The Richardsons

"I think I fell for my best friend. Gosh, I just can't explain it. It all happened so fast. This is honestly the first time that this has ever happened to me. My heart feels like it's on fire, I can't concentrate, and every time I see him, I just feel so..... oh, I don't know. I think I'm probably in shock or going into cardiac arrest."

What is this feeling?

Yeah, I did the stereotypical "fall for my best friend". At least I think I did. It's the total opposite from Alexa. Chance asked her out on the spot. They were not friends beforehand. Mom and Dad disapprove of Chance and Alexa, but don't say it directly because 1. Alexa is stubborn and 2. Alexa is spoiled and does whatever she wants.

Mom and Dad were friends before becoming a couple. Although it was for about a year, they did not rush their relationship. What they said to me and Alexa was "the best relationships are the ones that start from friendships."

That's why Alexa and Chance are always lovely dovey, I never heard them talk about the nicest cars or gossip to each other when they're alone.

"Kat! Kat! Are you daydreaming again?"

Cassie's voice woke me up from a daydream as she and Adrian were staring at me.

"Did you stay up all night playing the sims again?" Cassie asked.

No, I thought. I was having crazy dreams about Adrian.

"Yeah, I was trying to do the cheesecake challenge on the sims 2 in one night. I didn't even get close to finishing." I lied.

The two of them laughed.

After we all went to class, I sat in my back seat and opened my spare notebook. Mom taught me that if you keep a spare notebook in your bag whenever you go to school, 1. It's a very productive way to spend your time and 2. It's like you are silently venting or telling somebody your deepest and darkest secrets. Mom used to always write her feelings down in poems, but I prefer drawing my feelings. If somebody finds my notebook, it would be less embarrassing for me.

I started to draw me, Adrian, and Cassie together. Like a little collage on paper. We're sitting in the library together, making fun of the cafeteria food at lunch, walking from school, playing video games at somebody's house, and more.

I played it safe with my drawings, because nobody would want to see a nude boy. Not even me. I can't draw THAT well.

There was one drawing that I did, it was a full face of Adrian. I'm no artist, but I felt as if it was the best drawing that I ever did of a face. Not like anyone would see it, I hope.

When I was finished with that class, I went to lunch and found Adrian and Cassie at our normal table. For some reason, both of them had to run errands around the school and they left for about 5 minutes.

I opened my notebook, but there was something missing.

The full face drawing of Adrian.

And I started to panic.

All I hope is that neither Cassie or Adrian finds that drawing.
