I don't know how it happened, it just did.

The day I realised that I was in love with my best friend was the day that I knew things would never be the same.

That day started like any other, I woke up, had breakfast, got ready for school, then bolted out the door the minute that Sian texted me and told me she was ready. Walking at a fast pace while trying not run, I rounded the corner to the bus stop and where I usually wait for Sian but today she had bet me there.

"Hey Babe,"

"…", I grin stupidly.

"What's the matter?"

"You're never here before me" I manage to stutter out, before my brain fries again from being around her.

She smiles, "thought I'd surprise you today"

I grin stupidly again and nod my head in agreement before sitting next to her on the bench to wait for the bus to school. As I'm sitting next to her I can't help but drink in her presence. She's beautiful, by the way, she has sunny blond hair that reaches to the bottom of her shoulder blades when it isn't tied up and she has the brightest blue eyes you have ever seen, you'd describe them as 'ice-blue' if you ever saw them. She also has the most beautiful face, I could look at it all day if she'd let me. Yep, that's her, my Sian….wait…my Sian? Hold on she's saying something.

"…so what do you think Soph?"

"wha…huh?, I mean, sorry?"

She giggles and it's like a bell chiming through me and making my extremities tingle.

"Stop being funny Soph, I was just saying that Ryan asked me out yesterday but I haven't said yes yet and you know how much I like him so I was just wondering what you thought?"

God help me, my brain is on the fritz again, "um…Ryan?"

Her forehead crinkles in confusion at my lack of coherency, "yeah, you know him Soph, the guy with the helmet hair".

My brain begins to function again, "oh, helmet hair guy"

She smiles again, "yeah him. So what do you think?"

"About what?"

"Sophie! About him asking me out!"

My brain clicks onto what she is saying

"Hold on, he asked you out?"
