Reasons Why Falling Inlove With Your Bestfriend Is A Bad Thing

Reason #14

Whenever I look at you, I pretend I'm a potato. That way, I would never question of why you didn't fall for me.

I went to the library, the only place I know that they would never look at for me. Katherine thinks I might be at some another football field because she knows how much I love just sitting or laying around with the cool breeze hitting my whole body. I bet Aurora was searching for me at the rooftops, which was the place where we usually see each other and awkwardly sit there in silence. Kyna wouldn't even bother finding me because she could just go at my house anytime. And Jade---? I dunno.

All I wanted was a silent school year. Instead, I got an ex back, a new best friend who happens to be a modern princess, a cheerleader who's hot and cold towards me, and a best friend who came back and confessed her feelings for me.

"Uhm... does anyone want a pizza?" I tried to lighten the mood.

Talk about awkward.

I could feel the thick atmosphere and tension around us. Everyone was looking at Kyna and she didn't say anything but sip on her coffee. Kyna is currently beside me along with Jade, who took my hand and intertwined it with hers. Kyna looked at our hands while having this smug smile plastered on her face.

"No. You shouldn't have one either. It's too oily, a lot of calories, mountain of cholesterol, and a slice of heart attack." Aurora stated then she passed me her salad. Ew, salad.

"Who the hell picks salad over pizza?" I scrunched my face.

I saw how Katherine shifted uncomfortably in her seat, trying not to make any eye contact with Kyna. I saw the glares that Kyna gave to Katherine earlier this morning.

The moment Kyna saw her at the hallway, she looked dangerous and menacing. It's as if she was a predator and Katherine was her prey. Katherine saw her and I'm pretty sure she shivered. Who wouldn't? Kyna is probably more dangerous than my parents.

Kyna smirked at Aurora and playfully stated, "At this rate, you could never date Rory, Queen B."

Date me? What the fuck are they on about?

Aurora looked pissed either way and squinted her eyes intensely to Kyna's. She said, "You've been annoying the shit out of me for the past hour. Who the fuck do you think you are?"

Kyna crossed her arm and smirked, "Well then, I'll introduce myself to everyone on this table. Kyna Wayers-- A bisexual, Rory's best friend since Junior High, and her potential lover. I came back to court her and I'm sure no one is opposed to that. After all... nobody on this table likes her, right?"

Three women looked at her, glaring and clenching their fists. I have no idea what they are doing but they're fighting and I hate trouble. All of them had gotten silent but still looked at her with the intent to kill. That's scary shit, man.

"And this, ladies, is why I will win."

And since I was suffocated, I ran away like the coward I am and now I'm inside the library, searching dog videos eating celery.

I sighed while scrolling down until I could find some fossils. Everything is just so damn complicated and sometimes it gets boring. Until.. I saw an old video posted a year ago about... my fight with Caleb.

"Rory! Stop moving!" Katherine scolded as she placed some ice on my face. I couldn't help but smile at her gesture.

Katherine has been.. distant.. for a few days. So seeing her so worried about me is a nice-- great change in my perspective. I looked away and couldn't help but grin.

She pushed the ice pack to my face and stood up. I frowned, thinking that she's leaving again.

But she didn't.

She took a candy from her bag and gave it to me. "What's this for?"

"That means you're still a kid."

"Excuse me? I fought for you." I complained. Honestly, I really think that she doesn't appreciate the things that I do for her. It makes me sad inside.

"And now I'm taking care of you." I looked down, feeling dismayed by her reaction. I really thought that if I fought for her then she would look at me in a better light but unfortunately, she treats me like a dork who can't even put an ice on a bruise right.

"I-I'm sorry.."

"..........but thank you because you took care of me." She blushed and walked away.

My hand was gripping the mouse harshly, remembering times that I hated. I.. feel like crying. I just want to lay down and cry like a baby.

So I did.

Everything that I had done for her, everything that we had done together, every memory that we shared, only to find out that it was just a huge big lie and mistake.

"I had a feeling you'd be here." Someone familiar spoke.

I immediately jumped out from my trance and of course, saw an angel again.

"Jade-- what are you doing here?" I asked. She pulled a chair and sat near me. She smiled at me and winked.

"You're a nerd. Where else are you supposed to go?" She joked. I giggled and slapped her arm softly.

I stood up and went to look for some books instead of watching videos that are bad for me and my mental health. Jade followed me and we ended up in a secluded area with novels and romance surrounding us.

I felt so excited that I ran to my favorite books and accidentally bumped Jade. Jade was wearing heels so I had to catch her before she hurt herself. I managed to catch her but since I'm weak as fuck, we fell on the floor.

I landed on my back and she fell on top of me, which is good because that means she's not harmed. The thing is though...

M-My leg..

Is between.. uhm..

Her legs.

And I could feel her breathing on my neck, where her face stayed for a few seconds.

She finally pushed herself from the ground but her body was still on me and to my surprise, she was also stunned to have my face so near her.

I have no idea but at that moment, I couldn't feel my arms and legs, as if I really don't want to move. That's what happened to her as well, she didn't move and now I'm curious if the same thing happened to her.

We looked at each other for a few minutes as I heard someone yell,

"30 minutes before I close the library!"
