No One Touches Her: Book 1

My Best Friends Confessing?

"You don't understand Ashley.."
"Huh?"
"That kiss....I liked it..."
"You......huh?" I was confused.
"Ashley....her kiss was hot...I enjoyed that kiss very much..."
"Then why did you slap her like you were displeased?"
"Because...I'm not a lesbian Ashley. I didn't want it to look like I'm giving in to her very easily..."
"Haley you're not making sense.."
"I....had a crush on someone else recently..."
"Oh really? Who?"
"Jamie.."
"That boy who is good at art?"
"Y-Yea," she answers blushing. "He drew me yesterday in art class." She takes out a drawing of her which looks exactly like her.
"Wow, he drew you perfect. It's really nice."
"I know....I even planned to put it up on my room door but....my dad loves to ask a lot of questions."
"Have you confessed to Jamie yet?"
"Not yet....because I was waiting for today to tell him...now that I found out that my best friend has a crush on me otherwise....I'm not sure what to do anymore....."
"Well, she understands that you're not les or bi-sexual so she'll be okay if you don't choose to be with her. But don't avoid her.....she went through a lot lately.."
"But Ashley.....my...heart keeps beating for her...I'm.....confused...."
"So this means....you like Veronica as well?"
She shyly nods looking down. "I don't know what to do Ashey...."
"Hey, it's going to be okay. You just have to choose what your heart wants. Choose who you think you'll be really happy with. Choose who makes you feel important. Okay?"
She nods again.
"Come on, class is starting-"
"Wait...you go....I still have to think about this...."
"Oh..okay Hale. Take your time okay?"
"Ashey?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you tell her to meet me at the parking lot after school? Please?"
"Sure thing Hale. I'll tell her when I get in class."
She nods and we hug each other then I depart from her.

I ran straight back to class only to be escorted back to my seat again and they giving me small bows. This is really awkward to be used to. I then tap Vero awake and tell her what Hale told me.
"She told you that?"
"Yeah, looks like she's going to talk to you about all this what's going on."
"I see..."
"Even though she's the one to tell you everything what's on her mind, the reason this all is too much for her is because her interest was on someone else."
"Really? Oh no....what have I done...? She already confessed to him right?"
"Not yet actually."
"Oh I see....thanks for telling me Ashley."
I nod then focus on what the teacher is going to teach.

School is dismissed and me and Vero get out of school until my phone rings. I answer it quickly and say hello.

"Ashley?"
"Yeah Hale?"
"Is Veronica on her way here?"
"Yeah she is."
"I want you to come too."
"What? Why?"
"To...give me motivation..?"
"Really??" I say dimly.
"I just want you around...so I can speak properly.."
"Can you not speak properly without me-?"
"Please? After all you are my friend."
"Fine."
"Thank you Thank you!"
"Okay Okay. I'm coming right now."

I hang up and Vero asks what was up.
"Hale wants me along too."
"For what?"
"Who knows?"
The two of us then walk to the parking lot and see Haley waiting for us.

"Hey Hale, we're here," I call out and Vero looks down.
"You guys are here," Hale says.
The setting then gets silent until Haley starts to speak.
"Vero?"
"....yeah?"
"You....still have a crush on me....right?"
Vero nods.
".......me too..."
Vero looks up quickly. "R-Really?!"
"Yeah but don't get over yourself yet.."
Vero gets silent once again.
"That kiss yesterday changed my heart for you but you see....I have a interest for someone else..."
"Yeah....Ashley told me.."
Hale then gave me a 'what the hell' look.
"My bad," I say getting guilty.
"So Hale, who's the crush of yours?" Vero asks.
"Jamie."
"You're nuts."
"Huh?"
"Jamie is a player!"
