Magcon: the boys next door

Chapter 1

As I lean my head against the window sill, I am able to get a crystal clear view of the house next door. Just the typical North Carolinian style home brings back so many memories.
I continue to lean my head and sigh as a happy kind of sad memory pops in my mind. I remember this day like it was just yesterday, although, it was about two years ago. It was the day I realized I didn't want to be the girl i had been.
The weather had been perfect. It was sunny and a warm summer breeze brought a scent of fresh cut grass to my nose. This is what comes to mind when I think of summer. My summer days were spent with a bright, blue-eyed boy, whom I was able to call my very most bestest friend.
This boy was of course Nash Grier. Yes, the boy who now holds the hearts of many girls of various ages across the country (and maybe even globe who really knows.) well at the time he hadn't held my heart. This boy was the one who when I was younger I spent my days chasing. He picked on me and of course I picked on him. He was my partner in crime.
My older sister Karmen is by far the girliest girl I have ever known. She hates things that crawl, creep, fly, and well anything that is gross. That is everything to her. I was 14 and still the Stella that refused to accept she would have to be a girl one day who would have to wear *gasp* a dress and actually have to brush her hair. Nash and I had come up with one of our best plans yet.
I held the slippery worm in my hand that tickled as it squirmed. I couldn't help but giggle as we hid in her bathroom shower. Nash looked at me very seriously with his blue eyes.
"Stella! You're going to have to be quiet!" He shushed me in a not very quiet manor as he put worm surrounding her hairbrush. We quickly scampered off before Karmen returned from the movies.
A few hours later the excitement of our brilliant plan had died down and we sat in my living room playing card games on the rug. Suddenly a high pitched scream broke the silence. It was a very loud scream believe me. The grins spread widely on our faces and the laughter started uncontrollably spilling out.
"STELLA?!! Where are you!!" Karmen squealed.
"MOM!! You won't believe what she's done this time!!!"
Nash grabbed my hand and we raced out the house as we heard her loud footsteps pounding the steps. We tore through the overgrown grass in my backyard. My arms were pumping fast as Nash was a few paces in front.
"C'mon Stelly Belly! Is that all you got?" Nash called as he glanced quickly behind him.
"If you think that then you really are crazy" I called back as I ran faster. I leaped onto his back tackling us both onto the grown. We erupted into laughter and panting. We were both sweating and laughing like lunatics.
We settled down under the oak tree just a few feet from his house. I laid on my side facing him. I grew faintly aware of the closeness between us and how attractive he'd grown to be recently. His dark hair and growth spurt made him look more like a man than ever.
"What're you staring at Stelly?" He questioned with a smirk. I felt my cheeks grow hot as I realized he was aware of my staring.
"Just of how weird looking my best friend is." I said with a smile laughing.
"Whatever" he said laughing.
We spent the night looking at the stars, talking and joking around, listening to the various bug chirping. That night when we said goodbye I raced to my room before Karmen could chase after me. I tossed and turned because I found it so hard to sleep after tonight's events. I realized I didn't like me so much after all. Tons of boys liked Karmen because she was so girly and pretty. Would Nash feel like I was more than a friend to him if I was like that? I tried to shake these thoughts but couldn't. For the first time in my life I felt a strange feeling about the boy next door. Slowly I gained urges to hold his hand whenever we were close together in moments alone. I could never feel like Nash was just my friend anymore. Ever since that night I couldn't shake my feelings for him. It's been since then that Nash Grier has held my heart.
