Our Cliche' Love Story

Chapter One: Best friend

Hi! My name is Kathleen Smith, the best friend of Ethan Williams. I and Ethan have been bestfriends since we were babies, seriously. My mother and his mother were best friends too, and we were both born on the same hospital, and on the same day
October 28 2003, according to our mother's whenever I or Ethan would cry in the nursery the other would just laugh, we had our weird way of supporting each other, don't you think? On our 6th birthday , I clearly remember that it was Ethan's fault why I had no more candles left to blow, and I cried really hard until the moon had come out, so Ethan came to my house that night and brought me a cupcake that had candles on it for me to blow. At least it was one way to make up for his doing.One day while I and Ethan were hanging out at the park, I had accidently tripped over a tree root which had caused a huge wound at my elbows, then super hero Ethan came to the rescue, he had rapped it with his handkerchief and wiped away the escaping tears crawling down my cheeks, and that's when I realized that I liked him. And as we grew, those feelings that I had felt were still there, and the more I hangout with him the more I fall for him, but you know what hurts? Knowing that he'll never feel the same way. On our 15th birthday, I plan to tell him the truth. That I liked him for 7 years, is it worth it? Telling him that I like him? Or maybe I'll just make a fool of myself.
"Kathleen! Someone wants to speak with you on the phone!" Exclaimed my mother.

Someone huh? There is only one person who would ever call me.

"Hello" I said.

"It's your boy, Ethan!"

"Dude, your house is literally across the street" I told him.

"Naw, am to tired to walk across the street" replied Ethan.

"Uhhhh! Your impossible you know" I said.

"And yet you still choose to be friends with me" said Ethan.

"Yah, hang on coming" I said.

I put down the phone and grab my cap from the rack.

"Say hi to aunt Maya for me!" Exclaimed my mom.

"I will!" I exclaimed.

I cross down the street and knock on the door.

"Hi Kathleen." greeted Aunt Maya "Ethan got lazy to walk over?"

"Yup" I told her.

"Oh Ethan" said Aunt Maya as she closes the door

"Oh, my mom said hi by the way" I told her.

I go up the stairs and to Ethans room.
"Heeeyyyy! Its Len!" Said Ethan

"What do you want from me?" I asked him

"I want nothing from you, but I have something to tell you." Said Ethan

"Huh?" I said

"Well aparently, misses Rodriguez will be moving out." Said Ethan

"Yes! Finally we can rome down the streets freely" I exclaimed

"And that's not the good part just yet, there's going to be a new girl in town." Said Ethan

"And then?" I asked him

"Soooooo." Said Ethan

"Nope, if you wanna get her, you go get her yourself Ethan. I ain't gonna be this bridge to your love story" I argued with him

"Why!?" Exclaimed Ethan "I'll pay you"

"N.O. NO! Man up Ethan, I ain't going to be here all the time" I told him

"Fine, you're going to regret not helping me" threatend Ethan

"Yup, definitley" I sarcastically replied.

Hours had pass talking and chatting about our friends, family and what's going on in our lives.

"So Len, do you have a crush?" Asked Ethan

"Nope" I told him, though inside I felt like I wanted to throw up and kill myself.

"You sure?" Asked Ethan

"Why do you wanna know?" I asked him

"Just asking." Replied Ethan.
We continue to chat and chat more about our likes and dislikes about people, and what kind of people do we like. I practically just told him his own personality but NO, he still has no clue. How dense is this best friend of mine? Or maybe his toying with me? After lunch and dinner at Ethans home, I finally came home to mine.
Once I had entered my own home, to be found in the living room was grandpa watching spongebob.
"Well you took half of the day" said my grandpa

"Yup, Ethan is a huge chatter." I told my grandpa

"Len, when will you tell that Ethan boy that you love him?" Asked my grandpa

"Well. I plan to tell him on our 15th birthday." I told him

"Sweetie, sit." Said my grandpa noding towards one of the sofa"Len, are you afraid of telling him your feelings?"

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'll get hurt" I told him

"Kathleen, fear will always be part of life and so will be pain." Said my grandpa

"I know grandpa." I told him

"Now go to bed, tomorrow will be another day." Said my grandpa

"Good night grandpa" I told him as I rose to my feet and planted a kiss on his forehead.
On my way to my room I thought about what grandpa had said, maybe I should tell him. What ever happens, he'll always be my best friend.
The sun has rise, and the birds start to sing. I open my window to see a truck filled with things and a car at Ms. Rodriguez house, it must be the new girl. I go and take shower, and change into my yellow shirt and black jumpers.
"Hi Len, breakfast?" Asked my dad

"No thanks" I replied as I grabbed my signature red cap from the rack

"Heading to meet the new girl?" Asked my dad

"Yeah" I replied

"Hope you'll be friends!" Exclaimed my dad as I headed out for the door.
At the new girl's house, Ethan, Linus, Gabriel, and Tracy were there already by the fence.
"Hey guys! Seen her yet? I asked

"Not yet, she still hasn't come out" replied Linus.

"Have you guys thought about walking over there?" I asked

"Us? Never will ever do that" replied Gabriel

"Losers" scoughed Tracy

"True" I agreed "I'm just going to walk over there" I told them

"Len, no! No!" Exclaimed Gabriel, Linus, and Ethan.

"You go girl." Cheered Tracy

I walk away from the fence and to the new girl door, I fix myself up and prepare to see this new girl in town. Wonder how pretty she is.
