Since second grade | e.d

1

"Maggie, I told you I'm not going"

"Jen. Sitting at home, reading romantic books, DOESN'T GET YOU ANYWHERE. Don't you wanna go out and find a boy instead of reading about like twenty different ones?"

"Every time there's a party, you try dragging my ass out"

"And every time you end up not going and I come stumbling home alone. Drunk"

"Exactly, that's why I'm not going. I don't wanna be stumbling home drunk at 3am in the morning"

"Jen please, just this once? You don't even have to drink. And if you end up hating it, you can go home and I'll never ask again. Okay?"

I curved the side of my mouth upwards and narrowed my eyes at her, pretending to think about it.

Maggie has been my best friend since I can remeber, but we've always been different.

I am the type of girl to sit at home, read books about love instead of going out and actually looking for it.

My family is chill.

I have one younger brother. Luca. And a happy, loving family.

My parents were highschool sweethearts and married freshman year of college.

Whilst Maggie and her life is the exact opposite.

She's outgoing. Goes to parties almost every weekend. Known by everyone and is popular, if you could say so.

Her parents are divorced and she as two siblings. one older sister who doesn't live at home anymore and one younger sister, who's actually the cutest. Her name is Sophia and Luca and her have been besties as long as Mag and I have.

Yes, I call her Mag and she calls me Jen, unless we're serious. 

Even though our lives are so different, we've stayed friends through everything.

I love Mag to death, but her lifestyle scares me. 

I've never had a drink or been drunk.

Never smoked or tried any drugs.

I'm always afraid that if I go out with her, I'll get lost and tricked into doing something I don't want to.

"Ethan's gonna be there..."

My eyes grew wide as my head snapped up. 

"What? W-who's E-Ethan?"

My voice was shaky as my face grew red as a tomato.

I've had a crush on that boy since second grade and I never told anyone. NOT EVEN MAGGIE. HOW THE FUCK COULD SHE KNOW ABOUT HIM?

"Oh cut the crap. I know you've liked him since like fourth grade Jen" Maggie laughed as she sat down on the bed besides me.

"Second actually" I spoke in a low tone - looking down at my knees.

"What?" she asked confused, probably not knowing what I was talking about.

"I've had a crush on him since second grade, not fourth...second"

I looked up at her - embarrased.

Everyone likes Ethan. He's like the bad boy that gets all the girls. 

A new girl every week. He's the type of guy all the boys in the school aspire to be like.

I've known him since kindergarten. My mom and his were childhood besties, and they still are to this day.

He acts all tough and stuff, but I know who he is. 

I've been with him through some of his darkest times. Like the time he had to get rid of his dog because his twin brother Grayson turned out to be allergic. Like the time his sister got her first boyfriend and he found out he was cheating on her. I've never seen him more furious...and we were eight years old.

The toughest part was probably the time his dad left them...

I've never seen him more depressed. He didn't attend school for weeks and that was the time he stopped talking to me.

I've had a crush on this boy for ten years now and I thought no one knew. 

But apparently I was wrong.

Maggie knew.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Mag" I looked at her with guilt in my eyes.

"Girl, you didn't have to" she laughed - smiling at me "I've known for like eight years now and I knew you weren't comfortable telling me, so I just shrugged it off"

I couldn't help but smile - pulling her into a hug.

"I love you Mag" I whispered in her ear.

"Love you too fattie" she laughed as she tried to get out of my grip, knowing I was about to hit her.

"I take it back, I hate you" I bursted out laughing - chasing her around the room, trying to throw my pillows at her.

"Okay okay, you're not fat, but DAMN GIRL, you thick af mami" she burtsed out laughing, trying to act like the guys at school.

I know I've always had curves and a bigger behind, but I never really cared about it.

"I honestly hate you" I laughed - throwing myself on the bed, right beside her.

"Soooo, you'll go to the party with me?" she smiled as she turned over on her side.

"I guess I don't have a choice now" I laughed - sitting up.

"YCNSDKN YESSSSSS" she screamed, causing me to almost slap myself trying to cover my ears.

"Damn girl you've got some lungs on you" I laughed at her.

"C'mon, we need to find something to wear" she practically grabbed my arm and dragged me over to my walk-in closet.
