CHAPTER ONE
It was a bright, warm day as I was walking around the park. It was my senior year of high school and school had started about 2 weeks ago. Summer was coming to an end so my friends and I decided to try to spend the last warm days at the park. I was going to meet up some friends here.
The first person i see is Marilyn, I call her Mary for short. She is my best friend since day 1 of high school. She is the most dependable person I can think of. I mean everyone in our group of friends is but she will always be the first because she is the first real friend I ever made. She's has dark and super curly brown hair. She wears glasses and has a good fashion sense. I start walking towards her but she doesn't see me yet. She's looking down at her phone, probably texting her boyfriend. I take this chance to sneak up on her from behind. I call out to her from behind a tree.
"Mary!" I yell "Over here!", She looks up from her phone but can't see me. She looks around to see who called her but can't see anyone she recognizes. Good, I thought, everything going as planned. I make make an evil smile. I start making my way to her when I feel someone grab me by my waist from behind me. I let out a scream and Mary turns around once she hears me and smiles. Confused as to why she isn't shocked I turn to see who it is that has got me in their trap of arms. Of course, I should've known.
"You jerk! You scared me half to death Jonathan! Why would you do that?" I playfully shove him. Behold my other best friend: Jonathan. Most dependable guy you can ever count on. There's Mary and then there's Johnathan. Met both of them pretty much on the same day. Except with Johnathan I met him because he cut me in line during lunch. Now even though I'm only 5 feet in height, I'm not afraid to speak my mind. I had gotten sassy with him and all he did was be a smartass right back.
"For the same reason that you were going to scare Mary over here", he says as she comes over to us.
"And what reason could I have for wanting to scare my best friend? Huh?" I tried to act like an angel.
"I don't know. You tell me. Could it be because you are just evil and wanted to scare her for fun? Cause that's why I scared you dollface." He winks at me and starts chuckling as I just stare at him. Mary has already joined and just rolls her eyes at our little argument.
"I swear you guys act like you're together sometimes." she states putting her phone in her pocket. I ignore her comment because she knows how I feel about him. I've sworn to myself that I would never fall in love with my best friend if I ever happened to have a guy best friend. Growing up I didn't have many friends. Just people who let me sit with them at lunch. I was always the nerdy girl so to them having me around was an advantage to them. However, once I got to high school I pretty much made myself to be who I really wanted to be. It may have gotten me into trouble with other people at times but I like the way I am now.
"Hey, I got no problem with making her my princess but that's up to you sugar" he says flirtatiously. I look away blushing. I can't let him see me that way. Besides we're best friends he's supposed to say things like that. In a jokingly manner right?
"Oh yeah? And what would your girlfriend say about that statement?" I say a little shakily. He turns to look at me but I just look straight ahead. Another reason why I needed to stay away from him is because he has a girlfriend. He's been with her for about 2 months now. They met at school a year ago in one of his classes. It hurt me when I found out like a steak knife went through my heart, the first two weeks of them together was torturous. I felt bad because he got worried as to why I got so sad and I never explained to him. I would just change the subject or I would excuse myself and wouldn't come back. I can't let myself get hurt the way I did with my first high school boyfriend. Only a few people know how bad i had gotten because of him. Most of my friends and, of course, my parents.
