Dear Diary, I just ran into my best friend, I know, I know how's that weird? Well because I literally ran into him playing chicken. Worst. Idea. Ever. In case you didn't know, chicken is a game where two people run into each other at full speed and the first one to move loses. He broke his leg and now I'm in the infirmary with a split arm and I honestly don't appreciate the weird Apollo kids breathing up my good air, but I'm stuck here with him. Not that I don't enjoy it. I have been in love with Conner Stoll ever since I found out he still has some action figures under his pillow in his cabin. I know, I know this is so cliché. A girl in love with her best friend, after all these years, not wanting to mess up the friendship, and the guy has the same feelings, but his is different because that's where my logic went all wrong.
I did my research watching movies from the 90's and making note of the fact that most best friend/ couples fought before the end up together, but because I couldn't fight with Conner to save or end my life, I'll just skip to the passionate confession of emotions. So, when the Apollo kids leave I waddle over to Conner, put on the nerdy glasses every girl in the movies wore, and told him the truth: I'd been head over heels in love with him since the 'incident" –as we called it-.
He looked at me, at first confused then his face turned totally red, and he looks me in the eyes weak, and I think "Here comes the kiss! OMG!" he leans in and says "I don't… don't…" then falls back asleep. "AAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
Really Aphrodite? Would one more second have killed you? One more? Gods. Now I have to wait until he wakes up. He doesn't what? Maybe he doesn't understand why I didn't tell him before. I did research on that and it's always that I didn't want to mess up the friendship. Then he'll say "I know… I've felt the same way and we kiss and walk away laughing." Oop. Gotta go, I'll write later, I've got archery practice.
