"Nah, its just something is bugging me for the past few days" he puffed out.
"Wanna talk about it?" Me being me trying to read my best friend's face. Mike and I have been best of friends since birth. His parents practically know my parents and that is sort of how became friends. We used to fought a lot during pre-school till at the end of elementary. I guess at that time, our parents were grateful that they don't have to get us out of each other's face or send one of us to the hospital. Yeah, we were rascals at that point of time. Then, when we turn 10, I've kind of developed a crush on him. Probably because he saved a candy for me. After that, when we started off high school, it became real that I've fallen for him. Till now he doesn't know. And I intend to keep it that way.
Mike Shaw. He is not an athlete or a bad boy at school. He is just a normal student trying to graduate his high school. He is known as a cool-nerd at school. A lot of people like him, teachers, students, even the lunch lady. He is really a friendly guy and put lots of effort in his studies.
"I have to tell you something, " he suddenly interrupts my thinking. I put my laptop down since I knew this is going to be serious.
"What?"
"well, do you know Caitlyn? The girl from my chemistry class?" His face full of curiosity while waiting for me to reply.
I raised an eyebrow, confused with where this is going. "yeah, what about her?"
"okay, Mr Richard put her as my partner for the rest of the semester. So, if there is any experiment, or assignment, or whatever i have to do it with her" He explains. I simply nod.
"So after a few months knowing her, doing things with her, I..i.. think.. that.. i... " he stutters while fiddling with his fingers.
I already what's coming out of his mouth. "you think you've fallen for her?" damn, it stings me when i said that. I sighed, knowing that it's true.
I saw his face lits up when i said it. "yeah. And I think that she likes me too. You know she looks at me differently, and her smile. Gosh, her smile. I would do anything to keep that smile on her face. She looks at me the way you usually look, only that you're my best friend, and she is my crush.."
Oh, how I wish we could be more than that. But he made it clear that I'm only his best friend. Nothing more. I knew I shouldn't get my hopes too high. He's handsome, smart, cool and I'm ugly, weird and well, just plain. Of course he would like someone like Caitlyn. She's smart, gorgeous, blonde, a Science student. And what am i? Just a normal girl who likes art and music. Nothing special.
"so do you think I should ask her out?" my rain of thoughts were interrupted by his question.
Like the best friend i should be, i said "yeah, go for it"
He grins widely at me and started to pack up his things. "okay, i'm gonna ask her out tomorrow. I have to get home, mom just texted me. Said that i need to my ass home instantly"
I laughed at his comment, Mike's mom will always have the best humour. He got up and kissed my forehead "good bye my best friend" and with that he left.

BRIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god the bell rang. I don't think so I could much of the crap I'm learning in Maths. I scurried off to my locker while trying my best to pass through the halls filled with students who are eager to go home.
I got to my locker and started to drop off my unwanted books off and take my jacket as it is a little chilly today. I closed my locker and gasped loudly to find Mike was standing behind it.
"OH MY GOSH! DON'T DO THAT! YOU JUST SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! ASSHOLE!" i screamed at him.
He laughed at my comment. " you should've seen the look on your face" holding his stomach. "priceless!"
" are you done laughing now?" i answered while crossing my arms.
"okay I'm done now. Phew!" he metaphoricly wiped his forehead.
"so what's going on?" i asked him while walking outside.
"um...i asked Caitlyn out and..." he scratched his neck, nervously replying my question. Even though it hurts me when he said it i simply eliminate that thought away.
"and?"
"She said yes!" he grinned sheepishly.
"well im happy for you my friend."
"thanks to you. okay i got to go. I promise her I'll pick her up later. Bye!" he waved at me while walking to his car.
I slowly think that I'm going to loose him one day.
~LATER THAT NIGHT~
"Sweetie, there is something that your dad and I want to talk about" my looked at me during dinner. I wiped my mouth with the napkin and my expression is full of curiosity.
"What is it, mom?"
"I will just go straight to the point. I got a huge job offer as a director in a leading company in New York" she replied.
"So?" I don't know what my mom is talking about.
"So, I've accepted it and I will start after your graduation. And then, your dad came home today saying that he asked his boss if he could be transferred to their New York branch and his boss agreed. Saying that your dad is needed there. So all of us will be moving to New York after you graduate." she claps her hand while smiling cheerfully.
"What?!"
