I was rummaging through my locker as my classmate walked up to laughing and saying"Come on (Y/N) I can't believe you haven't-"
I cut her off by slamming my locker shut.
"Yes, Gabby! Yes, I know! The entire school knows! Now leave it!" I yelled as I felt the entire school looking at me. I rolled my eyes as I saw my best friend Daniel Seavey pushing past the crowd looking at me confused. We normally walk home together so it was usual he would meet me at my locker after school.
"(Y/N) whats going on?" Daniel questioned as I pulled him towards me and walked off still holding hands with him pulling him all the way out of school. Daniel still asking me questions confused, with me ignoring him. Once we were a block away from school I finally let go of him and held the straps of my backpack letting him walk beside me.
"(Y/N) whats wrong!?" Daniel said jumping in front of me stopping me.
"It's nothing, just the girls bullying me again," I say sniffling my dry tears pushing past him.
"What did they do?" Daniel said catching up to me.
"Oh, just the usual." I laugh with no joy. He looked confused. "Just leave it, please."
"Fine, but I'll get it out of you," Daniel says. I smile looking down.
If only you knew why
We reached his home after talking about other things. I greeted Daniel's mom as usual as she gave us both a plate of sliced watermelon. We thanked her and headed upstairs to work on our homework.
---
We were halfway through our chem homework till Daniel asked.
"Please (Y/N), what was Gabby and the other girls bullying you about? I swear I'm gonna-"
"No Dani, I love you but no." I smiled, finishing the equation.
If he only knew
"Please (Y/N) your killing me!" Daniel said falling back onto the carpeted floor dramatically. I laugh but shook my head.
---
"And we're DONE! YAY!" Daniel squealed singing the yay part. I laughed as I harmonized with him.
"Your career is gonna take off you know." I laughed as Daniel hugged me.
"I'm just a 17-year-old senior (Y/N), come on." Daniel laughed squeezing me tighter.
"That's won 9th place on American Idol," I added digging my head into his chest.
"You are my biggest fan." Daniel laughed.
"And always will be!" I laughed.
"I love you." Daniel smiled hugging me tighter as I sighed.
I love you too Daniel, but more than a friend. If you only knew.
"I love me too!" I laughed as Daniel started tickling me.
"(Y/N), say you love meee!" He sang. Dang, his voice always got me, and the tickling also might have helped.
"Fine! I... Love... YOUUU!" I screamed out of laughter as he stopped.
We then spent the next hour talking and probably 80% of the time laughing until my stomach hurt. I really think this is bad for my health but, whatever.
---
"Pleasee (Y/N)! You always tell me what Gabby and her friends say! What did she sayyy!" Daniel dramatically stated pretending to rip his hair out.
"Fine, do you really wanna know!?" I mumbled. He nodded his head furiously as I laughed.
"Fine, but promise not to laugh?" I asked I grabbed one of his pillows.
"Yes (Y/N) JUST TELL ME!" Daniel squealed mimicking me. I shook my head as I dug my head into a pillow.
"I've never had my first kiss!" I mumbled thinking Daniel couldn't hear me because my head was on his pillow.
Daniel must've heard me because he was in shock. He took the pillow I was using out of shame, threw it across his room as he barely made out "What? But I thought Jake, Jake your ex, I-"
"No, he never kissed me, we never made out it was all a rumor," I said picking at my shirt.
"That's it?" Daniel question. I nodded in embarrassment as he pulled me into a hug. Sometimes I wish I could just kiss you.
"Huh? Me?" Daniel said letting go. I shoot I said that out loud?
"What I-Uh, I-" I threw myself onto his bed in embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed," Daniel said lifting my head up. I smiled out of embarrassment. "I mean, who wouldn't." I gasped as I gave him a playful cheek slap. (On his face ya lil nasty)
"Ouch, that hurt!" Daniel cried. (A/N if you know where that's from I'll love you forever because you're a real one :)
I laughed. I looked up at his eyes, those infamous bright blue crystal eyes staring back at me, still melting my heart even though we've known each other since we were kids.
"Daniel, can you do me a favor," I asked, he asked what.
"I,- uh,- can-" I stuttered.
"Spit it out, you know I will," Daniel said not prepared what will come next.
"will you, will you kiss me." I cringed out of embarrassment.
"what? I? What am I-"
I cut him off saying "I promise, it doesn't have to mean anything really I just wanna get it over with. And your my best friend so hopefully you won't find it weird. And if you do its okay we don't-"
"Yes (Y/N), I'll kiss you," Daniel said smiling rubbing my shoulder as I smile.
"Are you sure? I mean I know you've kissed someone before, but I don't wanna force you-"
"No (Y/N), if you kiss anyone, at least make it someone worth it." He smiles. I nod agreeing. I feel my heart beating hard.
Oh my god is this actually happening? Am I kissing my crush? Who's also my best friend? What if he judges me?
"(Y/N)?" Daniel asked tapping me. I woke up out of my hallucination.
"Sorry, I just, I-"
"It's okay, come on, it's not as scary as you think," Daniel says reassuring me as he leads me to sit at the edge of the bed.
"Okay, so I just let it happen?" I ask. He nods.
"Are you sure, you want it to be me?" Daniel asks. I nod.
"I wouldn't want it to be anyone else." I smile as I can see him blushing.
"Okay, just," He said cupping my face as he leaned in. I didn't know what to do so I leaned in until our lips touched and I felt fireworks in my stomach exploding. Our lips danced together. It was sweet and romantic. We let go and Daniel was bright red.
"How was I?" I asked, a little embarrassed.
"You were perfect," Daniel says reassuring me.
If you only knew
