she met him when they were 8 years old. they soon became best friends. they talked nearly everyday.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" The little girl said to the boy lying on the floor. She had bumped into him while playing with her friends.

"It's okay. It didn't hurt too much." The boy replied. The girl reached out her hand to the boy, helping him get off of the ground.

Once the boy got up, the girl introduced herself. "I'm (Y/n)!"

"I'm Johnny." The boy replied, twiddling with his thumbs, a light coat of pink dusted over his cheeks. (Y/n) just stared at him for a minute before smiling, taking his hand, and dragging him off to play with her and her friends.

when they were 9 years old...

"Johnny! Hurry up! We're gonna be late to school!" (Y/n) yelled, running down the sidewalk with her Hello Kitty backpack on. Johnny ran after her with his Pokémon backpack, not wanting to lose sight of his best friend.

When they got to their classroom, they introduced themselves together. The teacher sat the two next to each other, and they didn't bother talk with anyone other than themselves.

when they were 10 years old...

"Hey lovebirds!" Their friends yelled, running to catch up with their two friends. Both (Y/n) and Johnny rolled their eyes.

"How many times do we have to tell you that we're not in love with each other?" Johnny asked, exasperated.

"Honestly, we're just friends." (Y/n) added.

"Whatever you say..." One of their friends muttered under their breath.

when they were 11 years old...

(Y/n) sat on the bleachers, watching Johnny serve for their middle school volleyball team. He was the youngest player, but he was better than most kids his age. When the other team couldn't return Johnny's serve, (Y/n) got up and cheered loudly for Johnny. He looked back at her and gave her a bashful smile, and she couldn't help but notice the new sensation sprouting in her stomach from looking at Johnny.

when they were 12 years old...

"I like you." (Y/n) told Johnny at his locker. He turned to look at her and opened his mouth before (Y/n) quickly cut him off, panicked. 

"That was just a stupid prank. Irene said she'd get me two cookies if I did it. I promise I'll give one to you. Anyways, see ya!" The girl rambled before quickly running away. Her heart was pounding from her "fake" confession. She took a couple deep breaths before she went to go buy two cookies: one for her, and one for Johnny.

when they were 13 years old...

"I like you." Johnny confessed.

"I-I like you too, Johnny!" The girl said happily. The two hugged before timidly holding hands. (Y/n) just watched from her locker, feeling a stinging sensation in her chest.

"Oh yeah, I broke up with her. She just... wasn't what I was looking for. Plus, it's middle school dating. That stuff never lasts more than a week." Johnny told (Y/n) while walking her home from school. A weight seemed to be lifted off of her shoulders, and the thick, unknown tension that had been resting between the two of them had finally disappeared.
