In Love with His Best Friend

The Call at School

When I woke up, I ran to the bathroom, got dressed, then ran down stairs. "Calm down Jordan. You still have time. Delilah doesn't get here for 20 more minutes." I sigh. She puts a bowl of cereal in front of me. Before I can grab it my sister, Mia takes it.

I just gave up breakfast for the day so I grabbed a banana, sat in the living room, and watched tv. I hear a honking on the door. I grabbed my bag and started to head out. "Forgetting something?" I turn around and see my mom holding my phone. When I see her grab my phone I instantly grabbed it, but before I could even grab the door knob I remember Zach's number.

I run to my room, put the number in my hand with my phone, then zoomed out the door before Mia or mom can say what happened.

I hopped into Delilah's car.

"You Bitch."

"Ok what did I miss?"

"You never texted me."

"You dumb shit. I never called him I was going to do it now."

"Oh sorry bae."

"Yeah yeah we all knew that was coming."

As Delilah starts driving, I start typing in Zach's number. I press call. "Tell him I said hi!" said Delilah. I give her a face. By the look in my eyes he knows I'm not going to say that.

"Hello?" Just hearing his voice made me feel like we were already dating.

"Hey it's Jordan from yesterday. Sorry I didn't call soon I had to finish howmwork."

"It's fine." I heard screaming in the background. After the screaming I heard banging as if someone was running on a wood floor. "Jack give it back!!"

"Is everything ok?"

"Yeah my little brother is just a pain in the ass."

"I understand. I have a little sister and as a Halloween prank last year she put a knife up to my neck."

"Oh my God. Hey the school bus is here. I'll see you later."

I smiled and then hung up. As I look up we are arriving at school. Me and Delilah sigh. I grabbed my backpack and open the door swinging my backpack on my back. Delilah does the same.

"So how was it hearing his voice." says Delilah

"It's was good."

"Yeah like real good."

"Oh my God. No! It was like talking to my boy-" I stopped and took a moment. "My best friend." I said as a cover up. "Yeah I believe you." By the way Delilah said that I knew she knows what was meant to come out.

Me and Delilah walk into the hallway down to my locker. I opened my locker and start going threw my books for what I need. Dell leans on the lockers next to mine and starts reenacting a scene from Romeo and Juliet.

"Ok why are you saying that?" I said laughing. "Because of you and Zach." I roll my eyes and smile. Dell keeps on talking about Zach about all his good looks like his smile and the way he gets his hair beautifully messy. As she is talking, my eye sight starts turning darker. Almost like a navy blue color.

I start squinting and wobbling. Dell is still talking. I feel my heart pounding faster and faster as the room gets darker and then I begin to shake. I turn to my right to tell Dell I don't feel well when all I see is the floor turning black right before my eyes. I can't see, move, and I can barley breath. I can still hear. I hear Dell shaking me to wake up and telling me louder ever time she says my name to wake up.

Eventually she gave up. I hear her scream "NURSE COME QUICK!" Then silence. I feel my body being put in a siting position on the floor. "I can't hold her to my office, get someone Dell." I hear the nurse say.

In the matter if 1 minute, I hear running of two people down the hallway. at this point I'm starting to regain my vision, and the first person I see on one knee with his hand on my shoulder is Zach.
