Just Friends

1: you need a boyfriend

01: you need a boyfriend

That following summer...

Morgan: Have you ever had a boyfriend before?

I chuckled to myself as I looked back at my phone screen. Ever since Elle and I talked about her relationship with Morgan last night, they've been trying to find the perfect man for me to date.

Me: Why?

Morgan: Because you wouldn't know how good it feels to be in a relationship otherwise.

Me: I've heard enough to stories to know that it usually ends bad.

Morgan: Most get lucky though. Take Elouise and myself for example.

Me: But you guys are different.

Morgan: Lena. You need a boyfriend.

Me: No Morgan. I don't.

Morgan: Yes, you need one. Just trust me on this. What kind of guys are you into?

I thought about it for a second. Actually no, I didn't. I've seen and read enough books to know the type of guy I want. And I mean I guess I could give in to Morgan, just a little. After all chances of him finding a man to match my dreams are practically nonexistent. And say Morgan does somehow manage to do that, then there's defiantly no way the guy would ever want to go out with me. He'd likely be way out of my league as well.

Me: Fine. Good luck finding my Prince Charming though. You'll need it

Morgan: Thanks. *wink face* Now. What are you looking for in a guy??

I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

Me: Someone I can trust.

Morgan: Okay...What about like qualities? Like Athletic, geeky, etc...

Me: idk what do you want me to say.

Morgan: Like just describe your dream boyfriend.

Me: No. That's stupid.

Morgan: Lena! How else are we supposed to find you perfect match?

Me: Oh. Um I don't know. Maybe you just give you instead you know? Seems simple enough to me

Morgan: Lena shut up and describe that first traits that come to mind when you think of a perfect relationship.

Me: Someone I can really be honest with about myself and about the things happening with me. I don't know? I'm like a super straight forward person and I guess that kind of a bad thing. Like if something is on my mind, I'll just say it or do something about it without really thinking too much about what might happen afterwards

Morgan: Yeah, that's a good thing most of the time don't worry

Me: Thanks. Oh, and he's got to be funny and super caring and really sweet. Decently creative to and accepting to new ideas. He'd have a similar yet different mind set than me so it's like having a fresh perspective in my life. Someone I can learn from and they inspire my to become better person for myself. Like he inspires me to be the best version of myself that I can be.

Morgan: UGHH.

Me: Lol told you it was a lost cause

I rolled my eyes at the phone and shook my head side to side. Just as I was about to get up and set it on nightstand, when Morgan sent me another text.

Morgan: WAIT. OMG, I GOT IT.

Oh lord. No, he can't That's way too fast. He can't possibly have someone in mind that quickly.

Me: What

Morgan: IT'S KEITH REYES. OMG ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS KEITH.

What? Now I was even more confused. There's no way in hell Morgan was referring to Keith. That kid was well out of my league. I think he's from Australia considering the fact that he has an insanely hot accent that makes just want to listen to every word he has to say.

Me: How? I barley even know him.

Lie.

I've only been paying attention to him for like oh I don't know, five freaking months! I've definitely paid attention to him all of last year. Not that I'd ever admit it to anyone but my best friend. Ever since I talked to him during the spring musical, I've definitely thought about him more times than often.

Morgan: I don't know. It' just seems like your personalities just go well together nicely.

Me: But like still. I don't think I've ever really talked to him and I doubt he really knows me either

Morgan: That's what's fun about it. Him learning all about you, and you would learn all about him. You guys might even make a better couple the #Melouise.

Me: I don't even know him that well. This is so weird lol. What even the point of this?

Morgan: I don't know. Just trying to make you happy

Me: Why Keith though? I still don't get that part. Like there's him and then there's me

Morgan: This is so hilarious. Trust me you guys will thank me for it later.

Me: But like he's way out of my league though. Actually, no the entire school is out of my league. Goodluck getting me with anyone. Not that I need someone anyway

Morgan: Self-criticism is not getting you a guy Lena

Me: Exactly. Which is why I don't need a guy

Morgan: Yes, you do. End of story Lena. Look I have to go now but think about it. I'll see if I can talk to Keith as well. You and him would be perfect for each other. I just know it.

Me: Morgan, don't you dare say a word to him.

Morgan: Lena, he's my best friend Of course, I'll be talking to him

Me: You know what I meant.

Morgan: Sure, I did Lena. Sure, I did. Look but I really got to go now. Bye. Talk to you later?

Me: We'll see.

I fell back in my bed at stared at the celling, lost in thought. Is there really a possibility that Keith and I could become something more than friends. To be honest, I don't even think I can say that we're friends though. Besides stuff like that only happens in fairytales. I'd be surprised if anyone in this school liked me as more than just a friend.

He seems like a nice person though. He's too good to ever date a girl like me. He needs someone that's more put together and better organized with her life. Not someone that's just a hot mess. He definitely deserves better.

Morgan is just setting himself up failure with this. Keith and I would never work out. Besides forget that, he probably doesn't even know who the frick I am. And even if he did, my actions would have probably repulsed him from even thinking of me like that.

Gosh what are you even thinking Lena. Just because Morgan is being an idiot and planning on talking to Keith, who granted probably has no fricking clue who are you, doesn't mean anything is even going to happen.

Like ever.

Go back to being your single self that makes fun of her friends in relationships and daydreams about the ones that won't ever be hers.
