My Ex-Jerk of a Best friend (Revamped)

Prologue

So here it is folks, the day you have been waiting for. I found some of the old chapters of "My ex-jerk of a bestfriend" and decided to bring it back from the dead. I will be making changes to the book, I did write this almost 5 years ago. So here's the first chapter of the 'Revamped' version. To all the people who loved this book, I'm sorry it took so long!

- Happy Reading xx

"Tag your it"

Tapping Troy on the back, I use my tiny legs to run as fast as I can away from him.

"What!! Not fair, I wasn't ready!" Troy sulks.

"To bad, don't be a sore loser!" I tease, turning around to face him well running backwards.

"I'm not a sore loser, take that back!" he glares, as he starts to chase me.

"LOSER, LOSER, LOSER!" I chant, as I turn back around and start sprinting as fast as I can.

All of a sudden, I feel my foot hit something and my whole body starts to fall forward. Just before I hit the ground, I use my arm to shield my face from hitting the gravel. A searing pain shoots through me, as my arm grazes across the gravel. A painful scream leaves my lips, and tears start to pour down my face.

Troy runs to my side, with a concerned expression on his face. Kneeling down beside me, he starts to assess the damage. "Are you alright Till?"

"My arm..." I sob, showing Troy my bleeding arm. "It hurts T!"

"Come on Till, lets go inside and clean up your arm!" Troy says helping me up off the ground. I follow him through the house, until we reach the bathroom. He puts the toilet seat down, and points for me to sit. As soon as I've sat down, I watch him as he starts going through the medicine cupboard and pulls out the first aid box. He then grabs a cloth, and places it under running water until it's soaked.

"Tilly this is going to hurt..." he warns, taking ahold of my injured arm. "I'll try to be as gentle as I can."

Troy gets to work at cleaning my arm, his tongue sticking out as he concentrates on what he is doing. I wince every now and then, and a few tears escape from the pain. Troy whispers apologies and tells me how brave I am, and before I know it he's all done. "All Done"

I assess his handy work, and send him a thankful smile.

"Thank you T"

"It's okay Till, that's what bestfriends are for!" he smiles, but then it turns into a frown. "I hate seeing you hurt!"

"Don't be sad T. I'm okay now, all thanks to you!" I stand up, and pull him in for a hug.

I feel butterflies start to form in the pit of my stomach as I pull away, that heart melting smile is plastered back on his face.

"Come on Till, I know where mum hides all her sweets." he says excitedly, as he pulls me out of the bathroom.

And that folks, was the day I fell in love with my bestfriend!

16 YEARS OLD

Today's the last day of Year 9, and the day I finally pluck up the courage to tell my Best Friend how I feel. I walk out the front door of school, and make my way to the parking lot. I spot Troy leaning on the front of his car, surrounded by all his friends. The site of him makes my heart almost jump out of my chest.

Troy is the most popular guy at Hills High School, and as for me. Well I'm at the bottom of the food chain. Besides Troy, I have no other friends. How cliché right! Unfortunately for me, that is my reality.
