I’m in love with my best friend
Recap:
As I reach the 100th page my eyes begin to grow heavy so I bookmark my page and close the book. I put it on the nightstand and lay down soon falling asleep to Alex typing on his computer.
-----
I wake up to the sound of my phone vibrating. I grab it so it doesn't wake Alex up. I get up and walk out the room and answer it.
"Hello?"
-"Hey did I wake you?"
"Oh hey Mason, its fine, how are you? Do you know when you are coming back?"
-"Uh, I need to talk to you about that. You see um I'm coming back but it's going to be a short trip because..."
"Did they relocate you again???"
-"Yeah, I'm moving to do Japan for a while. But I also have someone I want you to meet someone before we go to Japan."
"Someone? You found yourself a lover in Vietnam?"
-"No I actually met her back when I was in Brazil but we finally got in contact again. Uh, Eliza, I think I'm in love."
"How long have you known her?"
-"When we started talking was 3 years ago but we recently got in contact for 7 months."
"So you've been dating her for 7 months?"
-"Yeah she came to Vietnam 3 months ago to meet me and I can't help but love her."
"Well if she makes you happy I approve and she has to understand your work okay?"
-"Really?! Alright, thanks, Elly!!! I love you!!"
"I love you too Mason!! See you soon!!"
-"See you soon!!"
After that, he hung up and sighed as I walked back to the room. It was only 7 in the morning so I decided to go back to sleep for at least a few minutes more.

Since today is Saturday we all decided to go out and watch a movie. Since Alex is almost 17 we decided to take him out. You see his birthday is on a Tuesday which means its a school day plus it's Valentine's day. That day every different type of couple go out so we wanted to celebrate his birthday on 4 weekends leading up to his day. Today is the 3rd weekend.
Last two weekends we spent the day in his favorite places the pool at my house and the Valentine carnival. Today we are going to the movies to see one of his favorite TV show.
We talked to the manager about letting us do this and we managed to get her help. We had to decide on only one of three shows to put so we used Oh My Venus, Heirs, and The Good Doctor.
We stayed in the movies for the whole day and we're still not finished with The Good Doctor. It's closing time so we had to leave.

When we came back to school everything was normal. During lunch, Delilah out of nowhere asked:
"Where can I get my ears pierced?"
Olivia then smiled brightly "I know who to ask!!!"
"Really who??" I asked confused
"Well, Simon of course and guess what he owes me so he'll do it for free!!"
"Hmm, Simon that guy Ana is dating?" Alex asks as he is playing with my hand.
"Ana isn't dating him because she likes him she's using him to get what she wants from me!!" Olivia answers angrily. "Well anyways I'll schedule something for you, Delilah."
------
Today was really boring nothing seemed to happen.
-----
After I got home and showered Olivia called.
"Get yourself ready because Simon, Alex, Delilah, and I are coming to your house so she can get her ears pierced!!" She sounded so joyful saying this.
"Wait why my house?"
"Well, you don't have parent supervision there for most of the time!!"
"Well, at least Alex will be here with me." I sighed
"I have a question for you Eliza. Do you like Alex or Simon? I am getting confused I'm trying to set you up with someone when you already have your eyes on someone else or the opposite someone has their eyes on you"
"Okay I'll tell you but we have to dial Delilah too Alright?"
"Okay"
She dialed Delilah and it took at least 4 rings before she answered. "Wassup B**ches!!"
"Hey Delilah" we both answered.
"Okay back to business!! Who do you like Eliza?? Is it Alex or Simon?"
"Okay" I took a deep breath in and began talking. "Ever since Mason left Alex has always been by my side and protected me. I somehow managed to fall for him but I tried to keep it a secret. The day I decided to tell him at the beginning of Freshman year he told me he liked someone. I didn't believe him so I followed him and I saw him only talk to an upperclassman, a girl, her name is Juleka."
I sighed and finished my small story.
"Juleka would always flirt with Alex and Alex to her. I then realized he liked her. Ever since then I have hidden my feelings from him."
