Leonardo was your neighbor. You practically grew up together since as long as you could imagine. Your mother was a of friend of his mother. After your parent's divorce, his mother supported yours a lot. And so did he support you. You two were partner in crime. In fact you were so close you'd slept on the same bed a lot of times, and you didn't even mind what kind of clothes you wore in front of each other or did not at all? But that was childhood. You two grew out of it. But you were still extremely close. Leonardo was a gorgeous, gorgeous guy. So hot that he'd have random strangers coming up to him. You didn't mind it, until you did. You grew to like him as more than friends. Of course, a boy and girl can never be just "best friends".... Unless the girl wasn't... Attractive. You were insecure the way you looked. It wasn't that you were ugly. In fact you had a good body, an average face, but infront of Leo you got looks from people. :How did this girl get such a guy? why was he close to her?' He didn't seem to notice it. You couldn't help but think if you were ever his level, would Leo love you in a 'more than friends' way too? You never dared to confess. Risk of ruining the friendship was too much to bear. Leo was the perfect guy smart, rich, handsome and on top of that his charming, well mannered personality. Anyone would fall for him. You were sitting at couch, though you had a book in your hand and eyes on the page, you weren't actually reading. Leo's head was on your lap and ever since your stupid crush on him, the things that were normal before to you, flustered you now. Leo didn't know. of course. You were good at pretending after all. He was playing chess on his phone. And commenting and talking casually in between. "Hey wow that was dumb, this dude could've just killed my Rook..."
