***********************************

CHRISTIANAS POV

Lunch rolled around and I walked in with Hayes. My best friend. Christina talks to Hayes, and they flirt or whatever. I don't know why it bugs me, it shouldn't. We are friends, and I'm happy for him. Happy he has a girl he likes. Why do I keep thinking about them? I shouldn't. Hayes and I are friends. Wait. Do I like Hayes? No. No I don't. I can't. It'll ruin absolutely everything.

I sit down at our table, along with everyone else. I look around for where Hayes went, but I can't see him. Just when I am about it get up and look for him, Hayes comes to the table with Christina. "Guys this is Christina. Can she sit with us?" Hayes asks and everyone nods. Except me of course. Hayes sits down next to Christina, which makes me jealous. Yes jealous. Not because they're flirting, because i feel like Hayes is being taken from me. Best friend wise of course.

"So Hayes and Christina" Ryan says looking at them, and wiggling his eyebrows. They look at each other, and smile. Something Hayes and I always do. We always look at each other and smile. Just like this morning. I shook the feeling off because i hate it.
"Well I heard Hayes is going to ask me on a date tomorrow night. Isn't that right baby cakes?" Christina said, giving me a dirty glare, then turning to Hayes. He was blushing like crazy, and she was just fluttering her eyelashes. "Oh uh yeah I do need to ask you something. Would you want to go out with me?" Hayes asks, and Christina just blushes, and flutters her eyelashes. "I would love to" she says kissing his cheek.
"I'll uh be right back" I stutter, getting up from my seat, and swinging my back pack on my shoulder. I stomp out of the cafeteria, and to the vending machine where I buy a soda, and walk off to my locker. I rip it open and check my phone. We aren't allowed to have phones in school, so I keep it in the back of the locker so only I could see it.

"Chris?" Someone asks, causing me to jump. I drop my phone quickly, and turn around to see Hayes there.
"Shouldn't you be with Christina" I mumble going back into my locker knowing it's Hayes and he wouldn't tell on me. I didn't dare to make eye contact, I kept my eye focus in my locker. "Chris, what's been going on with you?" Hayes asks me. I quickly look at him then back at my locker before speaking. "Nothing" I say staring at my lock screen if Hayes and I when we were little.
"Chris something's up. After science you just changed" he says. I don't bother looking at him, but I know he's staring at me.
"Why don't you just go on that date with Christina tonight. She seems a lot more important than me right now" I say slamming my locker shut and walking off to the girls bathroom, so he couldn't come in.

I stayed in the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror. What has gotten into me? I shouldn't be jealous of hayes and Christina. Why am I mad? Or jealous? Or upset? Maybe because I feel left out... Or maybe because I like hayes. No I can't, but I think I do. I really dont want to like him, but I thibk I do. I heard the bell, and walked out of the bathroom, and bumped into hayes. "Hayes? What are you - why are you waiting outside the girls bathroom?" I ask him, smiling a little.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay" he says quietly, and I can help but blush a little. God why did I just blush.
"Thanks" I say quietly.
"So are we still on for our whipped cream fights at IHOP?" He asks putting his arm around my shoulder. A friendly gesture of course. I smile, letting the new feelings flow throughout my body.
"Yep. And your going down" I say punching his stomach playfully. He giggles, and Christina comes stomping up to us. "What the fuck Christiana?" She growls at me.
"What?" I ask furrowing my eye brows together.
"Don't touch my boyfriend" she said pushing my chest so hayes would let go, causing my books to fly all over the floor, as well as me. "Come on baby" Christina says smirking at me. Hayes looked back at me, and I just rolled my eyes. How could he let this happen?

I gathered my things and walked through the now almost empty halls. I finally made it to reading, and found hayes sitting next to Christina. Christina was in my seat. I slammed my books on the front desk and I felt a hand on my arm. "Chris please sit in your normal seat. Christinas sitting in front of me" he says and I look back. I grab my books frustrated and sit down angirly next to hayes.
"Chris Im your best friend. Please Christina is just insanely jealous of our friend ship. Don't let it get in the way of us. Please Chris," hayes begs and I roll my eyes and let out a huge breath. Why do I keep giving in? God.

Hayes and I talk our normal conversations, and the day blows by. Before i knew it, hayes and i were walking home from school, and doing homeowork in the kitchen. "So what time are we going to IHOP?" i asked him, closing my text book and putting it in my backpack. "we can go now if you want" hayes suggested and i nodded.

i grabbed my phone, and headed out the door. the nearest IHOP was like five minutes walking distance, so it wont take to long. We finally arrive, and grab a table. "So hows chrisitna?" i ask trying to start a conversation. Not a very good topic.
"Good.. um chris i need to tell you something" hayes says quietly.
"what is it?" i ask scooting a little closer to him. i hope he's not admitting his feelings for me. if he has feelings. why would he have feelings for me? i dont know. i ignore all the questions and wait for him to talk.
"Im going to ask Christina to be my girlfriend. thats okay with you right?" he me. my heart sunk a bit deeper into my chest. Why would he be asking if its okay?
"why are you asking me if its okay?" i ask giggling a little. But hes never asked me about asking a girl out. like ever.
"B-Because i dont know you seemed.....jealous today when me and Christina were hanging out.." he said trailing off. Oh god. he thinks i like him. Like more than a friend.
"No, god Hayes! Im just jealous because i feel a little left out, thats all" i said giggling.
"Good. I dont want you to feel that way, it wont happen again, i promise " he said smiling and chuckling. Our pancakes and waffles came, and i dipped my finger in teh whipped cream. i took it and smudged it across his face. Then he took a handful, and smudged it on my forehead and hair. My mouth was hanging wide open, and that started our whipped cream fight.

im not mad hayes is asking her out, im actually happy. i just dont want to feel left out.

or lose my bestfriend.
