James

————

James walked into school full of purpose and nerves as well with 2 weeks left to leave not just middle school but moving to Texas, and with that the mission of confessing to his best friend Eli.

He found her sitting by the Fountain along side a few of our mutual friends each of them greeted James with the usual ho homie or hi, then got to Eli and she gave him her notes for history. She and James talked about a video games that was hot news and memes and before they Knew it they were all alone with 15 minutes before home class started James found his courage wane as he didn’t know how to say it.

She stopped talking after 5 minutes saying she needed to go it was only this when James decided to just do it “Eli I think you are awesome girl and I just want to tell you I like you”.

He had just say it like that, his embarrassment grew very much that he just waved goodbye and quickly walked to his homeroom classroom without seeing her reaction.

Eli

———

Eli had came to school early again today to give her best friend James history notes for the end-of-the-year test. When she set down at the fountain her other friends walk to her and talked about the test and TV. However when the subject of boys came about one friend name Hannah had said that she and James look very cozy together and how it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them hooked up.

Eli had playfully shut down any ideas about that but the others decide to plan to leave Eli and James alone when there was a good chance. She again tried to shut that conversation down until James showed up, strangely Ellie froze and while everyone else greeted him she quickly found his notes and gave it to him then found a topic they shared together. As they talked about the gaming news and such things like memes, she had largely forgot about the time as it was an interesting subject.

She then found him silent as he looked around which caused her to look around there was nobody around she thought “really guys you do this to me now”. It was about 10 minutes until class started so she had said goodbye but before she could leave he had blurted something out the things he said that made her heart skip a beat but also something that made her very sad.

As she watched him leave she had walked to her own home classroom wondering how to tell him that she did like him but that she was moving away not just to another school but to a different state. That she wanted to keep the friendship going because it would be so sad to break up, she knew today she was going to be thinking about a lot of things.
