I know, I'm a liar but I got some changes below. I thought that this will hold yall off me (Hopefully.)

Knock Knock

A young man knocked on a wooden door as he fixed his brown cap to look more presentable for his host. He had plans to visit his best friend's apartment for the day since the weather was a bit too harsh for them to play outside. He was a bit excited to visit her place as he rarely spends time in this part of Boston. Her part of town was more clean and safe than his was.

'I hope she answers, I had to run through this frickin weather to get here.'

He heard the door slowly creaked and a familar face peaked out to greet him. He could recognize that familar set of brown air that would go all over the places along with the soft chesnut-colored eyes.

"Jeremy! It's good to see you!" She said in her usual joyful manner.

"Sup Lena. It's good to see ya too." He said with a soft smile. Seeing his smile always made her day better..

These two have a bond that continues to grow and flourish for five years now, a small accomplishment but one nonetheless.

"Come on in silly before you catch something." She said as she opened the door even further to allow him inside. He took the invitation as he started to walk in.

As he crossed the border inside the apartment, he felt his back stiffen. As if some wave of tension crashed right at his backside.

'Man...What's wrong with my back? Probably cuz of coach and his new drills.'

The feeling passed as he was met with a view that was nonthing short of incredible, he marveled at how organized and clean everything was inside of her apartment. The interior placing was sublime along with the many small airplanes that decorated the inside.

"Something caught your eye love?" She asked. Jeremy quickly turned towards the voice and found a face that wasn't too far from his own.

He could see her all of her features in clear detail. Some of her features he has never noticed before. He never really took the time to actually look at her.

'I never saw those freckles before.'

"Hey...you still in there?"

He came back to reality and finally answered her question.

"Oh naw... It's just that I don't see apartments like this every day. Everything looks so...neat and fancy. Just know its waaaay diffrent at my house." He said.

"Thank you! Me and my parents try our best to keep everything presentable just in case we have guest arrive." She said with glee.

"No problem... Wait, what's a compliment?"

She giggled as she went to take his jacket off. He flinched a bit at the sudden contact which caught her attention.

"Are you alright? You seem a bit a jittery."

'Crap that scared me! Gotta play it cool Jeremy.'

"I'm still a bit cold is all. I'm straight tho." He said with false confidence. He didn't know what was wrong but he refused to show any signs of weakness...especially to her. He was a bit more compised as she went for his jacket again.

"Alright then. Now, off with your shoes!" She said in a royal manner.

"What for?"

"So you don't leave yucky stuff on the ground when you walk. You can keep your socks on if you like."

Jeremy begrudgingly took his shoes off at the command of his host. It's only right that he follows the rules of this house since he was invited in. He laid them next to the door on Lena's command.

"Sure is chilly out there. I felt it as soon as I opened the door for you." She said.

"No kiddin. Also, thanks for inviting me into your house since it's freezing outside. I woulda been bored as heck if you didn't offer." He said. He would of probably found something to do but her offer was convenient at the time, besides it's nice to know that she feels comfortable with him being in her house.

"No promblem buddy! Wouldn't want you to get a cold and miss school tomorrow."

"Don't remind me... So, what do we have planned for today?" He asked.

The two young adolescents have known each other for five years but this was the first time that one visited the house of the other. Lena was in deep thought over what they could do for today, their options were limited due to the setting.

"I'll figure that out later, but for now, why don't I show you my room?" She offered.

"Y-Your room?" He said with a bit of nervousness. He never thought he would be able to see her room on the first visit but something about being in her room just made him extremely anxious. He stood there in deep thought, contemplating his answer. He could slowly feel that strange tension coming back to his body.

His thoughts were interrupted as he felt something poking at his face.

"Anybody in there?" Lena said playfully as Jeremy finally came back to reality. He gently pushed her finger away and answered.

"Oh, yea, let's go see your room." He said quickly as he started to walk forward. He was about to reach full speed until a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Shouldn't I lead the way?"

"Oh... right. My bad."

The young lady quickly took the lead with Jeremy who kept a bit of distance between them. They were half way to their destination but Lena had a change of plans as they stopped at the kitchen.

"Did you eat before you get here?"

"I would've if my bros didn't beat me to the icebox. It's fine though, I'm use to it." He said as his stomach began to growl.

"Sure you don't want anything? We have some snacks and stuff." She persisted.

"Naw, I'm good."

Growl!

"...You got any soda round here?"

A few minutes later

Lena opened the door to her room and quickly jumped in her bed as Jeremy slowly crossed the border into the foreign territory of her room.

It's almost what he expected.

The smell of flowers and fresh linen filled his nostrils as he gazed at how pristine and orderly her room was. There was an array of teal decorations and an abundance of little airplanes in a box.

'They must love planes ot sumthin.'

"Woah...everything is so...not messy. You guys don't mess around with your cleaning." He said as he inspected one of the mini airplanes.

"Thank you. I do my best to keep it like this just in case." She said as she sat up on her bed and looked around her room with him. Her gaze stopped on him which he noticed after a bit of time passed.

When she finally had his attention, she patted the spot on the bed right beside her.

"You want me to sit there?"

"Of course silly! Your my guest so I want you to be comfortable. I'm still thinking about what we can do so you should take a rest."

He felt himself flinch.

"I don't mind standing here." He said.

"You've been standing and walking ever since you got here. Don't you want to rest your legs?." She pouted.

"Thanks but I'm good Lena." He said.

"Alright." She pouted.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Jeremy didn't like to see her look like this. It was one thing to see her frown but pouting is not a good sign.

"Are you...enjoying yourself?"

He stood there in deep thought about his answer. He was certainly enjoying the minor aspects of eating snacks and gazing at a new interior setting but he couldn't enjoy it to the fullest because of-.

"I'm sorry."

He looked up to see tears in his friend's eyes. She briefly wipped her face as she continued in a sniffling fit. It seems that Jeremy's plan to stand his ground has backfired.

"You're n-not enjoying yourself and it's my fault."

"That's not true Lena." He argued. He started to gain alot of confidence back to the situation. He promised to never let a girl like her cry and he'll do whatever it takes to keep it.

"It is."

"Is not."

"It is Jeremy! You've been acting weird with me all day! Your usually energetic but..." She stopped her statement as she came to a a realization. Her eyes widened as she slowly stood out of her bed to face him. Jeremy wasn't liking the looks of this.

"You don't want to be best friends with me anymore?" She revealed

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"What? N-No! Why would you even think or say that?"

"You've been treating me like a stranger all day! It's as if you're scared of me or something! If you don't want to be friends with me anymore than just say so! I wouldn't want to waste your time and mine's if you didn't feel the same way!"

Jeremy has never seen her this upset before. All he could do was stand there and take all of the suppressed frustration she had. His actions today were mksy to blame so he'll accept the consequences.

"Well, if you don't want to be friends anymore...that's fine by me! You're free to leave now if you want or you can stay for a bit. I don't care anymore." She said as she turned her back towards him and stood there, wiping the tears and snot from her face.

She thought that out of all the people she has met after five years of living here, he would've been diffrent. All the times that they had only reinforced that thought as well.

The time they escaped those boys.

When they went to the store to get candy.

Even when she showed up to his baseball game.

But even after all of those times shared with each other, she saw that he was just like the others. She thought that inviting him to her house would've helped their relationship even more but it seems that it was just an evaluation of it instead.

And they fail-

Splash!

"Ekkkkkk!"

Lena was yanked right out of her thoughts as she felt a string of water splash on her backside. She quickly turned around to find the perpetrator smirking with a water gun.

"Did you just shoot me?!?!" She exclaimed as she patted her back and felt the moisture.

"Yeah, you had to cool down real quick so I helped you out." He said as he chuckled at his own pun. Lena wasn't as amused as her sadness turned into fury..

"I can't believe you- Wait...is that my water gun?" She said in disbelief.

"Yep, I decided to bring it along just in case I ran into somebody on the way here and I kinda wanted to use it so I figured I get a little payback. Still works pretty good too to say I had this bad boy for five years."

"You...You remembered when I gave that to you."

"Kinda hard to forget a girl that shot me... twice I might add. But man, you should've heard your squeal." He said as he started to chuckle again.

Lena should've been upset but she couldn't help but to be estatic in the moment. After all of these years, he still kept up with her water gun and even rememberedhow lpng they've known each other. It seems that he actually does care for her.

"So, we're still best friends? I see that ya ain't crying no more.." He said which was met with a giggle from Lena.

"...Almost." She said as a devious smirk crossed her face. Jeremy was both happy and frightened at the same time. He already knew what was going to happen...and he was gonna enjoy every second of it.

"You have violated the law of this kingdom and now you shall pay dearly! What say you peasant!"

Jeremy enjoyed moments like these. This moment right here helped define his character...and he had her to thank for it.

"Gonna have to catch me first!" He said as he sprinted outside of her room to the front door. Lena thought to go after him but she knew that he wouldn't get far... the call for an approaching blizzard should keep him over here for the whole night until school.

She'll have plenty of time to deal with her best friend.

She sighed in content as she peeked out of her doorway to find Jeremy who was basically trying to pull the front door open.

"What kind of friggin door is this?!?!"

He looked back and saw her which only caused him to panic even more as he basically started to slam on the door.

She raised both of her hands in a menacing manner and massaged her fingers as she inched ever close to the poor lad.

All that could be heard from the apartment was the sounds of a young man laughing his own his breath away.
