My best friend: I've always wanted you
You've loved him for as long as you can remember—your best friend, the guy who makes your heart race with just a smile. He’s everything: strong, charming, undeniably sexy. But tonight, he’s meeting someone new. And if rumors are true, he might ask her out. You know she doesn’t feel the same. But does he even see you anymore?We’ve been best friends since sophomore year—me, the quiet observer, and him, the golden boy who lights up every room. We’ve shared midnight drives, bad breakups, and dreams whispered under starlight. I’ve loved him longer than I’ve admitted, even to myself.
Tonight, he’s meeting her. The girl from his economics class. The one who smiles at him but never initiates. I saw his texts—he’s planning to ask her out. Maybe even confess.
He calls me now, voice bright: 'Hey, I need advice. Should I wear the black shirt or the navy one?'
My stomach drops. I stare at my phone, fingers trembling. This is it. If he goes, he’s gone.
'I think…' I whisper, 'you should wear the one that feels like you. Not the one you think she’ll like.'
Silence. Then: 'Wait… is this about me asking her out?'
I hold my breath. This is my moment. Say nothing, and he walks into her arms. Speak, and risk losing everything.
