Secretly In Love With My Best Friend

"Hello." I pick up my ringing phone without checking the caller's ID.

"And she decides to finally pick her calls." The mocking voice of my childhood best friend came from the other end of the line.

"Says the same boy I was calling earlier." I roll my eyes at him despite knowing he won't be able to see my expression.

"So miss nagger, are you ready for the day?"

"Of course I'm ready", I said as I looked at myself in the mirror, admiring my beauty.

"Okay then, I will pick you up in the next 10minutes" Edin, my best friend said as he ended the call.

Meanwhile, as I was looking at the mirror, my mind flashed back to the days we became friends and gradually best friends.

Just like yesterday, I laughed remembering how I was a popular girl which no one could pass without glancing at and I was also a troublesome girl(that was part of my hobby).

How it happened, I was in high school and was 16years when I met Edin. After my mum dropped me off at school, I entered my class and met my friends sitting around my desk while waiting for me, as I entered, the girls called out my nickname while hailing me as I was looking so beautiful, astonishing and smart in my uniform ( which was my everyday look that made most girls envy me and boys drooling over me). The hailing made me so happy and pompous as I enjoyed being the center of attention. Something which I didn't like was that there was a guy who didn't find me attracting and the worst part was that he was very handsome and on top of it intelligent, but I had to ignore all that cause he wasn't in my level as I see him as a low class guy.

As I sat down on my seat, Erica who was the closest to me gave me her notebook which she wrote down names of girls who didn't obey me and seeing the list, made me angry and I decided to meet with them after school, so I asked Erica and the other girls to make sure they wait, just immediately our Mathematics teacher entered and the girls went to their various seats.

"Where did we stop in our last class?" the teacher asked.

" We stopped at Algebra, Sir" said Gideon our class captain and the most intelligent in our class.

"Okay bring out your textbooks and I'm sure that I gave you guys an assignment yesterday, after the class, Gideon gather their notes and get them to my office so I can make them and record the scores as your exams are fast approaching" said the teacher.

After the period was over, we had history lesson and the bell for break was heard, I was so happy as I went over to the cafeteria to have my lunch. As I carried the tray which contained my lunch and was equally talking to my friends, I didn't know that someone was coming to my front so I accidentally bumped into him and the tray fell out and the drinks in it spilled all over and poured on me and it stained my white shirt, I got very angry because cleanliness wasn't something I joke with and also where will I get a white shirt from.

"I'm so sorry" said the guy whom I bumped into.

"Oh you're sorry, what exactly are you sorry for, is it for not looking forward or for staining my shirt, do you know what you have just caused, Oh my God!!, how will I wear this through out the rest of the day?" I asked while trying to use the tissue paper Erica brought to clean up the mess but it kept spreading which made me angry the more.

"But I said sorry, why attacking me?" the guy asked raising his voice a little higher which seemed like he was also angry.

"And I asked what exactly are you sorry for, or will the sorry stop this mess or get me a new shirt", I said feeling irritated.

"Feels like there is nothing else I can do and whether you accept the sorry or not, it's none of my business, as far as I said the words to you", he said and was about to leave when I grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"I don't get and where do you think you are going after causing the problem here" I said while feeling like giving him a hot slap.

"Okay I don't want to cause further problem and also I have a class to attend, what do you want me to do?" he asked looking at me.

"Well just get me a new shirt and I will let you go" I said, meanwhile other girls have returned to the class leaving Erica and I there to settle the dispute.

As being a cool guy who doesn't talk too much, he went up to his class and came down with a white shirt which was in his school bag, he always has an extra incase something like this happened to him.

"keep the shirt", he said while giving me the shirt and he went back to his classroom leaving I and Erica glaring at his back, it was then I realized how handsome, tall and energetic of a guy he is.

Then I went to the restroom and had the shirt changed and threw the other stained one away as a wealthy man's daughter I am.

"Woah, Edin doesn't talk too much and he's so cute when handling girl's stuff, Kira deserves whatever he did to her but that girl has a bad mouth always trying to be in control, I just hate the girl, these were comments which I heard from people I called my friends but I ignored all because if I had faced it, it will lead to another thing.

After school, my driver was already waiting for me, as I entered the G-wagon car, I saw another car which drove passed ours and I decided to check who was in it, lo and behold it was Edin whom I thought was a guy from a poor background, I was so shocked because grading from the type of car which took him home, one will know that he can't be compared to me as his family is way richer than mine. I came back to my sense when the driver asked me to put on my seat belt, which I did.

As I reached home, I quietly went to my room without greeting my parents which was almost part of me and my parents didn't care, all the did was to pamper and provide for me. I decided that I will try and be friends with Edin because I'm the type who likes befriending people higher than me in all aspects of life and then went downstairs to have my dinner and washed the shirt, which I placed in my wardrobe since I was asked not to return it.

The next day, I hurriedly had my bath and ate my breakfast inorder to be at school early and meet with Edin. As I finished eating, the car horn was heard and I picked up my school bag and went towards the car, and entered, the driver asked me to put on the seat belt which was now becoming a routine and I obeyed, he then drove me to school and stopped at the gate. On getting out of the car, I saw Edin entering the school compound and I immediately shouted his name and he stopped, looking around for who called out to him, then he saw me waving at him.

I caught up with him and turned to look at him.

"Good morning" I said

"Good morning" he replied

"I'm sorry for yesterday, and also thanks for the shirt, I could have returned it but you asked me not to" I said while looking at him.

Meanwhile my friends were there waiting for me and I didn't know, so they were surprised and shocked to hear me say "Sorry" because that was the first time the word came out of my mouth ever since they knew me.

"It's okay, as far as you acknowledge that it wasn't my fault, meanwhile I'm Edin" he said while smiling at me.

"I'm Kira, nice to be friends with you" I said blushing.

"The pleasure is mine" he said.

As I was thinking, there came a knock on the door which brought me to reality.
