     It was sudden and unexpected. Like being hit by a bus or being struck by lightning. It was the most shocking thing. All this time we have been best friends. I mean, I've never thought of him anything more than that. Until now. We are extremely close and so much alike. I'm almost surprised I didn't notice sooner. I like my best friend more than a friend.

      Immediately I start thinking things like 'What will my friends think?' Or more importantly, 'What would he think if he found out?'. I don't know what to do. Should I tell someone? This feeling is just, confusing. I truly have no idea what to do!

     So many people see Joe as the over confident, witty, nice guy. But to me he's just an amazing person. The thing is, will I be friend zoned? It's not like I'm going to approach him or anything. I'm not dating anybody until I'm 18 and neither is he. But at this point, will I only be thought of as his friend? I keep thinking I see him glancing at me. My friends think so too. But, could this just be my imagination? Could I be hoping that will happen? I don't know what to do. I have to tell somebody. My first instinct: call Casey. Casey is my best friend and she knows Joe too so I'm sure she can help me.

A/N:

Short chapter! I know! But the thing is, I feel like it's acceptable since it's a short story. You can be the judge of that. DON'T HATE ME PLEASE! Because I love you. In a non-creepy way. :)
