~Isaiah's POV~

When Cara told us about her and Machenzy met... how her eyes lit up. Her and Machenzy are so...

happy.

I want that with Bailey. But she just sees me as a friend. It reminds of how we met. Kindergarten. She was so innocent. And adorable.. I know she didn't know any better... but I sure did.

~Ten Years Earlier~

It's been a few days since kinder started. My mom doesn't have a car so she signed me up to ride a bus. I sat in the back of the bus since that's where the cool kids sat.

Next to me, there was this girl. She had really poofy hair that was tied up in pig tails. She looks really pretty. All the girls are all over me except that weird, quiet girl who just reads all the time. Everyone thinks that she can't speak. She didn't like me like that. Her and... this girl. Maybe if I introduce myself, she'll see how handsome I am and love me! I tap on her shoulder and she looks at me with her big, brown eyes. "Hi! My name is Isaiah Jay Crimson!" She looked at me a bit confused but then she smiled at me. She has a really cute smile. "I'm Bailey!" I decide to go for the first move. "Wanna be my girlfriend?" Her smile drops and she just stares at me. She shakes her head. "No thank you. My mommy says I can't have a boyfriend until I'm 25. I can be your friend, though!" Hmm...

I'll take what I can get.

"Ok!" I smile brightly at her and we talk a bit once the bus starts moving. I can't help but glance at that strange girl once in a while. Is she... doing her homework??

Weirdo.

~Present time~

Machenzy walks through the door and she smiles at us. I swear I can see Cara drooling. They are so happy. But Bailey just sees me as just a friend. But I'm okay with that. I can't push anything.
