Define 'Friend Zone'; a platonic relationship where one person (usually a man) wants to enter a sexual or romantic relationship, while the other does not.
Now most would not have a problem with this definition, me on the otherhand have a huge problem with wikipedia's definition. The definition implies that only a man can be friendzoned, however as a girl I have entered the friendzone many a time. One example in particular, my friendship with Nick.
I guess you could say our friendship is somewhat complicated- we met at our school's play auditions.
the distilled air was penetrated with the jeering or the drama kids. Crowed's were formed, circles as both girls and boys giggled in nervous anticipation for their audition. The gaggle of teenagers created an inexplicable ocean of hormones an angst, one person however stood apart from the crowed. Head bowed, as his feet kicked against the pebbles on the concrete. Miley's eyes darted over, breaking her focus from the conversation between her bestfriend Oliver, she saw him standing isolated. Nick; football captain, a 'jock'- the drama geeks being his polar opposite of social status. Miley was not unfamiliar to the jocks, she herself was a popular- although her and Nick had never really associated, he was kind of a lost soul in the football crowed, not a jerk but too concerned with other matters to really give a shit. Confused thoughts engulfed every part of Miley's mind, 'why is here?' Being her main concern. Impulse. Impulse was the cause of Miley's next action, next thing's next she was faced with the boy himself.
'Hey, I'm Miley!"
"Ah, Yeah I know- I'm Nick"
Ever since that first meeting- we had become bestfriends. Surprisingly we had both gotten main roles, and as a result spent most of our time together, we were just friends. Or so I thought, until I started getting feelings for him and that was where the problem began.
