Julia thought senior year was gonna be the best year in her life. After ending a two year relationship and dealing with her mothers new marriage, it was the least what the universe could do.
Except it wasn't so simple. Turns out her best friend will...

I've never grown up with a brother, so I can only imagine this is what it was like when I woke up to Blake's freight train of a snore.
He was cuddling with a body pillow I gave him. Arm pressed up on his forehead, lifting up his shirt just slightly. His snoring blocking out all my own thoughts.
I carefully rolled out of my bed and tip toed out of my room. My dad door was shut, most likely have earplugs in to get a decent amount of sleep. If he wasn't on the you-gotta-make-up thing, he would have not agreed to this. I know of it.
Koda lifted up his head from the couch cushion when he heard me walk into the room.
He looked at me and I smiled. Planting myself neck to him and rubbing my hands in his fur.
"What do I do boy?" I asked him. "I seriously have no clue."
Koda tilted his head before moving himself to sit up. Tilting his head. Sometimes I think he understands what I'm saying. And is telling me a million things that I just can't hear.
"How do I confess to Blake that I like him?" I asked. Scratching the back of his ear with my fingertips.
Koda licked my face with his wet tongue.
"Eww," I say, wiping me my mouth. "We need to seriously get you a girlfriend."
"Koda needs a girlfriend?" Blake's voice echoed from down the hall.
I looked up. Embarrassment burning my cheeks.
"How long were you there?" I asked. Praying he didn't hear me. All the things I said.
"Only the Koda needs a girlfriend part," he chuckled slightly. "My phone alarm went off."
"Right." I groan. "School is calling us."
"I was gonna go change." He pointed to the door with his finger. "I'll be back."
"Okay." I smile weakly.
Once the door shut, I looked at Koda with a stern glare.
"You could have warned me." I snap.
He barked.
"I love you too." I smile, standing up to go look somewhat presentable by the time Blake gets back.
Which was way too soon than I originally thought.
I was about fully naked when I heard the front door open and shut and the footsteps of Blake approaching my room.
I grabbed the closest thing and yanked it over me. Turns out it was a long silky white dress that did not cover everything I wish it would. Including my forest of legs which I haven't shaved since December. There was no need. And the scar on my right shoulder I got from a boating accident, which was not something Blake should see, along with some acne scars besides them.
