~at the park
"What? You have a cat?" I asked Greyson with a smile.
"Yes. I do have a cat." He said. "His name is Oreo."
"Awesome!" I answered.
My smile turned into frown. I can't tell it to Greyson that I'm scared when it comes to cats.
"Are you okay?" He asked me with a worried face.
"Uhh, Greyson." I murmured. "I'm going to tell you something."
"Sure."
"I..." I said. "I am scared of cats."
"Woah." He reacted.
I smiled and said sorry. He told me it's okay.
"Why are you scared of ca-"
"HEY! Let's go at the ice cream parlor!" I shouted. I did this because I don't want to tell him the reason why I am scared of cats.
"But we just ate ice cream a while ago?"
I giggled. "Heeeheee. I want to try the.. Uhh.."
"What?"
"The... Uhh... cookie ice cream."
"Do you mean, Cookies and Cream?"
"Uhh, no." I refused. "It doesn't have cream, yeah."
"I've never heard of that." He said with his eyebrow raised. "But sure."
We reached the parlor and I rushed to the ice cream lady.
"Uhm, cookie ice cream, please." I said.
"Oh, sweetie. There's no cookie ice cream. Do you mean, cookies and cream?"
"Uhh. Okay, give me two."
I gave the ice cream to Greyson. Seems like he doesn't like the ice cream.
I stared at him with such big eyes.
"Strange." He said.
"What's strange?"
"Uhh, it's getting late." I said "I think we should go home."
"Yeah. Thank you for being such a good friend." He thanked.
"No problem." I answered. "I'm your bestfriend now."
Greyson smiled. We walked 300 steps until we reached our houses. (we're neighbors.)
"So, goodbye!" I said and turned back.
"W-wait." He shouted.
He kissed me on the cheeks and ran inside their house. I was shocked. Butterflies met my tummy. I was still standing in the middle of the road, staring and lost in thoughts. Good thing, there were no cars. and No, ____. Maybe, that's a friendly kiss. Yes. Friendly kiss. I went inside our house blushing.
Mom looked at me strangely. "____, why are your cheeks red?"
"Mom..." I said with such big eyes. "I.... I need to go to sleep."
"Okay." She smiled. "Goodnight, then."
I went to my room and tossed myself in my bed and still thinking about the FRIENDLY kiss a while ago. I looked at my handy mirror and found myself blushing.
"Go away, butterflies! Go away!" I said to myself as I pat my stomach.
Well, I don't want to say this but I think LOVE is already hugging me. No, ____. That was a FRIENDLY kiss. Ugh. I never understand myself.
I called Kathleen and told her everything about what happened.
"REALLLLLLY?!" She shrieked. "NO WAY."
"Yeah." I murmured. "But, I know that's a friendly kiss."
"Love is hugging youuu!" She said. "Goodluck."
"STOP IT." I shouted at my phone. "He's my bestfriend."
"Ohmy!" She said. "Well, kk. Goodnight."
"Kbye. Nights." I answered and turned off my phone.
6: 27 AM in the morning. I can feel someone tickling my foot.
"Heeeheeee. Stop it." I giggled. The tickling got worst.
"It's time to get up in the morning..." Louis, my little brother sang while tickling my foot.
"What?" I said terrificaly. "It's 6 AM!"
"Mom said that we should wake up early because we need to prepare."
"Prepare for what?"
"Lunch with some neighbor."
I didn't answer a thing. I got up, took a bath and wear my favorite tshirt and shorts.
"Mom.." I said looking for her.
"Oh, good morning, honey!" She said with a smile. "Good thing, you're awake now."
"Louis woke me up." I answered. "So, who's coming?"
"Oh. Cha-, charles, thomas, I don't really remember their last name."
"Mom, did you take your memory gap medicine?"
"I'm afraid I didn't. Thanks for reminding, sweetie."
"No problem."
I went outside and set the lunch table and put a very nice table cloth. I swayed as I put the dishes and cups on the table.
"What the heck are you doing, ___?" Louis asked with his eyebrow raised, holding the food.
"Uhh. What else?" I said. "Preparing!"
"Why are you swaying?"
"I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"I'm not. SHUT UP and put those food on the table."
"They're here!" Mom shouted. "Is the table already set?"
"Yep!" Me and Louis shouted back.
"Come here, you two."
We ran until we reached the living room but I stopped in the kitchen.
"Hey, why did you stop?" Louis asked.
"I-I know that boy!" I said pointing to someone.
"Who is he?"
"He's my friend. But he knows that I'm his bestfriend."
"Then, what's the problem with that?"
"Ugh." I sighed. "Can you keep a secret?"
"Nah. I mean, yes. Sure."
"He kissed me on the cheeks yesterday."
"Woah!"
"Yeah."
"I'm going to tell!" He said and continued running.
"HEY! That was supposed to be our secret!" I shouted chasing him. "And that kiss was a friendly kiss!"
I chased him and ended up in the living room where Mom, Greyson and his family were.
"Oh, they there are!" Mom said to the neighbors.
"Hello!" Louis greeted them.
"[YN]?" Greyson said shockingly.
"Hi, Greyson. Welcome to our house." I giggled.
"You know each other?" His mother, Lisa asked.
"Yes. She's my schoolmate and we're bestfriends." Greyson answered.
"Heeeheee. Yes." I giggled.
"Mom, why not show them around?" Louis suggested.
"Good idea." Mom answered.
As Mom was about to show them around, Greyson winked at me. HE WINKED AT ME. I stayed in the living room and I can't help myself from shaking.
~Greyson's POV:
I can't believe that we're in [YN]'s house. Their house was really beautiful and so is she. While Mrs. [Your last name] is showing us around, Alexa told me something.
"Hey, Greyson." She whispered. "Was that the girl you've kissed on the cheeks yesterday?"
"Yes." I answered. "Her cheeks tasted like ice cream."
"Ohhh." She said. "I thought you like Lauren?"
"Yes. I like Lauren. [YN] is only my bestfriend. And that kiss? That was a friendly kiss."
--back to your POV.
Yeah. I stayed in the living room until someone shouted my name.
"[YN]!!! Come here! Time to eat!" Louis shouted.
"Coming!" I shouted back. I ran outside and saw them already eating.
"Oh, there you are, sweetie." Mom said.
"Here I am." I said.
"Go, sit with uhm, uhhh. What's your name?" She said and asked Greyson what is his name.
"Greyson." Greyson answered.
"Yes, Greyson." Mom said. "Go, sit with Greyson, [YN]."
I sat beside Greyson and he looked at me.
"Yo, [YN]. Aren't you going to eat?" He asked.
"Uh. I am going to eat." I answered and not looking at him.
"Okay." He said and continued eating.

**author's note: Hey, I forgot to put that you and your family just reside in Oklahoma and yeah, you're new.**

"Greyson! Me and your dad will have some adult time with [YN]'s mom. So, why not stroll with [YN] while we're gone?" Mrs. Chance asked.
"Sure thing." Greyson answered with a smile on his face.
"How about you, Alexa and Tanner? Are you going to join them?" Mrs. Chance asked her other two children.
"No, maybe next time." Alexa answered and winked at Greyson. "I'm going to hang out with my bestie."
Tanner refused because he said that he's too old to join them. Haha.
"What's with the wink a while ago?" I whispered to Greyson.
"Oh, that?" He answered. "That's nothing. Really. Haha."
"How about the kiss yesterday?"
"That was a friendly kiss."
See, I'm right. That was a FRIENDLY kiss. Butterflies stayed away from tummy. Haha.
