Sorry its a bit short. Here's chapter 6!
JJ sat at the bleachers downing her bottle of water. Soccer practice was awfully gruesome today. Their next game is in 3 weeks against Sheridan High. Their coach made them do drills and run laps till they can't feel their legs. "You ready to go home?" Will asked walking towards her. Days like this makes JJ grateful that Will has baseball practice at the same time she has soccer. Walking home after today kill her for real. "Yeah just give me 5 minutes to breathe and pick up my stuff then we're good to go." JJ replied. Will just nodded.
In middle school, JJ found her passion in soccer while Will decided to go for baseball. They both were great at the sports that they're playing. JJ is currently the star player in her team, playing the forward position while Will play the pitcher for his team. Both of them are well liked by the whole team and coaches, they're even in line to be the next team captain for their senior year.
In the car, "Hey JJ can you help me with somethin' tonight?" Will asked nervously. "owkayyy, what's up?" JJ asked curious. Will usually doesn't look this nervous, for anything. "Well… I kinda have a date tomorrow night so I need you to help me pick something nice to wear." JJ stared at Will in disbelief. "You have a date?! Wow who's the unlucky girl?" JJ teased. "Ha ha ha funny. It's Lucy from World History class. C'mon will you help me or not?" "Of course I'll help you Billy. Don't want you to get dumped on the first date now do we?" JJ laughed.
Later that night, JJ asked her mom permission to go to Will's house after dinner. Sandy didn't even ask what for, she just nodded her approval. She knows she could trust the two of them, and they wouldn't dare to do anything that will break that trust.
When JJ arrived at the Lamontagne's, Grace opened the door and hugged JJ before JJ went up to Will's room. JJ knocked, "I'm coming in. You better not be doing anything in there that would scar me for life!" JJ warned. Will just rolled his eyes. "What? You think I'd jack off with my parents right down the hallway and with my door unlocked?" "Eww I did not want to have that image in my head." JJ threw the nearest pillow she could reach right at his face. Will just grinned.
"Okay let's see what you got in here," JJ said walking to his wardrobe. She opened it and gave it a brief look before picking some options for Will to try on. "Here try some of these on" JJ handed the clothes to Will. Will took it and immediately took off the shirt that he was wearing before trying on the ones that JJ gave him.
JJ didn't know what was happening. Her heart just skipped a beat seeing Will topless. What was that, JJ thought. What is this that she's feeling? It's not like she never saw him topless before. What is it that is so different this time? JJ decided to ignore the weird feelings she's having at the moment and just focused on helping her friend.
"So how do I look?" Will asked. JJ looked at him for a few seconds. Wow he's kinda hot, wait what? Why was she having these kind of thoughts? JJ shook her head trying to make these new feelings go away. Will saw the look that JJ has on her face and can't figure out what she was thinking. "Hello? Earth to JJ?" JJ snapped out of her thoughts and look at him, "Yeah what huh? Oh yeah hmph you look okay I guess for a dork." JJ said trying to cover up her own feelings. Will looked at himself in the mirror before asking, "You think so?" ignoring the fact that his best friend just called him a dork.
"Yeah I do. So I guess my work here is done? I'll head home now then." "Hey wait up. What's the hurry?" Will asked. It's not that late yet and even if it is, it's not like they haven't spent the night at each other's houses. "Yeah well I have an early morning tomorrow. I promised my mom I'm gonna help her in the diner." JJ came up with an excuse. She did promise her mom to help, but she didn't need to go back so quickly. But she just had to leave his room. "Oh, well okay then let me get change and I'll drop you off." "Oh it's alright I can walk. It's only a block away." JJ said, trying to avoid being in a small space with Will before she figures out what were those feelings she felt before. "Don't be silly JJ, both our moms would kill me if I let you walk alone at this time of night. Now c'mon." JJ sighed before agreeing.
After will dropped her off, JJ went straight to her room. She lied on her bed staring at the ceiling, thinking. Does she have feelings for her best friend? I mean I had a crush on him when we were in middle school but then I got over it… didn't I? I couldn't like him like him now could I? JJ's head was spinning thinking of all this. He's going on a date tomorrow for God sakes. Now is like the worst time ever to start having these feelings. No, no I have to get my act together. I don't want to ruin the friendship that we've built for the past 11 years.
