More Than Friends

Preface

See, here's the thing.

I LIKE LABELLA. I have no feelings for G.

What I just told you was a lie. I like both of them, but I like LaBella more. Both of them have had huge crushes on me since forever.

SINCE FOREVER.

I feel bad for G though because last year I friend zoned her. I don't know why! I didn't know she liked me!

She sent Leksi to ask me if I liked her (G.) And I, being the stupid person I was (am) said:

AS A FRIEND.

Leksi said "Oh" then left. All I remember after that was G's brown eyes burning holes into my back during lunch.

We weren't that close then. It was the last day of school.

Then there's LaBella. She knows about G's crush on me, but G doesn't know about LaBella's huge crush on me. LaBella lets G like me. She gets hurt because she can't look at me the way G does.

G always jokes about how no one can date me. All three of us know it's a joke, but for some strange reason, we all take it pretty seriously.

Example 1: August (First Day of School this year)
This girl named June, who I happened to have a MAJOR crush on asked me out. G literally jumped in between us and pushed June away.

LaBella stood by the lockers, chuckling. But I saw it. The hurt in her eyes when G grabbed my wrist. She couldn't do that to me. G was her best friend. She came up with mine and G's "ship name." Whatever that is.

I'm pretty sure it's Gach but I don't know. G-Zach? Zag? I give up.

Anyway, that same day during lunch when June and I were alone. She asked me out and I said yes.

She moved schools the next day.

So yeah, that happened.

Example 2: Third Grade

"Look what I drew, Zach!" LaBella came running toward me with a paper.

It was her and me as stick figure people, holding hands and in love. On the bottom was the old fashioned note: Will you go out with me? Check yes or no.

G saw it, tore it up and kissed me on the cheek. None of us knew what was going on, so we just shrugged it off.

Anyway, I know you're not here to listen about G's jealousy issues. You're here to hear about how I

SCREWED MY LIFE UP.
