I stood there looking at the ground for what seemed like forever. I can't believe that I just poured my heart out about how I feel about Selena, to Selena. And she doesn't even know that I'm talking about her. Even if she did know, she didn't let on that she likes me back. But really, who would? I don't think that I'm the best looking guy out there. I mean, look at the people in the public eye such as Zac Efron or that guy from Twilight. I'm nowhere near them. Selena wouldn't like me. She COULDN'T like me.

"why so glum chum?" she asked.

"no, nothing. I just feel so stupid for liking this girl. There's no way that she would like me back."

"Nicholas Jerry. Look at me." She pulled my chin up, and looked right into my eyes. "you are the sweetest, most caring guy I know. Any girl would be out of their mind not to like you. and not gonna lie, you're pretty cute" she playfully punched my arm. I managed to smile a bit, this is one of the reasons I've fallen in love with this girl. She's just so amazing.

"thanks, Sel. But I just dunno.."

"you should ask her out. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

You don't like me back and I ruin our friendship for good? I thought to myself. "I get rejected?"

"nah, she'd have to be stupid to reject you." she looked off into the distance. I could tell that she was thinking about something. I wish I could know what she was thinking about. "so, is Joe gonna ask Demi out?" she asked me. "Dem was really hoping that he would today."

"oh yeah. He wanted us to leave so that he could. She wanted him to? Really? He was so nervous this morning. He's been crushing on her for like ever."

"Awe, that's so cute. Demi's liked him for a while. I think best friends becoming a couple is really cute. Except us." she laughed nervously.

I laughed too. "yeah, that would be a little weird." I glanced ahead. "oh Selena. We're next on the ride."

We got on the ride, and headed in. Selena was beast at this game. I couldn't get my laser to hit any targets, but she was getting them all. How was she even able to do that? I guess it's the hours she spends playing video games at my house, while I play around on my guitar. Whichever way, she was still pwning my ass.

"where'd you learn to shoot like that?" I asked once off of the ride.

"I dunno, I just have skill. Unlike some people I know" she winked.

"oh shut up, I can beat you at some things… like song writing. I'll bet you can't write a song as well as I can"

"you'd be surprised at the things I can do, Nicholas." Her phone beeped "oh, that's Demi. She said her mom needs her over soon. Can you drive us back?"

"yeah, sure no problem." We started walking back in the direction of the exit. I thought to myself how lucky Joe is that the girl he likes feels the same way. Why couldn't it be that easy for me? Maybe I just have to step my game up if I want her to start sharing those feelings.

"Hey, wanna come over for dinner later? You and demi?" I asked Selena. I tried not to sound too hopeful.

"I actually have work tonight. What about tomorrow? Is that okay?"

"yeah, that should be fine. I'll just have to make sure with Joe. But it should be fine." SCORE. She's coming over tomorrow!

We spotted Joe and Demi up ahead, and Selena ran to go talk to Demi. They walked a fair bit in front of us, walking home. Joe fell into step beside me. We walked in silence for a while until I finally asked him what went down with Demi.

"well, we were in line for the ride," he started "and I was just like "dem, can I ask you something?' then I went on to tell her that I liked her a lot, and that I really wanted to chance to be her boyfriend, and I kept rambling on and she just kissed me. Like out of nowhere. And then she was like 'I thought you'd never ask.' So yeah."

"that's great bro! I'm happy for you."

"what about you and Selena. Any hope there?"

"Nope. And I doubt anything will happen" I replied sadly.

We got to the car and drove the girls to their house first, then continued on to our house. I told Joe about the girls coming over tomorrow, and he was all for it. I figured he would be, any time with Demi he'd like. Once we got home I ran to my room and took out my guitar. I had an itching to write a song since Selena and I were in line together. I started strumming on my guitar playing around with the chords. Humming along, I was thinking about how I described Selena and I thought that those could be pretty good lyrics. "Her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining; her hair falls perfectly without trying." I mumbled. "She's beautiful, and I'd tell her any day" I sighed, not too happy with the results. I scribbled them into my book, and fell asleep.

mkaay, so i'm not really happy with this chapter, but i guess that's okay.
