"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" I almost yelled as the hot tears rolled down my cheeks. He just stood there, in front of me, staring at me. "Stop looking at me and..." Before I could say anything further, his hands held my face and in another second his lips were on mine. I stood there paralyzed, eyes wide open. This was not supposed to happen, we were just best friends. You're proving them right. Hey! My name is Paige and I'm almost 18. I love sarcasm and being invisible. But my best friend is pretty serious at getting me a boyfriend. Let's just hope I don't end up getting a bad boy as my best friend or maybe flirt friend. Sneak in to know more.
