Hey guys ! So I noticed i'ts been a while since I wrote a new story. So yeah , here you go :D

"What if..What if I told you I like someone." Nate bit his lip & looked up to his best friend sitting beside him looking off in the distance. He rubbed her leg trying to comfort her, but it seemed like she didn't hear him.

"Charmaine?" He looked at her one more time until she finally snapped out of her trance.

"Wh-What?"

"Uhm, well.. What if I told you I like someone?" He looked off into the distance seeing little, happy children playing on the playground.

Charmaine looked down & fiddled her fingers. "Uhm.. oh.." Charmaine moved away a bit from Nate thinking about this all & what he said. "Is she..pretty?"

"Well, yeah." He chuckled. "Why do you think I-" He saw the blank expression on her face. He cleared his throat. "Yeah. She's pretty, smart & down to earth."

Charmaine & Nate have been best friends since JK when Nate came up to her when Charmaine had nobody to play with. They've been there for each other through thick & thin. None of them actually had a girlfriend/boyfriend, but even though, they would still be there for each other; side by side.

"Do I know her?"

"Of course."

"Do I see her everyday?"

"EVERY SINGLE DAY."

Charmaine's heart started to race thinking that he was talking about her. She didn't know what to say next. They've been best friends for 16 years & this happens. She'll just have to just have to agree with whoever he likes & just keep going on with life.

Nate cleared his throat again & stood up. "Charmaine. I really like her & I just.." He looked down & started to play with his feet. His nike's got all dirty, but it didn't really matter at the point; though he's obsessed with shoes.

"I just don't know how to talk to her & tell her how I feel. Like, it will be awkward if she doesn't like me back. You know what I'm saying?"

She looked at him with no expression on her face. "Just..Just tell her how you feel. Be yourself. Thats really all I could say."

"You know what? That might be some good advice even though it's so plain." He laughed a bit & Charmaine hit his arm.

He put his arm on his land pretending it hurt. "Ow! Now, don't start violence." He smirked & walked away leaving Charmaine on the bench.

She looked up to see Nate walking away. She tied her long, dark brown hair & fixed her side bangs. She fixed her shirt & ran after Nate.

"Wait up!" She caught up to him & jumped on his back. He held onto her legs & ran as fast as he could.

"Nate! Stop! Your going too fast!" She shouted

"Not unless you get off & never do that again."

"Fine."

He stopped running & let Charmaine down. She fixed her shirt & jogged after Nate who was walking away.

Nate had kind of short, kind of long dark brown hair & is a little bit taller than Charmaine. He wore a white v neck with black skinny's & black nikes. Charmaine wore blue skinny's with black converse & a yellow American Eagle shirt. They are pretty short though. So you might think they are still freshmen's or something.

They both walk down the pathway of the park side by side.

"You know." Nate sighed. "You are the only girl I've ever been so close to."

She looked up at him & smiled. "Me too."

He looked at her in a confused look. "I'm the only girl you've ever been so closed to?"

Charmaine hit him on his arm again.

He chuckled & kept on walking.

"You're gay you know that?" Charmaine called out.

"Thanks a bunch Cherry."

She took out her confused look & ran after him.
