Getting Out Of The Friendzone

Warm, soft lips. So gentle, yet eager and wanting. No. Needing.  

My lips craved to feel them, to know what they felt like against my own. 

"Tori. What's the answer?" 

I snapped out of my daydream and brushed my bangs behind my ear. 

"Uhhh.. 30?" 

Mr. Ryan shook his head and gave me a serious look. I hate that look. It shouldn't be on such a hot teacher. 

"Pay attention, Fields." 

I nodded and my attention went back to its previous thoughts. His eyes met mine and he winked at me, my cheeks going hot as my stomach went to my throat. I stuck my tongue out at him and we both laugh at ourselves.  

So, I am drooling over my best friend. It's not my fault, he's just extremely good looking in his own nerdy way. I mean, I know for a fact I can't live without him. I can't. It's just not possible. He's made me happier in the 2 years that I've known him then anyone has my entire life. That's quiet a accomplishment on his behalf. 

"Hey. Take a picture, dork." My best friend, Halley, teased. 

I smirked at her."Already have a picture. It's just not as good as the real thing, Hales." 

"God, you guys are so weird. Seriously. Make out already and become a couple."  

I shrugged."Where's the fun in that? I like to play with my food, Halley. You know that." 

She shuddered and rolled her eyes."Really? REALLY? Now I can't get the image out of my head." 

The bell rang and I stood up, laughing at her. 

"Hey, you put it there yourself. Not my fault so don't blame me." 

"I will blame you!" 

"It won't hold up in court though. I'd win and get our children." 

She shot glares at me."You wouldn't." 

"Oh she would. This is Tori we're talking about. Shes evil!" 

I turned and punched Dj's left arm, glaring at him."I am not evil." 

Dj burst out laughing."That's a funny joke. Tell me another one." 

I stuck my tongue out at him and walked into the library, dropping my stuff on one of the tables. 

"You ditching or something today?" Dj smirked. 

I rolled my eyes."I don't know. Science doesn't sound like the funnest thing in the world right now." 

"When was science ever fun?" 

"Um.. When you got to make those styrofoam solar system things." 

Dj shrugged and sat on the table."Touché." 

I walked over to the manga section and sat on the floor, grabbing one of the Blood+ books. 

"No Bleach today?" Dj settled down next to me and read over my shoulder. 

"No. They didn't get the new release this week. Maybe this weekend they'll get it because I need to read it." 

"What about Elfen Lied?" 

"Finished it. Come on. Give me some credit, Dj." 

He chuckled and I glanced at him, his brown eyes gazing back. God, I want to kiss him. Just to feel those luscious lips against mine. How many have gotten the pleasure of kissing them? Do those girls know how lucky they are to have had the chance to feel the thing I long for?
