I walked down the litered hallway, students moved out of my way in spite of my high 'social standard', I was considered popular in this hell whole. My and my four best friends walked down, shoulder to shoulder. We pushed each other in a playful mannor as the schools 'glamour girls' walked toward us. I managed to escape behind them and turned to the boys, their pleading looks made me laugh. I gave them a thumbs up before flipping them off. I had my eyes on a different girl.

I walked down the south wing until I saw her.

I looked to my right to see this beautiful blonde haired girl sitting against her locker. Her earbuds were slightly tangled as they sat in her ears, her legs criss crossed, a drawing book sat on her lap, the end of her pencil rested on her lip as she studied her work. Her bright green eyes looked over the page, her soft delicate hands hovered over the paper. She bit her bottom lip in anticipation and concentration, her hair falling from behind her ear, it was slightly wavy from the braid she wore the previous day, she was beautiful without trying. Her hands glided over the paper so effortlessly, her fingers working the magic her mind had in store.

I stood shyly on the opposite side of the hall, studying her figure for as long as I could. Her hand slowly stopped, and her head lifted across to me. I smiled sheepishly, her wasn't so shy. She radiated happiness, she was the sunlight to my dark day, my pick-me-up on a gloomy afternoon. She was my best friend. And I am totally in love with her.

"Hey Besson!" she cheered as I sat next to her. She seemed all gidy and happy. I smiled at her childishness and greeted her. We sat there and talked for so long that the bell rang to end school. "Ugh finally" she groaned. She picked herself up off the ground and turned to me, she extended her small hand, I smiled goofily and took it. I made my body go limp to tease her, she huffed and started to drag me down the hallway.

"Okay! Okay!" I laughed. She smiled sweetly, and dropped the top half of my body with a thud. "Oww" I groaned. She laughed at me.

"Well thats what you get for not helping nimrod" she teased.

"Touche" I replied, standign up beside her. I threw an arm around her shoulder and rested on her small frame like a railing, crossing one foot over the other, "you commin back to my place?" I asked, "It is friday and that is OUR day" I reminded her, stretching out the 'our'.

"Ummmm what kind of best friend would I be if I didn't?" she asked me in a dumb tone.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm driving so hurry up and go get in" I ushered her, "I gotta go and talk to the boys quickly" she gave me a thumbs up, but quickly stood up to her tippy toes, her hand pulled my top half closer to her body by my shoulder, and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I felt a slight blush creep to my cheeks and started to walk down towards the principles office.

Just as I expected, one of the four idiots were getting yelled at by Principle Wenchester, "hey guys" I sighed, sitting in the empty chair between Daniel and Jack, it seemd Jonah was getting yelled at this time, "what's up?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at Daniels sudden uneasyness. I knew Jonah was never a trouble maker, if he was in here, it was something good.

"Jonah, he uh, he was just trying to defend her honour" Daniel mumbled shyly. I was confused to say the least.

"Who's honour?" I asked again.

"Y/N. Chuck, he uh, he was talking smack about her and it wasn't very nice stuff to say either" Daniel winced at my sudden tensed figure.

"What was he saying?" I asked, my head hung low as my fists clenched to the arms of the chair, "Daniel" I said when he wouldn't answer, "What did he say?" my voice dripped venom.

"He was calling her a virgin, saying things about her body, how he was going to play her. Play her like a game" he replied to me finally. I stretched a long sigh before her turned to me. "I know you really love her Corbs, I do, but if you don't do something he is" Daniel erged.

"He has a point" Jakc chimed in, "you are never going to get the girl if you are the guy who sits back and let others walk all over her" I nodded my head knowingly, it was hard though. Me and Y/N have been best friends since seventh grade, now it was our last year, 12.

"I gotta go" i muttered before rushing down the empty hallways. I frantically looked around for Y/N as I stood on the school steps. I saw her leaning against my car door, getting impatient. I released a sigh of content and started walking down the steps. I thought she was good, Chuck didn't talk to her, he was no where in sight so obvivously everything was fine. Right?

I spoke to soon because as I got closer to her, I saw her puffy red eyes and her smudged mascara. "About time you got here" she tried to smile, forcing a little laugh from her gorgeous lips.

"I'm sorry. What happened to you?" I asked even though I alreayd knew.

"Chuck, he uhh" she paused, looking up and away from me, she was trying not to cry, trying not to break, "he was trying to use me, he was playing me Corbs. I actually thought someone finally noticed me; turns out I was just blind and still a nobody" her bottom lip quivered as she spoke. Her hand moved to her mouth, I could tell she was biting on her finger, trying not to cry out.

"He didn't deserve you anyways. C'mon I know just was you need" I smiled and opened her car door for her. She smiled a genuine smile at me before climbing in.

*Time skip*

"I don't know Corbs, I'll never be noticed by anyone more then the people that sit beside me in classes. Hell the only friends I have are you and the guys and I am still the odd one out. I've never been noticed, I'm just a ghost" she ranted on, her head was laying on my lap as a movie played quietly.

"Don't say that" I muttered. I hated when she talked bad about herself. I love this girl with my whole damn heart and it pains me to see her beat herself up over things like this.

"Why Corbyn? It's true! I'm going to die alone and be eaten by my cats because no one will think of me because I am a nobody and I go unnoticed" she exasperated.

"It's not because I notice!" I almost yelled. She looked taken back before sitting upright to face me.

"What do you mean?" she asked me. I wanted ot take it back, I wish I never said a thing.

"I notice you, all day, every damn day. I notice the little things, I notice how your hands shake when you hold your pencil over your drawings but whe nit hits the paper its magic, I notice the way you always try and smile and laugh in the worst moments, I notice how yo pull on the ends of your bunny hug or long sleeve shirt when you're nervous, I notice you because I am so deep in love with you it's insane, but i've noticed how you think I'm more like a brother and nothing more" I sighed, I grew anxious when she didn't speak for a while. I looked over to her, I met her questioning green eyes, she had me held captive.

"Corbyn" she drug my name out, making me think the worst, "I wish you would have said something sooner" she lightly laughed.

"Wait, you mean I didn't just completely mess everything up?" I asked dumbfounded.

"No you goof. I like you too" she smiled. She lowered herself back down onto my lap and looked up to me.

"Soooo now what?" I laughed like a little kid.

"Well now you either ask me on a proper date, or you ask me to be your girlfriend and hope for the best" her eyes held a glimpse of excitment, I knew I couldn't give the wrong answer. I didn't want to rush into things, but i didn't want to miss out on picking her up at 7:30 and taking her to the movies or late night beach walks.

"Well how about I take you on a proper date, but you be my girlfriend, obivously, or you just be my girlfriend and we go on dates after that" I gave her the options.

"I think I like the sound of me being your girlfriend and then you take me out on dates" she told me. I nodded my head and smiled like a goofball.

"Deal"
