"Since you've been around I smile a lot more than I used to."

Ryan Allen

A smile lightened up my entire face the moment I noticed my phone buzzed, knowing exactly who that would be.

This gorgeous golden haired boy with his two deep blue eyes where I wanted to spend the rest of my time with, drowning into its warmth and comfort. In those never ending eyes was a place full with the bright shining stars and clashing cold oceans.

Ever since the moment I met him, I couldn't stop thinking about him.

Jack..

Jack
By any chance, are you free on saturday? :p | 1:23 P.M.

Ryan
Maybe I am, maybe not ;) you should convince me first. Who knows maybe I'll cancel my plans for you. | 1:24 P.M.

Jack
I want to go swimming, just like I promised you to. | 1:24 P.M.

And yes, as a date. Do you want that, a date? With me? | 1:24 P.M.

Did he just ask me out on a date? Does he like me back? Or does he just see me as his friend?

Argh my mind was going crazy!

My heart was beating heavily against my chest like music and my hands were shaking from adrenaline. The happiness that was bubbling inside of me was indescribable as I mentally did a happy dance, almost as if it was a dream. And I almost dropped my phone, just from seeing that message.

What did this all mean? What was happening to me?

I was swimming so deeply into my thoughts, I completely forgot to reply to Jack.

Jack
Ryan? It's fine, I understand it. We can go as friends too? | 1:30 P.M.

Ryan
Who said I wanted to go as friends? :) | 1:30 P.M.

Pick me up at Saturday, 1 P.M! | 1:30 P.M.

Jack
That's a date! | 1:30 P.M.

"Who are you texting with?" Matthew grinned, watching me with his curious light eyes.

"Oh.. Nobody.." I looked up from my phone and tried not to blush.

I can't believe I got a date!

And with someone so beautiful and nice! That's literally the total boy package!

"It's that boy huh?" Matthew guessed somehow. "Oh damn, it really is! Tell me, who is he?!" He gasped, watching my face all curious as he smiled like a little kid.

"You don't know him okay!" I laughed it off, knowing I couldn't tell him.

Matthew was my best friend for such a long time and I really didn't want to be on his list of people that hurt him. Many people hurt him and he wouldn't take it well if he knew I was about to go on a date with his ex best friend. Things didn't end well between them even though I never knew what that was about.

And of course it hurt me that I didn't tell him anything about this, because everyone would love to tell their best friend about someone they might like.

A crush.

"But why won't you tell me anything? At least tell me how he looks like or how you two met!" He frowned at me, crossing his arms stern.

He had a point.. It wouldn't hurt, telling small details, right?

"Okay fine! I met him here in the hallways.. I couldn't react my book so he helped me and we had a small talk. Not long after that I saw him coincidentally in the Starbucks. He bumped into me and spilled his drink on me. He offered to buy me a drink so we sat down and talked more to get to know each other. Then he wanted to hang out with me the next day! That day we went to a beautiful location Matthew! Oh man he is so sweet! And from the exact moment we met, we just clicked like a puzzle" I smiled wide throughout telling the entire story, I could feel my own feelings happy lifting up in the air.

"Wow! You did all of that with him? Telling me?! Are you insane, I'm your best friends!" He laughed and pushed me soft. "My best friend is in looohhoooveeeee!" He sang happily.

"N-no no! I only know him for a couple weeks now!" I blushed, not daring to look in his eyes because he was my best friend after all.

He would have looked right through me.

"How does he look like?! He better doesn't have a police report! I want a good boy for my little Ry!" He grinned, smirking cheekily.

"Maaaatt!" I whined, feeling myself getting more flustered.

I smiled while thinking about Jack again. My mind always had its way to back to him.

Was it weird?

I didn't know him for that long yet I felt like I knew him for eternity. I only felt stronger with him, his eyes were piercing through my soul and his presence made me feel happy. I was careless about any worries.

Okay.. I admit.. I was really forming a crush here..

"I don't know who that boy is, but he must be doing a very great job. You are so happy! You really look like you're dancing with the stars Ry.." He smiled, watching my face.

Maybe I was dance with a star.

"You know stars have always been my thing" I smiled at him, thinking of that one star.

A star named Jack.
