A/N: This was actually really fun to write, I've always wanted a story about them all in school. I'd love to read it so I thought I'd write my own. Reviews are most welcome as is praise and constructive criticism.

FOR THE REVIEWER'S!

I am not American, I am in fact English but my actual accent makes it easier to say Math, So I guess I wrote it instead because I don't say Maths because I also have a lisp so I'm used to writing it like that. You may notice that I spell in the American way as well because I pick up my American friend's spelling. =D

I am sorry that you found it hard to read with the narrative to be in italics, it's just how I write things originally because it makes things easier to read for me, so I will change the italics to normal, standard and straight-up writing from the next chapter onwards.

I am glad that you enjoy reading the story, I will be carrying on shortly, I do take a long time to update my stories because sometimes the ideas just go from me and it takes a while to think, I always do a later on chapter instead and because a lot of my time is spent doing GCSE coursework.

Yet again… thank you very much, and I hope that you review the next chapter and the ones after that. Xx

I'm walking down the street with a quiet Naomi, that's a once in a lifetime thing really, she's never usually this quiet. I steal a quick glance at her and notice that she's biting her lip and crying. I walked in front of her and stop her and pull her into a tight hug and at once, I feel her just let go, I feel the tears dropping from her eyes on to my blazer and I don't even care. She can cry as much as she wants, I'm not going to let go of her, she's my best friend, I can't and I never will. We stood there for about ten minutes until she stopped. She looked up at me and her make up was only a bit smudged but she still looked okay. She took a few deep breaths and smiled at me.

"Thanks" She muttered.

"It's okay. You're welcome I guess" I replied. I wonder what is wrong with her. It's weird seeing her upset, she was usually so headstrong and didn't care about anything in the world and now something has actually got to her and managed to confuse her, I only worry to as what it could be. Is it something deadly serious that could ruin the rest of her life? I guess I wouldn't find out for another twenty minutes which is how long it is going to take to get to her house. Damn our school being so far away from her house.

We walked in the heat for the rest of the twenty minutes. We got in and went to her room; we both took out blazers and bags off and dumped them on to the floor before collapsing on to her bed. I breathed heavily. We stayed silent for five minutes.

"Ems, I don't know how to tell you this because it's really hard and I'm really scared that you'll hate me." She started.

"I'm never going to hate you, I can't. You're my best friend." I replied.

"Yeah and that's the main problem with it all. I'm scared that you won't be okay with it all"

"I will. I promise" I said to her reassuringly. "Now please tell me, I'm worried" I continued. She took a deep breath.

"I like you, I really do, I have done for a while now and it's confused me so much and I can't handle it, I can't cope with it, it really hurts to see you everyday and feel like this but at the same time, I love seeing you and feeling like this, it's a feeling that I just can't explain and when you're not with me, or in a lesson with me then I feel empty and lonely so I get kicked out and moved into your lessons and I'm really sorry if you didn't want to hear any of this and I won't blame you if you want to hurt me or just walk out and never talk to me again." She said all in one breath and amazingly fast. I must admit, I was actually shocked.

"I don't hate you, I don't want to hurt you or run away, but it has shocked me. I need to time to really let that go around in my head so I will head home and I'll get my head around it and see about things but I swear that I will never leave you okay? I promise that I will ring you tonight, I don't know when but I promise that I will." I said before I held her in a tight hug. I noticed that she had burst in to tears again. I sighed.

What the hell am I going to do? I'm not gay.
