my best friend ethan, had just ended a relationship with his now, ex girlfriend. he was kinda down about it but he seemed to have taken it well, which surprised me.
ethan leans up against my locker as i grab my biology text book. "ethan, are you suuuuure you're ok?" i ask him just to make sure. he smiles, still staring at my face and replies, "y/n, i'm fine. i kinda broke up with her because i like someone else" i look at him.
the two of us have been besties since grade 5 even though i've secretly always liked him. so, naturally, my heart dropped. "wow, you moved on quickly" i tell him, giggling.
i shut my locker and walk with him. "actually, i never moved on" he says. he was fiddling with his fingers. i immediately roll my eyes. "alright ethan, tell me the details" i order him in a stern voice. he glances at me until his hazel eyes slowly drift to the floor. "um, well-" the bell rang, causing me to slightly jump. "got to get to class!" he yells to me, already on the other side of the hallway.
i look around, to see it empty. "shoot.." i say as i run to biology.

class finished at 3:00 and i had my mind set on finding ethan before he escapes. i look frantically around for him. he wasn't at his locker, nor in the gym; the only places i could think where he'd be.
"ethan!" i called out. everyone now had their eyes on me.
"oh, uh don't mind me, just looking for my...dog" i say awkwardly.
i heard quiet whispers and someone burst out laughing.
ethan
i spot his face in a crowd of his friends.
"yo! ethan, we need to talk" i tell him. "woah wait. i'm a dog? how come you never told me? what a great friend you are!" he laughs.
"stop stalling and listen to me!"
he sighs. "whaaaaat?" he whines.
"spill the beans. who is it you like, and why is she so important?" i ask him. he chuckles.
"ok! ok! hmmm...you know her pretty well, and she's important to me because she understands me, and although i've known her for seven years i still seem to find out new things about her, and she's really beautiful, she makes me freeze every time i see her" he finishes, as he stares right at me.
i smile. "she must be special to you then" i say. "y/n, you're the dumbest person i've ever met" ethan tells me, now laughing his head off. "ok that was just rude!" i yell at him, playfully slapping his shoulder.
"its you!"
i almost gasp but can't because his lips slam into mine. my arms wrap around his neck as his make their way around my torso. i smile against his lips. my legs felt noodles and i had insane butterflies in my stomach.
"y/n, its you and its always has been. i was just too shy while thinking i'm not good enough for you" he breathes out. "and maybe you are too good for me but if you want i can take care of you and keep you happy and make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for you all day. i can be your shopping buddy and we can dance together and watch movies together and-"
i place my finger over his lips to make him be quiet. "i like that idea" i tell him smiling. he tightens his grip around my waist. "and don't you ever say you aren't good enough for me...i love you" i exhaled as he buried his face into my neck.
"I love you too..." he mumbles.
