A Little Smile

I guess it first started when we got into Jr. high, i didn't know what would become of it, I was a little afraid of it even... I didn't know what to do around him... What would you do around your best guy friend? I just tried to hide it around him, and everyone else to. There was but one person I could trust, my real best friend Maranda. Sure she thought I went crazy, the guy I have known all my life suddenly becoming something more with me- it could never happen. I tried to like other guys, but every where I looked it there just seemed to be something like him in it. When I would watch my favorate shows there would be little phrases that he would often say, I had to think of him then. When I saw the band play I had to think of him. When I thought of math- I would think how he would explain it to me, and suddenly it would make sence. When I would look at flash files I had to think of him, he is always raving about the funny ones to me- I have seen most of them with my cousins before, but the few I haven't seen that he talks about I am sure to see soon. When he would talk to me I would look at him, thinking about him and listening to him at the same time. He would just drive me crazy. I don't even know why all I can think about is him. Once he told me about a book he was reading- it sounded intresting to me, but had a wierd subjuect, he tried to get me to read it and he said that it was funny, but I could never face him after I would read it. I just stayed away from that book for my own good, it would make me think of him in a more... lets say mature way that I wasn't ready for at that time. Eventualy I did read the book, when I read it there was this one part- he had read it to me before I was just swooning by that timeThe other guys that I tried to like where just nothing like him. Sure, I had crushes on other guys before him, but they never lasted for more than a few months. I had liked him for a year when I realised what I had to do. First I just started giving him simple hints, that no one but him could notice. Sending him little e-mails that would seem a little gushey to most people, laughing at his cute jokes, sitting next to him whenever I had the chance, writing my name with little hearts when I corrected his papers, you know little flirty things. A little after I started that I knew he was keeping something from me, he wasn't being his 'normal' self around me anymore, he blushed every time we sat by eachother. He started to flirt back to me soon after that. I was in a daze, my love of my life just simply flirting with me made my day. One day out of the blue he asked me how I would feel if he got a girlfriend. He asked me this some time after we had enterd high school, and he was one of the only boy with out a girlfriend. I knew how he must have felt... left out, never a good feeling. So I said that it was fine with me, as long as it wasn't any popular snobs. The day after that he asked me on our first date. I was excited beyond reason, but I knew that it was true. We had a simple date with nothing much more than a dinner and a walk in the park, he was the one to give me my first kiss- that I consder a real kiss. After that we went on to have many more dates, and move on into marrage, but I can still rember a time when a little 'hi' in the hallway would make my heart flutter. Now all it takes is a little smile.

Author Notes: One-shot with bad grammer and spelling... I just had to write something gusshy to inspire me, I am lacking in insperation lately. If you want to insert any name of a best friend where it says maranda and you have a diffrent series all together! Hopefully my other stories will want to be finished after this.
