This story takes place in a college setting. Michael and Sara are dating and loved every minute they have together. Michael also has a good friend in a girl named Holly, whom he has known since he was five years old.

Best Friends Forever?

Michael Scofield sat studying in his dorm room. It was the beginning of his senior year of college and he was nervous and excited about the whole year. There was a knock on his door and Michael got up to see Holly standing outside his door. Michael shook his head, but smiled. When he opened the door Holly stood there looking as beautiful as ever.

" Holly, what are you doing here? Better yet, how did you get in here? These are the upper-class dorms."

" You going to run it by me again on how you're three years older then me Michael? To answer your question, I told people I was coming to see my brother."

Michael smiled at the fact. Holly Larson grew up down the street from him and it was in him to make sure that nobody hurt her. Holly did grow up with an older brother, but he wasn't around much to care about Holly.

" May I come in or not?"

" I'm studying Holly. I know it's only the beginning of the year, but you know me."

Holly nodded her head.

" You're the smartest guy I know Michael. I didn't mean to bother you. Are you still coming over for dinner Saturday night?"

Michael looked at her, he had plans with Sara Saturday night.

" I didn't know we had plans."

" I asked you last week and you said you would think about it."

A few of Michael's dorm buddies walked by.

" Who's the kid Scofield?"

" She's not a kid."

The guys walked on.

" Look Holly, I must've forgotten. I have plans with Sara on Saturday. I'm sorry."

Michael knew Holly was heartbroken.

" Okay Michael. I understand. Maybe some other time. My parents love you, they always have."

" Don't I know it. I watch over their little girl. That's what you father says anyway. Holly, I will make it up to you."

Michael then saw Sara coming up.

" You expecting Sara now too?"

" Holly, don't start."

Sara smiled as she came up.

" Hey Michael. Hi Holly."

" Hi Sara. I'll see you around Michael."

Holly walked on. Sara went into the room and Michael shut the door.

" She's sweet on you Michael. Does Holly have a crush on you? I don't think I've noticed it before. We would hang out together, but I thought nothing of it."

" Sara, I've known Holly since I was five years old. She was two at the time, but.."

Sara smiled. Michael smiled too. He met Sara Tancredi two years ago and they've been dating ever since. Holly knew that and Michael figured she had a hard time realizing that.

" Michael, don't worry about it. You can be friends with whoever you want. In fact, I like it how you look out for her. You did mention it to me about her first day of high school."

" People picked on her and called her names because of her height. Holly was small for her age, but she has grown up in the last several years."

" You care about her."

" Holly is one of my best friends. We made a pact that we would be best friends for life. If she needs me I won't turn my back on her."

Sara sat down.

" So where do you want to start on the studying?"

Michael took the book from Sara's hands and tossed it on the floor.

" Michael."

Michael ended up kissing her and Sara took it in. They did get some studying down after a long make out session.

" Sara, I love you."

" I love you too."

Michael smiled and pulled Sara into a hug. This was going to be on of the best year of his life, he felt it and was hoping Sara felt it too.
