Briar, an unpopular girl who happens to love the most popular guy in school is faced with some trouble. She loves Adam but hes dating snobby Heather, she cant have him but in the mids of fawning over Adam she doesn't notice Cayden. A cute shy boy who would die to have her notice him. Will she? Will Adam fall for her?
I sit next to him in English. I sit next to the most athletic, cute, and charming boy in my grade, Adam. He and i have never talked but i think if he got to know me he would like me a lot more. He has a girlfriend, Heather. She is the worst person ever and treats him like crap. He always has to get her lunch while she sits at the popular table filing her stubby nails. I'm sitting with my friends Rebecca, and Sam. They always tell me i dream to big, like i want to be a doctor, mostly because my parents say that if i don't they will hate me forever, yet i know nothing about it. I also have a crush on the star quarter back, they tell me it will never happen, but you have dreams for a reason...
Why dose that girl keep staring at me? She looks at me a lot and its kind of creepy.. I've never talked to her. I think her name is Blair, ya I'm pretty sure it is. Shes a total loser but i guess i could be nice. I see her rummaging around for a pen.
"Pen, where are you?"
"Here you can just borrow mine"
"Um, uh uh"
"Your welcome?"
"Uh"
Oh my gosh, Adam just gave me his pen! OMG I'm touching his pen! I had a little spaz dance in my chair and i knocked over my binder. I went to pick it up.
"Crap"
"Here let me get that for you"
"Oh.. thanks"
That was awkward.. Cayden Harris used to go to my day care when i was 5. i had a have crush on him and i would always glue his hair to his neck then i would have to sit in the knotty chair. Then when we got to middle school our classes switched and we never talked.
Briar.. oh i can think of her all day, shes so cute! I've had a crush on her since grade 4. I'm very good at hiding my feelings.. i think its been four years to long and I'm ready to start making my moves, like start flirting, hanging out more and stuff like that. I can tell, along with everyone else that she likes Adam, but its better to try and fail than to wonder.. right?
"Can i have my pen back?"
"uh"
"Thanks" 
Shes really cute.. not my type for sure, to shy. Well a popular kid can never have to many friends right?
"Here's my number, text me";)
"uh, mm hum"
OMG! Adam just gave me his number. What are we gonna talk about? What if he doesn't like me?
I need some friend assistance! I text Rebecca and Sam " GIRL TALK NOW! BEHIND THE PORTABLES!" 
"Okay whats wrong?"
"Nothings wrong"
"Really? You made us run down here thinking you were dying for this"
"No for this" holding out the note.
"OMG!"
"OMG is right! I guess you might have a chance after all"
" I need help what do i talk about?"
" I recommend starting off simple, then tell him how you feel. That's how i found my true love Grey."
" Gag! I say find things you two have in common.. like the same interests.."
" Ill try..."
Then i got a text from an unknown number stating " Hey i was wondering if you would like to hang out at the new Moovie Smoothie place down town, get to know each other better."
" Girls look at this"
" That's so Adam!"
" Go!"
I text back "Sure ill meet you there"
I walk into the Moovie Smoothie and i don't see Adam anywhere, the only person i know there is Cayden smiling at me. 
"Cayden.."
"Ya"
"Do you know where Adam is? Did you see him anywhere?"
"No, why?"
"Cause he invited me on a smoothie date"
"No he didn't"
"What do you mean?"
"It was me.."
"Oh sorry, so why did you wanna hang out?"
"Cause we haven't talked in 3 or 4 years"
"I guess"
"Here take a seat, let me buy you something, what would you like?"
"Strawberry please"
"Coming right up"
I grab out my phone "Girls its NOT ADAM! its Cayden!
"Oh my gosh really? Hes so cute."
"I guess.."
" Dose he like you?"
"I don't think so, he said that we just haven't talked for a while and he wanted to know me better, oh hes coming back i have to go now, text you after"
"One strawberry for you"
"Thanks, so what did you wanna talk about?"
"You, so whats new?"
"Nothing really..."
"Wow that's cool"
"I know"
"Ha ha"
"I like spending time with you, i forgot how fun it was"
"Ya, so why did you think Adam was here? Are you dating him?"
"Oh i wish, but we did have our first conversation today and he gave me his number"
"Oh that's cool.. so you like him?"
"Ya"
"That's cool"
"So, who do you like?"
"No one.."
"Boring."
"Wow thanks"
"Your welcome, well i have to go home now and study for the math test"
"I can help you"
"No its okay"
"Fine, but at least let me walk you home"
"Fine"
Its nice to spend time with Cayden. I forgot how fun it was and how nice he is. Now that I'm his friend again i feel much happier, hes so nice.
This is awesome! i love being with her! it makes me feel so special and good inside, and now from hanging out with her today and seeing she the same old, beautiful Briar i used to know, i know that i love her.
"Here's my house"
"I knew that"
"Wow good memory"
"I know!"
"Thanks for walking me home, and I'm really happy that we could spend some time together to become closer friends"
"Ya... friends"
"See you tomorrow"
"Bye"
Become closer friends.. is that all she thinks of me? friends? i need to change that.
I slam the door. 
"Briar, where were you?"
"I was hanging out with Cayden"
"Wow, little Cayden.. oh he was so cute!"
"Um mom.."
"Sorry Hun"
I grab my phone and text Rebecca, Sam, and Adam
"What happened?"
"Did he confess that he loved you?"
"No, were just friends and i know we both want it to stay that way."
Then Adam texted me back, what i have waited for my whole life.
"Hey"
"Hi"
"Sup"
"Nothing really i just got back from hanging out with Cayden"
"Kool"
"So what are you doing?"
"Gtg"
"Bye.."
That is what Ive waited for my whole life? That was horrible! We didn't even talk, i thought me and him would become friends like me and Cayden and then we would fall in love.. but at this rate ill be dead by then.. 
"Hey Briar.. its Cayden.. i was wondering if you wanted to come with me to Miles party? i need a date and your the only person i could think of.."
"Sure"
"Ill pick you up around 8"
"Okay ill see you then"
Oh a party that will be fun.. i heard all the football players go to those parties.. Adam will be there and we can talk and get closer to become Briam.. that's my couple name i made up, cute right?
Yes! shes my date to the party! maybe shes on the same page as me..maybe she likes me too! we'll see :)
I grab out my phone and text the girls "hey girls I'm going to Miles party, you guy wanna come?"
"Duh! Miles is so superlisiously cute!"
"Sure can i bring Grey?"
"Sure, and Adam will be there and I'm gonna make my move!"
"YAY!!"
"We will meet you there"
"K"
Two hours later i hear a knock on the door and i run down stairs in my dark washed skinny jeans with the lace belt and lace top and my hair thrown up into a pony tail as usual. I open the door.
"Wow, you look, Amazing!"
"Um thanks you look nice too"
That was nice of him to say that, then we walk across the street to the car and get in.
"Why hello Briar, i haven't seen you in a long time, you look so nice."
"Thanks Mrs. Harris"
"Call me Debby"
"Come on mom lets go"
Twenty minuets later we arrive at Miles house and the parties in full swing.
"Thanks Debby"
"No problem, have fun!"
Then we walk in and i see everyone from our school is there.
"Oh there's Rebecca and Sam, see you later Cayden"
"Uh bye"
"Dude! shut down!"
"Shut up Miles you don't have a girlfriend!"
"After i make my move on Sam i will and Briar doesn't know you like her.. and she seems interested"
"Really? you think so?"
"No, she totally loves Adam, but dude they arnt friends and if you get in there first you could change that!"
"Fine"
I need to tell her how i feel!


"Hi girls"
"Hey, so r u gonna actually talk to Adam tonight?"
"Ya"
"Well hes over there and hes alone so id go now.."
"Okay wish me luck"
"Luck"
I walk up to Adam while hes pouring some punch for him and Heather. 
"Um, Hi Adam"
"Wow so that's what you sound like"
"Ha, ya so i was wondering if you wanted to dance"
"I have to go, bye"
"Um okay"
I walk back to my friends
"That was a fail"
"Don't worry you tried your best."
"Thanks"
"Here comes Miles and Cayden"
"Hey Sam wanna dance?"
"Totally!"
" Briar"
"Ya"
"Do you wanna dance?"
"Sure"
Then i walk out onto the dance floor and a slow song comes on and we start dancing.
"What are you looking for?"
"Huh? Oh I'm looking for Adam"
"Oh"
"Look! Hes not dancing with anyone! I have to go"
"Wait"
"What?"
"Can we talk?"
"But the song will be over soon"
"Please"
"Fine"
"Follow me"
I follow him upstairs to the end of the hall way.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Briar"

"Ya?"
"I love you, i really do and that's why i asked you out on the smoothie date and to come with me here, its cause i love you. I have for four years and i cant begin to imagine my life without you!"
"I don't know what to say"
"Fine"
Cayden storms past me as i stand in the silent hallway. I never thought he felt that way..
I push past her and down the stairs and go strait home. I slam the door.
"Honey, why are you home so soon?"
"I told her how i felt"
"And what did she say?"
"Nothing"
"Oh honey its okay, you will find someone who really loves you"
"But i only want her"
"Well she did say nothing.. she might still have feelings for you"
"Dont think so.."
I run up to my room and slam the door. There is no way she loves me! I can just tell! I sit on my bed and cry, while tearing up my pictures of her.


"Hey babe, here's your punch"
"Wow that took you long enough! and don't call me that anymore!"
"What?"
"I saw you talking to that loser Briar, and i will not date a loser!"
"What dose that mean?"
"It means were through!"
Wow i don't have a girlfriend.. i cant be a foot ball star without a girlfriend! Well that Blair girl likes me so i guess ill just go out with her.
"Hi, you two are friends with Blair right?"
"Do you mean Briar?"
"Ya"
"Why?"
"I need to talk to her"
I'm sitting in the corner, with my eyes welling up with tears.. what should i do? Cayden loves me and hes so sweet! but i also like Adam but i don't think he would ever like me. I think i do love Cayden. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and I'm hoping its Cayden, then i see its a call from Sam.
"Hello?"
"Are you crying?"
"No"
"Okay well I'm here with Rebecca and Adam"
"Adam?"
"Yes. Adam and he says he need to talk to you, where are you?"
"Up stairs in the hall way"
"Okay hes on his way"
A minuet later i see Adam come around the corner and smile at me.
"Hey Blair"
"My names Briar"
"Oh ya, you know you look beautiful in this lighting"
"What?"
"Your eyes are such a gorgeous color of blue" getting closer and closer.
"Huh?"
"Kiss me"
I kiss him. I kissed Adam. It wasn't as good as i thought it would be.. i pulled away. He smiled at me and went back in. I pushed him away.
"Whats wrong? I thought you liked me"
"I did"
"So why wont you kiss me?" going for another kiss.
"Because i don't"
"What?"
"I like someone else... and they need to know"
I push him out of my way and run out of Miles house and strait to Cayden's house. 
"Hi Debby, is Cayden there?"
"He doesn't want to talk right now"
"Okay, just tell him i need to talk to him"
"Sure will" and closes the door
"Cayden"
"What?"
"Briar is outside she wants to talk to you"
"Well i don't want to talk to her"
"Fine but i would tell her that cause it looks shes gonna stay for a while"
"Huh?"
I look outside my window as she takes a seat on my front lawn, i close the window and sit down on my bed. Why is she here? 
I go and sit on his lawn for and hour hoping he would come out, he didn't .. i couldn't wait any longer! I climbed onto his balcony and knocked on his window. Then i saw his curtains open and he peeked his head out to see.
Oh my gosh! how did she get on my balcony! she must really want to talk! I open the door as i wipe the tears from my eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"I needed to talk to you"
"About what? How you want to be friends?"
"No"
"Than what?"
"When you left it got me thinking.. how do i really feel about you? and i realised that i didn't like Adam. Me and him kissed, and after all the time of me liking him. It was horrible! it was pure torture! because i didn't like him. I liked you..."
"What?"
"Ya"
"You kissed him?"
"Oh my gosh"
" I'm just kidding! I'm really happy to hear that."
"Ya."
"Briar?"
"Ya?"
"Would you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes!"
I cant believe that this is how the night turned out! and i do like it better with him! hes just so much more.. human! and caring and kind and the kind of person i would love to spend the rest of my life with.
I am so excited! To know she loves me is the best thing anyone could ever give to me! and i would never change anything! Well maybe the kissing part.. id rather my girlfriend not be kissing jerks like that! Me and her smile and look at each other.
Me and him kissed. and let me say it was way better than kissing Adam! 
"I love you"
"I love you too"


I hope you enjoyed the story and stay tuned for loads more!
