Not My Boyfriend
Worst boyfriend ever, that's what I had said about Ned. But it wasn't true. In fact it was one of the falsest statements I had ever uttered.
He wasn't a bad boyfriend. He just had different priorities, and I shouldn't have dared to push him like I did.
It was obvious Jennifer was in love with him, and vice versa.
After all the two had been voted Cutest Couple when they weren't even dating. Jennifer is my best friend, but I guess I just liked being that adored, and before I moved... Ned had been the perfect lover. Ready to wait on my hand and foot for a token of my affection.
Of course, I was pretty taken by him as well.
That seems shallow as I find words to describe it, but truth is, everyone searches for that one person who will become infatuated with them, and them with their lover. That was how it worked for Jennifer and Ned. Both of them completely head over heels for each other.
No, I, Suzie Crabgrass, do admit Ned and I hadn't ever had love, with had had lust I guess you could say. Or a friendship with certain benefits. Of course, at the time it had seen like love to me, but now I know it wasn't, now that I see Ned and Moze.
They are the incredibly cute couple, the kind when if it was anyone else, it would be sickly disgusting the kind of lovers that hang all over each other, kiss in the hallway, jog together in gym class.
That was Jennifer and Ned, how annoying it could get, seeing them constantly happy, constantly together... sometimes I wondered if I would ever have that.
I closed my locker door, and looked down the hall. There they were, the two of them, holding hands. Ned was saying some lame joke that would have sent me into fits of giggles, the kind of loving laughter that can only sound right when with the one.
Ned and Moze would be together, forever. It was only a matter of time before the wedding bells rang. Or the engagement ring is purchased.
"Suzie, what's going on?" Ned grinned at me. I smiled up at the two of them.
"Nothing much, you?" I said, politely.
"Same," Ned nodded.
"Suzie, we have Geometry Honors next right?" Moze interrupted, trying to her schedule in her pile of books.
"Yeah,"
"Last day, you guys should be excited no more crazy equations all summer." Ned grinned at Moze. I remember him smiling at me like that. But something was different, something had changed about him. It was in his eyes, a emotion that was so rare. It was true love, and I realized it the minute I saw it. Why?
Because that was the look he had never given me.
"Well, I'll see you later Jennifer, after homeroom." I turned away, and walked to the end of the hall.
"Come on Moze, I'll walk you to Homeroom," Ned said to her.
"Thanks,"I turned to see her kiss Ned on the cheek.
Ned was a great boyfriend, he just wasn't my great boyfriend. He was hers. And you know what? I would get over it because no matter what it seemed I am trying to say, I love seeing Jennifer and Ned so... so happy.
