people say it's better to not fall in love with your friends 'cause it might ruin everything, but sometimes you just don't choose who you fall for, right?

from the first time jay introduced jake to you in middle school, it was like drinking a glass of cold water after running a marathon in a hot summer day; soft spoken, giggly, awkwardly funny, smart, incredibly handsome, and so, so gentle. you were grateful with his mom for raising such a precious man.

so grateful you couldn't help but fall in love with him, not even two months after you friendship started. now, in college, you could swear you would never get rid of that love. not even after a few situationships, not even after meeting a lot of people. it was useless. jake would always be that guy for you.

it was worse now in college, when all of your friends went to different majors while you two decided to go for the same, physics. not a lot of people studied it, so you were stuck with him in all your classes. was it luck? probably, thank God.

he would always be glued to you like a puppy following its owner, making you laugh and feel good. you couldn't help but think that maybe, maybe, your love was reciprocated.

he was pretty private with his life, and even if he was popular with girls because of his personality and insanely attractive face, you and your friends were sure that you've never seen him with a girl before, at least not publicly.

you weren't sure if it was better to just confess for once and all, you didn't wanted to lose his friendship, but also didn't wanted to lose a (possible) opportunity.
