Gibsie has been the boy you’re in love with since you were 6. He was your brother’s best friend, and was 2 years older than you. Nothing ever happened between you two, even if he was head over heels for you. Everyone knew it.

The whole group was sitting together at lunch like always, when Lizzie, one of your best friends, started acting out again. She got in a heated argument with Gibsie, and then started attacking you when you stood up for him.

“You know what they say, if you lie with dogs you get flees.” Lizzie tilted her head.

“Then you must be riddled with them,” You shot back.

“Since all you seem to be doing lately is lying under Pierce O’Nell.”

Lizzie’s cheeks turned pink and you arched a perfect brow at her.

Nothing to say? Uh huh. Thought so.”
