Anaise had never known why she had started to fall for someone so different from herself.
May be it stemmed from his friendliness and kind heart, or that he saw her worst and still stuck around.
Peter Kirkland was the half that made her whole, no matter how cheesy that sounds.
He was the light of her life that made her smile and laugh.
Anaise had always enjoyed his company and had fun with him which might have been the cause of her new feelings.
It wasn't unusual for someone to fall for their best friend nor was it strange for someone to admire another one's differences.
Anaise loved the other, and longed for their friendship to be so much more.
The problem was with how to tell him, so that he'd understand.
There was also the worry and fear that he didn't feel that way about her.
She wondered how to word it when the time came for her to confess.
The girl from Wy paced around the small field as she waited for her friend to arrive.
She was tearing apart her insides with many questions, frustrations, and insecurities.
There was also the question of whether he'd understand.
Peter Kirkland shown up right about then, interrupting her thoughts and sending the young teen girl's heart in to overdrive.
"Peter, I-" She broke off as the words seemed to fail her.
"You what?" Peter looked at her a little bit confused.
"I love you." It came out of the girl's mouth in a faint mumble.
Peter stared for a second before he wrapped his arms around her, "Me too."
Anaise kissed him then as she felt overwhelmed with emotion and joy like nothing she'd ever felt before.
