My Brother's Best Friend

What Was I Thinking?

[Dylan's POV]

*2 days later*

     

       Dylan, please tell me what  x•3 is. Dylan? Dylan?  Dylan! Dylan, get up! I lifted my head and saw my teacher staring down at me, calling my name. I must have dosed off during math.

       "Sir, I only fell asleep because I was up all night last night thinking about a girl." I explained. I thought I had mumbled but obviously I hadn't because everybody had oohed.

       "Well you need to keep your home life seperate from your school life. Next time, just tell her how you feel or something, man." Mr. Thomas said to me while patting my shoulder.

    I drove up to Ty and Nikki's house. Aahh, Nikki. Such a perfect name for a perfect girl. I couldn't get her out of my mind since the first kiss we ever had. I just kept replaying that moment in my mind over and over again. Was there a time when she didn't  look perfect? Even when she was in baggy sweatpants, a tanktop and a messy bun with no makeup she looked like perfection. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Ty.

       "Sup, bro! How ya been?" Tyler stated with a huge smile.

     "Dude, you just saw me yesterday..." I replied, not saying anything about his ongoing enthusiasm. He shrugged his shoulders and we headed to the kitchen. I opened the pantry door and was surprised as to how much food was in there. Usually there was like, none. After looking at everything, I picked out a simple pack of Gushers. Those never get old.

       "Hey is uh, Niks here yet?" I asked cautiously.

       "Dude, you have her number! Text her she is your girlfriend after all." Tyler replied.

       "No she isn't! Not yet anyways."

       "Oh. I thought you wanted to be with her though."

       "I do, I really do. Trust me. But I don't know how to ask her."

       "Here, practice with me. Pretend I am Nikki, okay?"

        "Okay, here goes." I fiddled around with my fingernails before finally speaking up,  almost as if it were the real deal.

       "Hey, Nikki. I have something I wanted to ask you. I have been meaning to for a while now but I think now is the right time after all that has happened the past few days. Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend." I had closed my eyes and I immediately heard a response.

       "Dylan? You have had feelings for me all this time? I had no idea. Yes, I will be your girlfriend."

I opened my eyes very quickly, trying to comprehend what had just happened. If Tyler was laughing, then who had said that? I slowly turned around to see Nikki standing there, smiling. Oh no, I thought to myself. I can't believe she heard all of that. Before I knew what was happening, I was holding a small person and stumbling backwards with soft lips pressed against mine roughly. Nikki stopped kissing me and held my face in her hands while looking down at me.

       "Yes! Yes, Dylan O'Brien! I will be your girlfriend!" Nikki said, biting her lip.
