“I’ve never had a girl friend before” He admitted with a bit of enthusiasm.
“Gee. I wonder why” I threw him a withering look. He ignored me but a smirk blossomed on his lips.
“And are you sure we are only going to be friends?” He wiggled his eyebrows.
“There’s no way deeper feelings will develop! Like ever!” I cut him off. He nodded and started getting up. In an impulse I couldn’t control, I grabbed the sleeve of his jacket. “But if…if they do…which is really unlikely…I’m gonna confess first!”
It felt like I was already losing in this game so I at least wanted some sense of victory. He simply smiled but this time, it felt warmer and brighter than the others. Could be my imagination though.
