DING DONG. I wonder who that could be, Selena thought, shoving the rest of her granola bar into her mouth. She opened the door, and her eyes were blinded by the sun. Shielding her eyes, the first thing she saw was a mane of brown hair.
"Oh, hey Justin."
Justin's heart skipped a beat. He knew that they had been friends ever since he had moved to L.A., but he was starting to think that he didn't want to be just friends.
"You ready to go to school?" he asked, shaking off his thoughts.
Selena sighed. "Let's just get this over with," and grabbed her denim jacket.
Justin opened the car door for her, and she climbed into his Range Rover.
Once they got to school, it was the usual hustle and bustle of the never-ending crowd.
Justin walked Selena to her locker, just as usual, and she dumped her books in her locker. The routine hadn't changed for years and he liked it just the way it was.
Walking over to his locker, he saw the Jonas Brothers huddled around a locker. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nick glancing at Selena. Fire bubbled inside of him, as the green monster of jealousy climbed onto his back.
He knew Nick broke Selena's heart. He knew she loved him, his heart aching at that very thought. He couldn't stand the thought of anybody hurting Selena. He just couldn't.
He wondered if he ever would have a chance.
A chance to tell Selena everything she meant to him. He remembered their every embrace, when he held his whole world in his arms. It had always been like that, their friendship unbreakable.
But then one day, when she planted a goodbye kiss on his cheek, his stomach fluttered. He couldn't make sense of it. He had dated plenty of girls before, had felt something. But he had never fallen for a friend, his head couldn't seem to grasp the concept.
Snapping back to reality, he saw Nick avert his eyes from Selena, as they all headed their separate ways for class, but Justin's gut told him that it was going to be a very interesting day.
