Junior year of High school It's the first year for prom and a multitude of other things each less interesting than tbe previous You would think that perhaps by now two people who had been best friends and presumably have feelings for each other since sevenfh grade would finally get their individual lives under control and get together

You would be wrong

My teeth lightly dug into my bottom lip as i struggled to hold my heavy history textbook smaetphone coffee and notebook all at the same time Typically one of my friends would come over and help but considering the fact that none of them were currently in sight something made me believe that wouldn't be happening anytime soon

Charlie- Riley

A overly familiar voice called apparently noticing my complications Of course Charlie

We had drifted apart a bit after the disastrous Mew Year's Eve back when we were both just confised fourteen year old kids nothing more than eighth graders woth lives more complex than they probably should have been It hadn't been until about last month that he had actually started talking to me again Maya seemed to interpret the entire situation as shameless flirting and even Farkle warned me to be cautious about whatever signals i was planning on sending Charlie

Personally i thought they were completely out of their minds Your feelings for someone you had a tiny feeble little crush on back in middle school would not suddenly reappear a few years later It sounded like the worst possible cliche a human being could stumble across

Managing to plaster the smallest of halfhearted smiles on my face i reluctantly glanced away from my personal mess of various items

Riley- Hi Charlie

The dark haired boy chuckled Quietly his eyes fleetingly darting down to my full arms before carefully grasping my textbook and notebook leaving me with only my cell phone and coffee

Charlie- Better

He Questioned his tone surprisingly soft It was almost difficult to hear over the cluster of talkative students surrounding us too caught up in their own individual lives and problems to take much notice of either of us

I smiled this one feeling a tad bit more sincere

Riley- Much better Thank you Charlie I haven't been thinking as straight as i usually would have and apparently grabbing a bunch of different delicate things at the same time wasn't the greatest idea

Charlie- Don't worry we've all done it

He reassured me his bright smile and eager to please attitude vaguely reminding me of a faithful golden retrievee The thought itself caused a slight blush to warm my rosy cheeks an awkward laugh escaping my lips

Charlie- I'm guessing you're heading to your dad's class

The history textbook most likely tipped him off

Riley- Yeah

I mumbled not bothering to ask him if he was heading in the same direction We had been in the same history class throughout all of high school and most of middle school There wasn't really any reason to ask pointless Questions
