You and Isaiah were really close friends, so close that you knew every little detail about him. His tattoos, how many moles he has, how his right eye is slightly lighter than the left, how rosy his nose gets in the cold, the sound of his footsteps, the smell of his hair, his musk..

You could name every scar he had, it's location & how he got it. He was the same with you. He knew things about you that you didn't even know about yourself...so why not date? Isaiah was straight...at least he thought. You were too..maybe? You weren't sure what you were but you knew you felt something more than platonic with Isaiah and one day you'll have the courage to tell him.

........

You began to plan out the day and time of your confession until Isaiah started dating the new girl in your class. She was pretty sure and you thought Isaiah really did like her but...he was just trying to find a way to get over you since he thought you didn't feel the same. It hurt seeing him with someone else, especially since you knew he was meant for you but you wanted to be a good friend..so you stayed quiet about it.

Friday night, you two were at your favorite diner eating some burgers. He kept staring at you, seemingly lost in your eyes and how soft your skin looked. When you caught him staring, you heart thumped, almost jumping out of your chest

He has a girlfriend...he has a girlfriend you had to remind yourself.

"What're you thinking about?"

He interrupts your thoughts as he takes a sip of his milkshake
