"Does it only happen in movies?" I asked my best friend as we walked home from school.

He turned to me, not stopping. "What?"his brow raised in question.

"Falling in love with your best friend," I said as if it was just an ordinary conversation. Little did he know, it took me days to muster the courage to bring it up. I wanted to know what he thinks.

Part of me didn't want to, but what can I do? I'm only human.

He shook his shoulders once, "Dunno," he said staring straight ahead, his walks were very light, making the way home slightly longer.

I didn't know what to say so I stayed quiet.

Maybe he doesn't. What was I thinking?

Stupid girl. He only thinks of you as a friend.

Better make the feelings go away.

"How about you?" he asked. "Do you think it happens?"

I do. I want to.

"No," I found myself saying. "Friends should stay as friends."

Before I looked away to blink back my tears, I thought I saw a little disappointment on his face.

No. Must be my imagination.
