Peppermint

The fifth day of summer 1998

Violets pov
I have had a massive crush on my best friend since the day she walked into class on the second day of term in eighth grade , I knew from the second I saw her we had to be friends . She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen ... her body curved in all the right places , she had a dark olive tanned skin and her eyes were a bright crystal blue like the ocean - her hair curled down in a caramel blonde colour , it stretched down to the bottom of her of her back , just curling at the ends like mine . It was so beautifully long and sometimes she would even twist it round her fingers and let it shine in the sunlight so it would become a bright golden colour . I sat behind her for a whole term in pretty much each lesson and watched some of the beautiful things she did , the most stunning clothes she wore , the way she listen to the teachers with such awe and twist her pen in her hand like it was nothing . She was the most stunning girl I'd ever seen in my life and I was determined to become friends with her . And I did . We became more than that , we became best friends . We got on like a "house on fire" and spoke pretty much every day about absolutely anything . Sometimes we don't even talk about anything . Becoming friends with her was something I wanted as soon as she walked into the room and whenever we were together she made me fall for her faster than I'd ever fallen for anyone.
The way she moved her dainty hands and how her soft curls moved around in a way that no one else's does , how brightly sapphire her eyes are , how they stare me straight in the eyes making my heart drop every time . I just wished she would like me back

Since eighth grade I've literally loved her . And she's never loved me back . The amount times I've been jealous of her - especially when she basically had sex with Marley I almost cried . I know it's probably bad to hide this from her for this long . But after four months of having a crush on someone it becomes love so what else am I supposed to say ? What if she doesn't like me back . I don't think she even likes girls anyway ....
