Best friends
Evelyn
" Wow , this is so not happening i am not going with you. Find yourself a new date ok. " I said standing in front of my mirror, commandingly.
" What and why would you not go with me " , my best friend, Jacob, ask me , coming toward me entering through my room's door.
" Not just with you, i am not going with annnnyone ", i said dramatically dragging the 'n'. Crossing my both arm, one over the other and dragging them out of the way.
" But whyyyyy" he asks, dropping his both arms on his sides.
" Because of this traitor , see , look at it, this red pus filled pimple. It had spoiled my mood . I am not going ."
I say turning in the direction of mirror, pointing my pointer finger towards the pimple, showing him.
I was so excited last night to go the first high school party . How can I not be excited , i wanted to look stunning for the party. Why ? Because my first crush is gonna be there. Noah. He is a new student. The new hottie. Huh. But now this devil pimple has ruined all my plans.
When I was lost in Noah's world , Jacob started shaking my shoulder.
" Hey , whats happening Eve. Since when have you started paying attention to your looks. ". He turns me towards him and takes my face in his palms, caressing my cheeks.
Yeah, he is right. I have never cared about pimples, makeup. I liked looking natural. But this is the thing. When you want someone to look at you. You want him to look at you like he has never seen anything better. Earlier I don't have look at myself , if I am looking good or not. I look good even without makeup.
Jacob even says that I look beautiful even just after waking up. So I was pretty confident about my looks .
But since Noah , i don't know what is happening to me.
" Eve , are you hiding something from me. Do you have anything to talk about that I don't know hm. " He asks , making me look at him in the eye.
" No, nothing. Why did you ask? " I counterback , playing cool, removing his hands from my face, going to sit on the bed.
" I don't know , you are acting weird from a few days. You keep zoning out. Is there something worrying you. " He asks, coming towards me . He sits beside me on the bed.
Jacob and I are best friends since childhood. He always get to know if something is going on in my mind. And I still don't know how . I just know that he understands me the best. He cares for me. We don't lie to each other ever.
I think I should tell him.
I keep my head on his shoulder, and he hugs me with his one shoulder. I stay there for a few moments gathering courage from his support. I don't know how he is going to react. Of course he won't judge me. But I know he is very protective towards me.
Finally I take my initial position and hold his one hand in mine.
He makes the hold tight instantly.
" Eve you are worrying me, just tell me, you know I am there with you. "
He encourage me.
" Jacob , I.. i have a crush on Noah" i say, waiting for his response.
But nothing . He stills. His hold on my hand loosens. He just kept looking me, making sure if I am not joking.
When I kept my serious face, he understood that I am not joking.
He takes both hands away and look away from me, brushing his light brown hair with his hands like he does in situation where he thinks what to do now.
" Jacob, I..I ...please talk to me. You know how I am . I haven't seen any guy in that light but Noah has unknowingly attracted me towards himself. I know he might reject me on first sight bcz i ..I am not a cool type girl. And he,,he has so many girls after him. Why would he choose me? Right .
I ..i.. " i say in stuttering voice.
I stop when I see him not giving any reaction.
" Jacob are you listening ? " I ask him, slightly shaking him.
" Hmm yeah ,, i heard what you said." He replies.
"And ??" I ask
Now he turns toward me fully and hold my hands once again.
" And you are wrong " he replies
" Hhh.."
" Eve you are perfect, no one can reject you , if one does then he is unlucky to have the most beautiful and smart girl in his life.
And this pimple , you know you look the same Eve, no difference. If anything you look more cute." He says caressing my face. My lips twitches up in smile.
" I don't know if Noah is the guy for you. But if you any chance with him , then you need to get ready fast, go go go" he exclaim and push me in bathroom real quickly, i couldn't even think whats happening .
What happened did he just approved me of crushing on another school guy?
Is he the real Jacob?
I open the door to see him standing there only.
" What?" He ask.
" Did you just.. just.. "
" Yeah I do support you, maybe noah is not like other guys. I have met him some times. He is not a playboy as much as I know so you can give him a chance. " He encourage me
" But why did you look mad when I said I have a crush on him?" I ask
He looks at me.
" That umm,, later we will talk.. for now just get ready... We are getting late" he push me .
" Wait, you are really not mad right. I can't do this if you are not with me" i said .
" I can never be mad at you , you know that princess Eve " he says in duh tone.
I hug him tightly and finally enter in bathroom to get ready for the party.
