    "You have beautiful eyes." You tell him, your guy best friend. You both were in the office for beating someone up—the person was bullying you. Calling you gay and saying you two would look good together.

    When you call his eyes beautiful he groans but you could still see that sparkle in them. The principal glared at you two, you tried not to laugh but it was hard to hold back.

    After school detention—During detention he sits beside you in a chair and sighs. You side eye him and he holds his breath, his face becoming red like a tomato.

    Eventually he gives up and starts absolutely wheezing, the tears running down his cheeks. The tears made his eyes sparkle like diamonds, the prettiest diamonds you've ever seen.

    You only begin laughing because of his stupid hilarious laugh. You both thought it was stupid that the bully never got detention. But being in detention was better than you being separated at your houses.

    The next day at lunch you stole another friend groups lunch table, they tried shoving you both away but you didn't budge. You made dirty minded jokes at lunch, some people looking over at one point. You were damn loud, but wouldn't give it up for the world.

    During gym you ran the mile, boring but you two managed to live. The teacher absolutely hates you two, but your grades were too good to complain.

    After school you walked to his house, sitting on his roof at night chattering away. It doesn't happen often you two hang out after school so you were grateful. He stared up at the sky before speaking up.

    "If we can't find anyone promise you'll marry me?" You nod and lock pinkies with him. "Promise."

    The days flew by, and he didn't really seem like himself anymore. He didn't have the energy he used to have. And then one night he called you sobbing. He was moving..you were angry, but tired to cheer him up. You ended up graduating college and highschool without him. There was a highschool reunion one day. Your eyes met with his, and a woman standing next to him. Holding a baby.
