Until We Meet Again

Taylor Elizabeth Evans

Have you ever watched a movie where the best friends fall in love? Well, I've been in love with my best friend for years but he's never seen me that way.

"Hurry up Taylor or you'll be late" my stepmom yelled from downstairs. 

"Ok, I'll be down in a sec Mia," I said while I checked myself in the mirror quickly. My red hair was in a messy bun and my bangs were just above my hazel eyes. I was wearing a thin grey shirt, black pants, and a pair of white Adidas.  

Mia married my dad last year. She is nice and fun. We've gotten close. But she hates being late once I didn't want to wake up she threw cold water on me. 

"Ok I'm done," I said while running down the stairs. My dad was drinking coffee in the kitchen. 

"Have a great day princess" he hugged me. 

"I'll try" I chuckled. I got into the car with Mia and she drove me to school. 

I was grabbing some books for my next class when my locker was shut closed.  

"Hey bestie" I got hugged by one of my best friends, Jasmine Collins.  Jasmine had long black hair that was always straightened and she had brown eyes. Jasmine was wearing a short halter neck red dress with a denim jacket and some black booties. 

"Hey. Have you see Mae yet?" I asked and hugged her back. Mae Sanchez is another one of my best friends. 

I meet both Mae and Jasmine in 3rd grade. Jasmine had just moved to town and Mae and I had the same idea. To befriend the new girl then the three of us were inseparable. 

"Nope running late per usual" she shrugged.  

"So have you talked to Scott yet?" Jasmine asked me. 

"No" I simply replied. 

Scott Wilson is my best guy friend. He has short blonde hair with sky blue eyes. He is an athlete so he is fit. He usually wears a solid color shirt and a pair of light blue jeans and his letterman jacket. Scott and I have known each other since kindergarten. I have had a crush on him since 4th grade but he has never seen me that way. So I have tried to get over my crush on him by dating but it just didn't work out. We lasted a week before deciding its best we stay friends.   

"Tay you have to tell him how you feel or he will just keep being a player," Jasmine said to me. 

"You know she's right." I turn to see Mae. Mae dressed more casually than Jasmine. Mae usually wore a pair of jeans with a random sweatshirt and some vans. Mae had her hair in a ponytail and she had very dark brown eyes. 

"Look I know but what if he doesn't like me like that" I sighed

"You will never know if you don't tell him," Mae said. Jas and Mae both hugged me. 

"I'll think about it ok?" I told them. I have my 2nd period with him. Yay.

So I walk into my second class. I love this class. I have always been great at math. I sit next to Scott in the third row. 

"Hey there Lizzy" he waved at me. 

"I told you only Issac calls me by my middle name," I told him 

"Eh," he shrugged.

"Just stop. Here comes the teacher." I turned to face the teacher.

"Ok class if you would please turn to page 249 of your book we will start today's lesson."  Our teacher Mr. Mason was lenient. So after we read the pages we did the 2-page worksheet and  I just used my phone.  

"Hey, Taylor can you help me with the last question?" I turn to Scott. 

  "Um yeah sure just give me a second," I said while finishing what I was doing on my phone and put it down. After I helped him there were about 8 minutes left in class. I went back to my phone. Scott went to talk to some of his friends in this class. Once the bell rang I made my way to my next class. Which luckily I have Mae in. 

"Hey girl" she smiled. "Did you talk to him?"

"Other than telling him to stop calling me Lizzy and helping with one problem, No," I told her walking over to my desk. I sat down and she went to her desk. This class and the rest were a usual Wednesday. Finally, it was time for lunch.
