In my mind, she was always a really good friend. She was so quirky and fun and she made me laugh all the time.

And then one day she wasn't just a really good friend.

She was a girl. A real girl with long brown hair and gorgeous brown eyes. And she had a smile that could make the sun embarrassed to rise every day.

And the personality to match. Not only was she funny and different, she was so sweet and she was the kindest person I knew. Not nearly enough people existed in this world that were as lovely and wonderful as she was.

And I was totally in love with her.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Concern was etched on her face and loud in her voice.

"I'm okay," I answered. "Just...scared."

She blinked. "Hmm...how come?" She asked.

I bit my lip and looked up at her. "I think...I fell in love with you...and now...I don't know," I mumbled. "I don't want to ruin anything. But I'm scared I'll never get the chance to see the future we could have."

She stared at me in shock. "Me?" She whispered.

"Mm."

She looked at me. "Why?" And so I told her.

She blushed. "You're...you're everything I've ever wanted," she breathed.

I smiled. And all because one day my best friend turned into a girl.
