wanted answered above anything else.

"I did not reply as yet,"

"So does that mean you are going?" I pressed again.

"Nate, I don't know what to do."

"Well, do you have any reason not to go?"

For example, me. Belle if you just say it... Just say," You."

God, what was I thinking? I knew that she saw me as a brother figure and NOTHING would change that. And I mean nothing.

"Ok Nate, now may not be the perfect time but you HAVE to tell her now. It's now or never." mentioned my subconscious. Resulting in me uttering the very words I never imagined I would ever tell her.

"Belle, there's something I have to tell you... since we were children, we knew each other and now till today we still are great friends but as we, or I should say I, got older.."

Where was I possibility reaching with this? I had no real direction nor did I have any idea of how she would react, but I did not have to wait long since I was rudely interrupted and I was not able to finish what I was saying.

Anna certainly had impeccable timing since, I did not know how Belle would have reacted. It was not that I was not manly enough or that I didn't have courage but it was my fear of Belle not wanting to be friends after. Everything may be very awkward after and we may even stop talking to each other and I knew that, I for one could not live life like that. She was my life and without her I would be like a rose living in the desert.

Anna asked us what we were talking about and I simply chuckled and said that it was just school and nothing much. It was at that moment, I made one of the most crucial decesions of my life and it was NOT one that I liked or favored very much. I said those three unforgettable words...

"You should go,"

I made my decision and now it was up to her. Whatever she chose I would be happy and support her decision. The ball was now in her court and it is up to her turn to decide what happens now.

Ever had to write 3 essays in 1 and three quarter hours? I know my friends and I had to do so today and I know my hand literally wants to fall out from my body. Trust me its not fun.

Thanks guys for everything you have no idea how happy I was when I saw how many of you read FFH. You guys are soo amazing and I love you all so very much. :) =* =D

Would you guys like a book told from Brandon's POV?
