my straight best friend

Part 1 - your history with relationships

you've known who you were forever, back in kindergarten in Ohio, where you used to live, you had a crush on both of your closest friends. One a guy, and one a girl. The girls name was Sara, she had long frizzy blonde hair that went down to her lower back and she always smelled really good. As you grew older the crush on her started to fade as you started to hear all of the other girls talk about their crushes on boys. Sara and you remained best friends though until 6th grade, the start of middle school. immediately the "popular kids" took you under their wings which you didn't know how to feel about at the time as they only seemed to be interested in you and none of your other friends. you eventually got a boyfriend and the relationship lasted all of 2 months. Since you were friends with the "cool kids" you started to notice that a lot of boys started to like you. you didn't complain, i mean it was better than no one but at the end of 7th grade you started wondering what it would be like to be with a girl. you knew that wasn't possible though considering your mom was very religious and all of the boys in your friend group always made fun of the gay guys at the school. during 8th grade you put off dating as much as possible, you didn't want the drama and every time you were with a guy even though sometimes you enjoyed it you couldn't help thinking: what if this was a girl? At the end of 8th grade your father (who was way more accepting) got a business offer in Los Angeles, California. You were devastated to leave Ohio considering you would be leaving all of your friends behind but by the end of July the moving vans were packed and you were sitting on a plane. your family was decently wealthy because of your dad's job. Meaning your house in LA was a pretty good size. The start of the ninth grade school year wasn't too bad. I mean it was high school so everyone was new and in a school with 1600 kids it's not hard to make friends. That's when you met Bella, at the beginning of the year you two were ironically seated next to each other in 6/7 of your classes. You remember on the first day of school looking into her bright blue almost glowing eyes and being a little intimidated you two instantly became friends though, because you were both super outgoing and optimistic. She introduced you to her friend group which contained 6 girls and 5 guys: Lizzie, Alyssa, Tanya, Ali, Mar, Lexie, Spencer, Liam, Ron, Jake, and Alex. She also introduced you to her boyfriend, Cody. Her and Cody has been together since the beginning of 8th grade which was huge because normally middle school relationships don't last that long. Bella and Cody are still together today. He has blonde hair that is a bit messy and grey eyes. his ears are pierced and he's always wearing black gold studs that Bella had got him for their 2 year anniversary in October of last year. He was very muscular and wore tank tops a lot. He hung around with the football players even though he didn't play. Instead he was on the track and cross country teams for the school that you went to. Bella on the other hand was way different. She had light brown hair and electric blue eyes her skin was pale and she had a ton of freckles across her nose bridge. She was skinny and short about 5"5 which made her look like a dwarf next to 6"2 Cody. She didn't do any sports and was more into singing and poetry. She always wore hairbands around her wrist and didn't have her ears pierced. Apparently back in middle school Cody had been the heartthrob and everyone was confused when him and Bella started dating because they were so drastically different. For the two years you have been at the school you have had casual hookups (nothing farther than kissing though) with guys but never seriously dated anyone. Mostly because no one that was your type wanted to be in a committed relationship. You were into the very unobtainable guys that no one even tried for because they knew that they would get rejected. But you had your way around it. you liked thinks better when they were near impossible to get. That's why you like Bella.
