I Think I’m In Love With My Best Friend1

Chapter Three2

Allie sat at her computer, thinking about what she could do to past the time. Ash had already taken her Immortal Rain mangas and no one was on the computer. So she decided to text Emma. She should have something to contribute to her boredom. And she waited and waited for a reply, taking a few minutes before she even got an answer. She was probably talking to her BF.3

“why don’t you doodle about your dream world?” She had replied. That was a good idea. All her doodles of her and him together, kissing, or small papers with a mini story of her and Ash. They were all in her… Immortal Rain books. 4

“What? No, no, no, no.” She said frantically, searching about her room to make sure they weren’t anywhere else in her room. They couldn’t be in there. 5

She could just feel the panic rising and the knots twisting in her stomach. What if he read them? What would he do? How would he react? Will it make their friendship awkward? Allie sat down. How could she just be so stupid to not check the mangas before giving them to him? She was already starting to think about his reactions. 6

“What is wrong with this girl?”7

“She is a little to obsessed?”8

“Is this why she enjoys to hang with me so much?” 9

There were so many things she could hear in her head right it felt as if someone was actually tearing apart her skull. How stupid she was for actually doing that. He could be up in his room this very instant, reading through all the small papers and looking at al the mini doodles and drawings that were folded up in the books. Just thank the lords her big kissing poster she drew last year was in her closet hidden from the world in the frame of her Scream picture. It actually looked exactly like them both. She was like an artist last year since all she did was draw and doodle, but now it was mostly writing. 10

Sitting on the edge of the bed she covered her face, trying to calm herself down. She was having the best day until now. Allie felt stupid. This wasn’t like her. She never di things like this. She was a high honor student for Pete’s sake. She did everything perfectly and was outstanding, never messing up, never forgetting anything. Now she does one simple mistake and the world already felt like it was falling down around her.11

Through the rest of the night she thought of all the outcomes, still feeling sick at the thought of him reading all the papers. 12

The next day she forced herself to get up, brushed her hair and used a pin to clip up her bangs. She slipped on a buttoned shirt over her white tank, buttoning it all the way, and slipping on her flare jeans. Her jeans disappeared into another pair of boots that went up to about midway of her shin and then stopped. Normal. She slipped on her jacket and put her bag over her shoulders to get ready for school. She ate at school so she wouldn’t bother her parents. 13

Grabbing her glasses off the kitchen counter she swallowed a glass of water down in a gulp and sluggishly left the apartment, locking up after she left. Her brother was waiting in the hall with Ash and Markus. Ash was reading the last volume that had come out of Immortal Rain. He set the book down when he saw her from the corner of his eye probably. His smile was bright and sly. 14

“YOu know you shouldn’t litter your books with all those papers. I understand you loosing things and using whatever for a bookmark, but these folded up papers could do some damage to these books.” He pulled out a wad of the papers in rubber bands. “Don’t worry I didn’t read them. They were probably from last year or something since your such a pack rat.” She grabbed them and stuffed them in bag, finding a nice place to hide them when she gets home. “You’re like my little sister, I won’t snoop through your things.” 15

Little Sister?16

Honestly, any more ways he could break her heart? She wanted to punch in the wall and stay home. She was like a little sister to him? That sank all her hope of ever getting the knight in shining armor. That was going to haunt her for the rest of the day and probably longer. 17

Thank you very much Ash. She thought as she followed them to the bus stop. Where they were picked up and brought to school. The boys gave their welcome man hugs and touching hugs with them, grabbing at Arty’s assets and ignoring Allie. Only one of them hugged her and that was Davis’s friend who was just as nice as Davis was. Why couldn’t guys be more like those two?18

Throughout the whole day she had the same feeling in her stomach. An empty pit of sorrow and reject. She knew it was useless from the beginning. She would never be nothing more than a chick book to Ash. She knew she was going to be the girl that sat in the crowd, waiting for her opportunity to shine. And she was never going to get. She was going to end up going to his wedding as some lucky girl stole Ash’s heart and has his children. The whole thing was mapped out in her head. He was going to continue to use her for advice and she going to go onto college to a degree in business and go out far away from New England and maybe California to open up a restaurant with Niki. Turn it into her dream. Well not her dream, but her friend’s dream. 19

Everything from there is going to perfect for everyone but her. She may have the money she was expecting, but she won’t have the happiness. She would grow old and bitter and alone. Her friends were going to end up happy and she wasn’t because she didn’t know how to move on. The thought made her want to vomit. 20

*/*/*/*/*/*/21

Ash went about during school switching from classes to classes. He didn’t really talk during class, he was to busy actually doing his work, unlike most of the guys on his team. They thought they would make it through in life with all brawns, but Ash knew better than that. He knew that the world could be cruel to people so he to had to be smart so he wouldn’t get screwed over.22

The pictures of his girlfriend were still bothering him. He really hoped the chick book was right with her sister being evil and sending them to King and not him. Though little chick book came with a number of things. He was just so lucky to have her around. He would have been one of those clueless assholes who thought with their dicks only if she hadn’t forced him to learn manners and become a gentlemen. Now he opened doors for ladies, old or not, helped old ladies across the street, listened to the girls when he went out with them, kept his hands to himself unless he was invited, and such. 23

A gentlemen. Who would have thought?24

Maybe he should give the mini book credit. She was wonderful, smart, and very random. Like a little sibling to play along with. Except this sibling wasn’t annoying like his younger sister who enjoyed to scream along to barney and teletubbies. He just thought of the after hours. Tipsy, TaaTaa, Drinky Winky, and Ho. It made him want to laugh thinking about it. Allie gave him the picture and marked herself as Drink Winky, himself as Ho, Dino as Taataa, and Markus as Tipsy. Davis was glad not be included in the outrageous epidemic. 25

He leaned back in his chair as his English teacher began to talk about the next story they were going to do a report on. For someone who was twenty-six and a teacher, she was smoking hot. Her skirt hugged her thighs, wrapping around her ass and showing a nice curve in her back. Her buttoned shirt was tucked into her skirt and as she twisted to glance at the glass it plastered itself against her chest. Nice and curvy with a nice slender shape. To bad you couldn’t screw a teacher or you would get in some serious shit. 26

Oh well, he could move one. 27

After English he had gym with the sophomores, meaning Allie. It was just her class though. She was weak. Couldn’t even climb the rope so she stood in the beck. The gym teacher knew that because she didn’t play sports due to her severely mild asthma so he left her alone. As for tack and involving herself she had to do that.28

He waited for Allie t come out of the girls locker room, beginning to talk to her as she groggily came out. “You are such a sourpuss.” He said. She snarled at him and walked away. Allie really didn’t like gym…29

They played the girly sport of basketball and then did some dodge ball. Which was why he loved gym. This teacher actually allowed dodge ball despite it being banned from the schools in this district. He was the opposite team of Allies so he aimed for her the whole time, which she was fast. This was the one sport you could get Allie moving in. Well of course since she didn’t want to get hit with any balls. 30

He chuckled when she screamed at an almost hit to the face. She grabbed one of the balls and whipped it at him. Then he wasn’t laughing anymore. The thing hit him right in his poor jewels. They were singing so high they were breaking glass at the moment. Limping over to the bleachers he cupped himself, rocking back and forth in pain. “Are you trying to deprive me of my children?” He asked as she followed him.31

“I got hit because I hit you, and it was payback.” She said as she dropped down next to him. Pay pack his ass. That was full fledge revenge in a package plus two. No one used hitting a man’s balls as payback. 32

Allie shook her head, feeling a bit guilty for hitting him in his treasure land. He deserved it though. Ash should know that didn’t take being called names very well. Like last time she was called a fat ass bitch by some kid in the hall she turned around and chased him down the hall and outside where she hung him by his boxers. Mega wedgies. 33

After gym she went to her biology class and Ash went to Math. Fun. She was in the class with Markus who was sitting next to her, sliding notes over to her. They usually did this, and she never got caught, neither did Markus. Not only that but Markus knew that she liked Ash. He was a good person for not telling Ash. They usually talked about it sometimes, but most of the time they left the subject alone.34

Right now she was telling him about how they went to the movies without him. He was making crying faces all over the paper. Being dramatic about how he wasn’t loved because no one thought to bring him to the movies. Then again Markus wasn’t one for horror. He would cringe away in most parts and he scarred wicked easily. He even suffered from a little thing called paranoia. She did too, but it wasn’t as worse as Markus. He didn’t go out most the times or try out for sports because of it. The kid even had to go t therapy every Wednesday. 35

She wrote down the one simple line that made him glare at her for the rest of class, “Oh please Miss Drama Queen, you would have either pissed your pants watching the movie or talk about how u think the person next to us is talking about you.” She smiled to herself, getting in trouble for being happy. Apparently you weren’t allowed to be in happy in biology or you would get a detention. This teacher reminded her too much of her old science teacher from middle school. Man could that dude scare the crap out of you.36

After school she sat on the bus next to Davis while Ash talked with Markus and Dino, and she shared her own very stimulating conversation with Davis. They were talking about different parts of the world, and what time periods they would love to visit. Davis was a nerd bird like herself. He wrote his own poems and short stories, and drew ancient looking buildings, and paintings of beautiful girls. He was talented like that, and he was nice to her. Why couldn’t she be attracted to someone who didn’t refer to her as adorable, or chickbook, or sister?37

But no she has to like the one who uses her for advice and nothing more. Who shares the same interests with her, loves her randomness, but only thinks of her as his little sister. 38

“Are you still on planet earth?” Davis asked as he poked her shoulder. She looked at him with a smile.39

“Sorry, dazed off for a bit.” She replied as she went back to talking to Mr. Nice Guy. 40

Once she got off the bus she went parted with Dino and Davis, parted from Markus on the second floor, and then rode up with Ash. He was talking about how weird Immortal Rain was, but how it was also pretty interesting. He even asked if there any more series she had that he hadn’t read. Well there was Loveless, Millennium Snow, Absolute Boyfriend, and some others like Vampire Doll and Vampire Knight. She was after all a manga freak. Anime and manga was her all time fave thing besides music and being with Ash.41

But as all good times thing start, they must end. And it ended when he started to talk about his girlfriend. “I was talking to her over IM on MySpace the other day and she was talking about how her sister was hacking into her computer again and being a bitch.” Yay, talking about the ho. “So I’m guessing her sister is the who sent them.”42

“I wish you’d just dump her already,” she muttered under her breath.43

“What?” Ash asked, turning towards her.44

“I said I hope it works out well.” He had selective hearing and really needed to listen to her more.45

“Oh, kay. Well, I am taking her out tonight. I should be done with any other series you let me bother by the time, so just go in and get them.” He said as the elevator stopped and they began to walk to each others. She stopped in front of her door with him behind her, letting him follow her to her room and into her manga stash. She gave his Vampire Knight and Absolute boyfriend to read for now and walked him out.46

“On your computer desk right?” she asked as he waltzed off. 47

“Yep.”48

The rest of the day was boring. She did any homework she had, stuffed her bag with cans of carrots and peas they didn’t eat and started dinner. The cans were going to be donated to a homeless shelter. So was all the animal food for the shelter that needed help with animals. She was making mashed potatoes with green beans and corn with season chicken backed in an oven. She hated cooking, but had to do it to help around the house. Some of her friends found it unfair that she was snatched away from her friends twenty-four seven, but life wasn’t fair. 49

Allie paced her kitchen, the music from her laptop pounding through the kitchen and open half bath room. She could only really think when she was listening to loud music. Her mom thought it was weird, her brother thought it was annoying and she didn’t give a damn. 50

And as she cooked food, she went back and forth between talking to Dolly, Emma, and Lola about how Ash had called her little sister. Dolly was all “How could he do that?” While Lola laughed and Emma was all “Well he could always change his mind and be like, ‘Allie, I love you.’ and stuff.” her friend needed a reality check big time.51

She continued talking to them until Ash came on asking about Absolute boyfriend. He wanted to know if she would end up with him, but she kept telling him to keep reading. He kept typing ‘sigh’ in the thing and then he gave up and signed off. He said his girlfriend was calling and he didn’t want to be distracted. Yeah the only thing to be distracted by from that chick was her naked body on the computer with her playing with herself. Allie was disgusted. 52

And then it was time to go to bed. She showered and got dress in a big t-shirt with her bra and panties. She brushed her hair and then her teeth and went off to bed. 53
