All is Fair in Love and School (COMPLETE)

:) 24 - I Had To Pee (:

"Good morning sleepyhead."

"I said wake up!"

"Ugh," Stef grunts beside me.

"It's time to look hot, you're seeing Zach," I try to coerce her out of bed.

For once, I'm up before Stef. Actually, for once, I'm up before anyone else. I deserve a damn medal. I enjoy my bed, sue me.

I look down at Stef's still body. Well, rolling her out of bed it is. Literally.

I push her with all the morning strength I have in me. I, being the body builder that I am, am able to push her right off the bed. She falls with a squeal to the squishy carpet a few feet below. Hopefully, she survived the fall.

"I'm up," She grumbles from the floor.

Mission accomplished.

"Good, we have 20 minutes before we have to leave."

"I could've slept for 19 more minutes."

I roll my eyes, "You have to go look good for your mans."

With that, she pushes herself off the floor and grudges along to the bathroom.

Oh, it feels good to wake up before Stef. Usually, I get a nice bucket of water in the face when she sleeps over. How the tables have turned.

"Is Edward coming today?" Stef asks from the bathroom.

"No, I should, but I feel guilty," I shrug my shoulders even though she can't see me.

"Why's that?"

"From what James said. I feel like if I invite him to our Saturdays, then James wins."

Stef finally steps out of the bathroom, looking like a meal, "It's not a competition."

"Doesn't mean I want him to be right about me replacing him."

Stef sits down in the bed and I join her. We have about 5 minute before we have to leave, but that's at the back of our minds.

I sigh, "I never wanted to replace James. I never wanted to lose him."

"I know you didn't. He's the one that pushed you away."

"Yet, sometimes, it feels like it's my fault."

"Is it possible," She notices that I'm making a face at her, "Hear me out, is it possible that you feel guilty because you like him?"

"I do like him, he's my best friend."

"I know you know what I mean."

I smile slightly but don't truthfully answer her question.

After everything that had happened between James and I, I had tried to avoid any sort of feelings interfere again. I didn't want us to drift apart because one of us took it too far or didn't feel the same way. He'd always been my best friend, he'd always be my best friend. At least I thought.

"Do you tell each other you love the other one?"

"No."
