My Best Friend

I looked at my self in the mirror, slightly tilting my head to get a different angle. I tugged the cotton-pink sweater away from my body, criticised it ever so slightly. Maybe I should change it, I still have ample time before my student's council meeting. I turned to my closet and ran my hands across the different colours, patterns and materials. I took out a predominantly white tee with sunflowers scattered all across the front.I held it up against my body. My face scrunched up, I wasn't in a sunflower mood so, I decided to stick with the fuzzy pink sweater beside it made my complexion blossom.''Are you decent?'' Zack asked, sticking his head in my room.''What do you think?'' I asked him not taking my eyes from the mirror.''You look cute. I like it,'' he said and walked in my room flopping down on my bed.Good enough, I guess. I turned to him and, said I was ready. Zack was on the student council with me so, he gave me a ride to school on the

I stared at the screen not paying it much attention. Instead, my mind was focused on what had just happened, was I reading into this too much? Probably. Zack was a very loyal guy so it was probably just a friendly peck on the head. Yeah, that's what it was a friendly kiss on the head given to me by my best and only friend. My best friend,damn my life.I shook as Zack laughed at something Oscar said, as much as he would deny it this was his favourite movie. Every time he was sad I would put it on and make him some macaroni and cheese with bacon,his favourite dish. I remember the first time we watched Shark Tale actually. It was his fourth birthday and he was not feeling very well so his mother suggested watching a movie instead of a big party like they normally did. For me, that day was special because it was the first time we spent his birthday together, just us alone. He was always popular, which meant he usually had parties and was constantly surrounded by people and he ten

I stared at Lucas with tears that blurred my vision. I don't think I've ever been so relieved to see someone in my house before.''You should have told me you were buying I would have saved my money. In fact, I should be the one to buy since I came up with the idea or at least I think so. You know what it doesn't even matter I'll put it in the fridge and no you can't have it for breakfast tomorrow,'' Lucas rambled while I continued to stare and smile.''Okay, what's up with you? Why are you smiling so much and, will you stop staring? It's creeping me out.'' he mentioned as he looked at me weirdly after placing the food he bought in the fridge.I hugged him tightly. I guess I still had my reservations about him actually being there for me. I wasn't sure if this was going to be a one-off situation or if it was going to be forever. I wanted to ask, but I kept quiet. I was afraid that I would scare him into changing his mind. Would it scare him? , or would he tell m

My eyes looked between Lucas and Zack as they glared at each other from across the dining table. I swear I saw lightning flashing in the background, who knew I had such melodramatic people in my life.  ''Do you plan to keep making eyes at each other for the rest of breakfast or...'' I trailed off.  Both gasped and sputtered as if they just swallowed a huge gulp of saltwater.  ''Look I don't get why you both don't like each other, I mean you guys like me so, I don't see the problem,'' I said between bites of my 'crispy' pancake.   ''He abandoned you for ten years and then just waltz back in your life like it never happened. That's ridiculous,''  I'm sure it wasn't ten years, I was about to say that when I noticed Lucas' downtrodden look.  ''As if you haven't ditched me many many
