The Boy Next Door (Chase Hudson)

Chapter One

 Emma's pov

Chase Hudson and I have been friends since the day he moved in next door.

Flashback~

Mom, can I go color on the driveway with my chalk?

Sure, Emma, I'll call you when dinner is ready. Mom said while cooking what appeared to be chicken.

Ok, thanks, mom. I then walk to the garage and grab the chalk. Once the door is open, I notice this moving van so I quickly put the chalk back and go to the end of the driveway to figure out who is now living next door.

I don't see anyone so I start to walk back when this young boy who looked around my age walks out of the house. He sees me and starts to approach me. When he reaches me he sticks out his hand and says " Hi I'm Chase Hudson."

I take his hand and say "H-hi I'm Emma. How old are you?"

"I'm Nine years old, how about you?" The boy I now know is named chase says

"Oh cool, I'm also Nine. So where did you move from?" I asked him. He seems pretty nice and he's cute I think to myself. I hope we're in the same class when school starts.

"My family and I moved from across town so not that far from here." He says.

End of Flashback~

We are now juniors in high school and remain best friends to this day.

I text chase, seeing if he wants to hangout.

                                                                                    Hey chasey, wanna hangout?

Chase 💜

Sure Em, I'll be right over

                                                                                     Emma

                                                                                      Ok, see ya

I've had a massive crush on chase since he moved in next door. I never told him because I don't think he likes me back and I don't want to ruin our friendship. I always hated when he had a girlfriend, but I wanted him to be happy so I put away my feelings and dated some other boys. I heard the front door close then footsteps coming up the stairs to my room. I realize Chase is here and I start grinning. I hear my door open and see him standing there.

I've always really liked Emma, but I didn't want to mess up our friendship. she always got mad when I dated girls so I ended them if she didn't like them, but she doesn't know that. I didn't really like it when she had a boyfriend, I was always there for her breakups like she was with me for mine. I was just about to text her when her name pops up on my screen

Ok, see ya

I always love it when she calls me nicknames. I walk over to her house. I walk right in and up to her room to see her grinning at me. I really want to tell her how I feel but I don't want to ruin anything.
