When we got off of the plane last night Marcus and I couldn't go back asleep so we stayed up and talked about stupid things. We talked about how we met. When we became best friends. We talked about Karen, and how she made us the best of friends. She was determined for the three of us to be an unstoppable team. We were the three weirdos. Karen and I met in first grade we hated each other until 5th grade. We were always together. In 6th grade I met Marcus in Science class. We became best friends instantly and when he started sitting with me at lunch he met Karen. Then we talked about my very first love. Sophie's boyfriend. His name is Alan. He was one of my closest friends then we fell in love. Completely fell for each other. Karen went behind my back and flirted with him while we were dating and he broke up with me for her. Now Sophie is dating him. I never speak about him and I have not trusted boys since Alan. We tried to be friends but I am not strong enough for that. Then Marcus says it. He grabs my hand looks me in the eyes, and says "Skye Waters I am in love with you, I cannot be just your best friend Skye, I watched Alan and Cole break your heart and I am here no matter what, Skye I will never leave you I love you with my body heart and soul until death." I took a deep breathe and I leaned in to kiss him. Marcus has always just been a friend. I never looked at him this way. I whispered in his ear. "I love you too you stupid idiot." Then my mom came running out of her hotel room. "Um honey, Skye someone is on the phone."
