What if we were more than just friends?

Meet my friends

Mathew, Isaac, Marrisa, and me: Ava. We've all been best friends since the beginning of time. I love them all so much but in High School, my love for Marrisa and Mathew became into more of a "I want to fuck you" type of love.

So here I was, sitting in the cafeteria after school waiting for my bus to arrive. Me and my friends all ride the same bus and we practically reserved the back row to ourselves. Isaac tries to snatch my PB&J sandwich while I'm about to take another bite but before he can I throw it into the trash can. Yes I know, a stupid move. "GoSh DanGiT iSaaC lOoK whAt yOu maDe mE dO"I jokingly say while lightly shoving Isaac. Of course he exaggerates and falls off the seat. Just then the bus pulls up and me and my friends grab our backpacks and sprint outside. "Oh my god Ava you're so faSt." I laugh and slow down just so I can grab Marrisas hand. Together we run to the bus and step inside. We greet the bus driver Mrs Elle and walk to the back of the bus as usual.

"Oh my gosh you totally have to come to my party tonight!" A boy named Henry tells us. It's obvious he's trying to flirt with Isaac and that he only really wants him there, but I guess he wants to make this as least awkward as possible.  I scoot closer to Mathew and rest my head on his shoulder. We've always been the holding hands and hugging type of friends but Mathew doesn't find it weird at all. Which is great for me because I get to be super close to him without it being awkward. "Do you think we should go?" I ask Mathew as I look up to his face. "Obviously" he laughs and brushes hair out of my face. My cheeks flush at his touch and I look away before he can notice. I turn to Marrisa and say "What do you think?" she laughs a little "Of course! What do you guys think about going out to dinner first though?" Marrisa adjusts her skirt and waits for us to respond. "Dinner sounds good" Mathew says while getting out his phone. "How about we go to Cliffs?" Ah yes. Cliffs. Our main hangout. We eat there and hang out there. Basically it's our home and favorite place in town. Me and Marrisa both say "YES" at the same time and we laugh it off. Isaac looks like he's having a good time with Henry. Meaning they're currently making out while we arrange plans for dinner later.

I pace up and down my room trying to decide what to wear. Do I go for a slutty look? Or a more laid back cute girl? Or just a cute girl? I dig through my closet desperately trying to find something nice. I finally decide on a cute black skirt and a simple striped shirt. Nice enough.
I go up to my mirror and put my hair into two messy space buns. I'm too lazy to put on makeup so I just step outside my room and head downstairs so I can wait for Marrisa to come pick me up. I'm praying to god something happens between us tonight. Or maybe even me and Mathew. I hear a knock at my door and I walk up to it. I quickly open it to find Marrisa standing there. Her cheeks are rosy, her lips are dark red,and her light brown hair is flowing over her shoulders. She looks so beautiful that I can feel my cheeks getting hot.  "Come on Ava! Are you just going to stand there?" She giggles and I look up at her and laugh a bit. I grab her hand we walk to her car.
