"Tony don't even start." I laughed as he started talking about the time I almost burned myself blowing out my candles on my birthday cake to my new friend, Katlyn. "Oh c'mon! It was mad funny." Tony laughed. Katlyn started to laugh too by how we were acting. "Fine tell her you idiot." I jokingly said. "Ok, so...she was blowing out the candles a-and," he started laughing hysterically. Then the bell rang. "C'mon guys. Let's go." I said. "Okay." Tony and katlyn said.
Tony was right beside me and I whispered "I hate you." He chuckled. "Oh whatever Mia. You know you love me." He said as we walked into the class. And I kinda admit, I did kinda love him. We've known each other since the 3rd grade and we haven't been torn apart since. He was always that sweet, funny type of person. And that's what I loved about him.

Me and Tony hugged as we parted ways to go back home. That's when he called me. "Mia"
"Yeah tony?" I asked wondering why he would just stop me. "Can I stay over actually?" he asked me and my face kinda just stayed "shook". He's never been to my house and I haven't been to his either. So it was a surprise. "Uhm...sure?.." I said not liking the idea of this. We didn't have homework and we didn't have any studying to do.
"So what you wanna do?" Tony asked taking food from the pantry. "I don't know. And I didn't say you could take anything from my pantry." I said crossing my arms like a child. "Well, I already did, so oh well." He said, opening the chips in his hand. "Not if I take it." And I snatched it from his hands. "Hey!" He kinda yelled. "You can't catch me slow poke hahah!" I said. "Wanna bet?" he said and started chasing after me.
He caught up to me and picked me up and I wanted to get down but he wouldn't let go. "Tony, let me down!" I said to him. "Then give me my chips back." he demanded so I did and he put me down. "I hate you." I said and crossed my arms. "Just remember what I said at school, you love me." He said. I kinda smiled and blushed. "I'm going upstairs." I said and I went to my room. I turned my phone on to see messages from my mom saying she'll be home really late. I didn't bother responding. I plopped down on my bed and heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I simply replied. Tony opened the door and sat down on the edge of my bed. "What's up?" I asked. "Uhm...I kind have something to tell u..." he nervously said. I got up from my position and looked at him. "What is it." I asked him.
"Well, I've been hiding a secret..and I kinda..love this girl...and I don't know how to tell her." He said.
"What's she like?" I asked, my heart kinda breaking.
"She has this beautiful heart, on the inside and out..." he started. "And she's sitting right in front of me." he finished.
My stomach kinda...felt funny. I actually couldn't believe this was happening.
"So...uhm...do you like me back, or...love me back?" he asked.
I didn't know what to do, and I also didn't want to screw things up from doing something stupid.
"Uhm...I-uhm....no" I said and I saw the disappointment in his eyes.
"I'm sorry-"
"No, I-its fine, I gotta go." he said and went downstairs and left.
I felt bad for him. I was mostly mad at myself for messing this up.
My eyes started getting blurred with tears and I started crying. I plopped down on my pillow and cried on it.
