I really want to tell her. In fact, I need to tell her. She's my best friend and her not knowing about my so called love life just seems unfair.
I'll tell her today. I'm sure she'll be just a bit shocked because I've been snogging Felix but hopefully it goes well..

"Hey Morgs." I say while sitting down. "Oh, hey." She says with a mouth full of toast. "What's that?" I snort, looking down at the book.
"Oh, just some old book my mum sent me." "Really?" "Since when do we get post?" I ask, taking a sip of my coffee. "Few days ago, actually." She says.

"I'm gonna tell her." I smile, looking out to the courtyard. Felix and I walk next each other around the school grounds. Like always, his hands are in his pockets and I hold onto my leather school bag.
"I'm glad." He smirks. "I'll see you later love." He kisses my cheek before walking away. I smile, looking back at him.

"Hey." "Hey Morgs." "You know the answer to this?" She asks, showing me the homework. "Oh yeah, 1.4 over 5 I think." "Oh thank god." She sighs, jotting the answer down.
"So.." "Morgs, I was wondering if.. I told about someone I've been.. well seeing." "Would you be mad?"
"Your seeing someone." She smirks. I nod slowly. There's a pause. Oh my god. Why did I even mention it.
"Oh my god Drey." "I'm so proud!" She squeals, jumping up to hug me. "You know I hate that nickname." I laugh. "Yeah well I thought I would use it for this." She chuckles.
"Who is he?" I pause. "Well, I was meaning to tell you that." I roll my eyes playfully. She nods excitedly.
For some reason I don't have the courage to tell her. It's like my brain is stuck. "Well?" She says. "Go on then." She smiles.
"Felix." "Felix Blackwood." I say slowly.
Her faces suddenly drops. "Shit." I think. "Really?" I grip my bag slightly. "I- I know it isn't really the smartest choice.. but he's different around me." "He doesn't give snarky comments and annoying gestures." "He's so fun to be around." I explain finally.
"Yes, yes I know Drey." "I mean everyone finds him hilarious and charming." "But it's not that I have a problem with him at all." "It's just..."
"He has a girlfriend."
