I was standing in the hall when Alli came up to me.

"Clare, I have something to tell you."

"What's up Alli?"
"Not too much just, um, do you remember Johnny?"
"Dimarco?"
"Yeah."
"What about him?"

"Well we're kind of dating again."

"What? Why, how?"
"Well he was talking to me and we just I don't know clicked."
"Oh well that's cool I guess."
"Clare please tell me you're not still afraid of him."
"I- I'm not."
"Clare he's like a teddy bear."
"A really scary teddy bear."
"I think if you just give him a chance you could really like him."
"I don't know Alli but for you I guess I could give it a try."

As far as I knew I could never see Johnny and I being friends he's just so scary but for Alli it was worth the shot. She always has been and always will be my best friend so I figured the least I could do was give Johnny a chance. And the next day at school I tried to do just that.
