Mr. Frederick was walking back and forth with his thumb under his chin, while listening to the song that I wrote the night before. Ed was beside me and Kevin was on the couch behind his father, listening to the song as well.

It was entitled, He Will Never Know. I guess it's pretty obvious who's it for.

Last night, when I finished writing the song witthin an hour, I asked Ed to record the song with me. I sang to him while showing him the lyrics, so that he would know the tune of the song, and he ended up liking it. But I almost got busted.

"Where did you get this idea?" He asked.

"What?" I asked like I didn't know what he was talking about. Inside me? I wanted to run.

"I mean, who is it for? Who will never know?" He leaned closer. "Do you have a crush Sidney? And you never told me?" He raised his beautiful, magical, wonderful eyebrow.

I bit my lip. Think. Think. Think. I took a deep breath. "It isn't about me, or anyone you know." I said and it caused Ed to raise his eyebrow even more. He looked hilarious, but I couldn't handle a laugh in the middle of my nervousness. "It's from a book that I read. She liked him, he doesn't know, and never will."

Ed nodded in understanding. I was about to sigh in relief, but Ed asked another question. "What book? I have to read it. If it made you write a song about it, then it must've been a great one."

I couldn't see myself right that moment, but I swear I was sweating. "I... I forgot." I reasoned.

Ed shook his head. "You can't possibly forget it. You just wrote an awesome song about it!" He exclaimed.

I blurted an awkward laugh. "I guess I'm just forgetful today."

Ed just shrugged and didn't press on. I was thankful because if he kept on asking, I would've told him that the song was really about him.

The song ended and Mr. Frederick faced me with a serious face. His eyes were intimidating in a way that it made me want to run away.

My heartbeat got faster and faster. I tried to look around so I would calm down. I looked at the orange walls, the huge chandelier (I think I can ride and swing on it then it would be like a music video of wrecking ball and chandelier combined into one), the leather sofa, the wooden chair that looked so uncomfortable to sit on, the records framed and hung on the wall, and the pictures of Kevin with huge celebrities like Taylor Swift, James Taylor, and Mick Jagger.

I didn't get nervous for a moment. I wondered what Kevin felt when he had the chance to hang out with those celebrities. It was probably amazing.

I wondered why he chose to go on our school when he can travel the world and become an international heartthrob. He could be the next Justin Beiber if he wanted to.

"So..." Mr. Frederick said, and it immediately caught my attention. "About your song." He said.

My chest started pumping so hard. "How was it?" I asked and bit my lip. My body was going so crazy that I couldn't think of anything to make it crazier.

Because of my nervousness, I couldn't even remember where I live, where I go to school, and where my phone was. Everything inside my mind went blank and focused on this moment. I was sure nothing could make my body go any crazier.

I was wrong, my body found a way. It got crazier than ever when I felt Ed's hand slipping into mine. He held my hand tightly, probably to cheer me up or lessen my nervousness. To him, it was just a friendly thing to do. To me, it caused every nerve on my body go wild.

Why does this feeling occur to someone when they're feeling in love?

Mr. Frederick walked closer. He probably took his extra serious mask today, because honestly, I don't know how that kind of face could even smile.

But he did.

His lips grew wide that it showed his golden tooth. I was surprised, and it seemed like so was Ed because his grip on my hand loosened a bit.

"Well, Ms. Stewart," he started. My heart was probably trying not to burst out of my chest.

He laughed, and it almost caught me off guard. "This is gonna be a hit!" He happily screamed and it startled me for a second.

A wash of relief flooded over me. Ed grabbed my shoulders and hugged me tight. It was a moment of shock and I just stood there without any idea what to do next. But then I got an idea and just smiled and hugged him back.

"I knew you'd rock it." He said and let go of me. Gosh, how I wanted it to just stay like that. "I told you, you were a great song writer. High five!" He placed his hand up and the air, and I slapped it with my own hand.

We laughed with Mr. Frederick, then he shook my hand and congratulated me. Then, he floooded me with complements, and my happiness just couldn't get any stronger.

Kevin walked towards us and congratulated me. "Congrats Sidney. I knew you could do it. You were just indenial yesterday when we were together. When we were both wet under the rain." He chuckled and hugged me.

I was surprised that he hugged me. I knew it was just a friendly hug, but you don't just hug someone when you only got to know her for a day. Oh wait, right. He helped me when I was alone in the rain and he treated me to a fancy restaurant that I've never been in.

He let go and faced me with a congratulatory smile. If that even exists.

Ed moved his face close to my ear. "You were with him? And you were both wet?" Ed asked.

Right. I never told him about yesterday.

"I'll explain later." I told him, and he nodded (well first he hesitated, but he had no choice so yeah).

"Sidney." Mr. Frederick called. "Can we meet again next month? I have to fly to Mexico tomorrow and I won't be back til next month. Is that okay with you?" He asked.

I nodded immediately. "Of course! Mr. Tott." I said.

He shook my hand and congratulated me, again. "I guess that's just it for now. See you in next month." He said and left the studio.

I turned to Ed and hugged him tight again. "Oh my gosh, Ed. I'm so happy." I honestly said. My heart was just full of joy.

I felt Ed's head noddding. "I'm happy for you too." He said and we let go. "We have to celebrate."

I nodded. "Absolutely." I grinned. "Your treat, right?"

"What?!" He groaned, but he slumped in defeat. "Fine. Let's go." He grabbed my arm and started dragging me out but Kevin called my name.

"Sidney." He called.

I loosened my hand from Ed and turned to face him. "Yeah?"

He scratched the back of his neck. "Umm, would you like to, you know? Have dinner? Like yesterday?" He asked shyly. I never thought that a son of a famous record producer would be shy.

"I would love to, Kevin." I said. "But Ed and I already had plans for the day."

Kevin looked disappointed. I felt guilty. But, I couldn't turn down Ed for Kevin. Ed is my best friend. Even though it will always just going to be like that.

"Oh, okay. Have fun!" He simply said the walked away.

"I don't think he really meant that." Ed said and I gave him a confused look. "You know, for us to have fun? I think you hurted him." He shrugged. I gave him a threatening look, and he looked away. "I hate that look!" He grunted. "Let's go." He said.

"Where?" I asked while he was dragging my arm.

"Guess where."

"6th grade?" I asked, almost jumping for joy.

He nodded. "Yeah. 6th grade."

...

Back in sixth grade, there was this guy who always made fun of me. His name was Jonathan. He would put grabages on my backpack, throw wilted leaves on my hair, blame me for his mistakes in class, and worst, he poured ketchup all over my hair.

If I say the word bully, you probably already have someone popping on your mind. Maybe not one person, but many. To me? When I hear that word, only one person invades my mind.

Jonathan Nicks.

I mean, sure, he's hot. But he has the worst attitude on earth, that's for sure.

One time, I was at the cafeteria eating my lunch with Ed, when something sticky and smelly started dripping on my hair. At first, I was too shocked to move. When I did, I saw the no other than evil and cruel Jonathan Nicks grinning down at me.

You might ask, "Why didn't you report him to the teachers?" Oh I did. Plenty of times. But since his father donated like half of the school, he could make it look like it was all my fault.

So anyway, when he poured ketchup all over my head, I cried. I cried so hard, everybody was laughing at me. Imagine a small girl with ketchup dripping all over her head, wouldn't you laugh?

So, Ed being my best friend, he talked to Jonathan. I had no idea what he told him, but somehow he made him feel guilty.

Unbelievably, Jonathan moved to Mississippi the following year.

And yes, I did beg Ed to tell me how he did it, but he said that Jonathan made him promise not to tell anyone. So, I didn't press on. I don't ever want Jonathan coming back.

Now back to MY story.

With my head looking like a ketchup bottle just pooped on me, I couldn't possibly go anywhere after that. So, I skipped class, and so did Ed.

We both walked home (and believe me it's like everyone was staring at me, even the pigeons looked like they were thinking "Hey! Look at that kid. Did my sister had her period and pooped on her?"), and I couldn't be happier that Ed stood by my side the whole time.

When I got home, I took a bath, of course. When I was done, I still wasn't feeling any much better. Ed had this idea that if he would treat me food, I would get happy.

Well, mother of all food, he was right.

He took me to this diner called, "Amelia's Diner" and he ordered me like 5 different kinds of food just to make me forget what happened.

Of course, I acted happy and everything (which was true), but I almost ran and cried when I saw the ketchup on my table. I just had a trauma, what did you expect?

But Ed comforted me and said Jonathan won't bully me anymore. Him saying that somehow convinced me. I forgot about the incident after that.

So, whenever something bad happens or we need to celebrate, we go here and have atleast 5 or 6 meals to dig in. There was corned beef, pancakes, hamburger, pasta, and his favorite (fine! Mine as well), pizza. Then we would order bottomless drinks and just get drunk with coke or sprite.

So I guess now you know why I get all excited for this place. Who wouldn't get excited if someone buys you free food, and not just one but six different kinds!

We walked inside of the diner and sat on our usual table right at the corner. Table no. 7. Ms. Amelia then walked towards our table to get our orders.

"Hey! Sidney and Ed. How are my two favorite couples?" She said with a wide smile that was so wide, you could clearly see her gold canine tooth (is golden tooth the thing right now?).

I sighed. "Again, Ms. Amelia. We're not a couple." I cleared out, holding my self from ripping my hair off.

She giggled. "I just like teasing you, cupcake. Your reactions are always cuter than my slices of ham!" She laughed. "So, the usual order?"

"Yes." Ed said. "But you know, if five isn't enough for Sidney's stomach, we could always order more."

I nudged my elbow to his ribs. Oh, to his abs I mean. "Ouch!" Ed grunted, though I could tell it was fake. "You're getting stronger, Sid. Must be the fats?" He joked then laughed crazily.

Ms. Amelia was laughing like a lunatic as well. "Oh you two are so cuuuute!" She said.

I ignored both of their statements and looked at Ms. Amelia with an innocent face. "Uh, yes. The usual." I said and smiled.

She chuckled. "Okie dokie then!" She said and left the table towards the kitchen while dancing to the Ariana Grande song playing on the jukebox (Who knew Problem by Ariana would be playing on a jukebox?).

"You wanna know what you look like when you dance?" Ed asked.

I turned to face him. "Why? What do I look like?" I asked, just playing with his jokes because what the hell, I should be happy today.

He pointed at Ms. Amelia. "Like that." He said.

I slapped his hand. "Just kidding." He said and started laughing again. It's official. It's laugh-like-a-lunatic-for-no-reason day. "You are a crazy dancer. In a good way. Actually you're a great dancer."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

We kept on joking with each other after that. I actually thought he already forgot that Kevin and I were together the day before, but my hopes were drowned in Niagara Falls.

"So, you and Kevin were together yesterday? Why didn't I know this?" Ed asked with his serious face.

His eyebrows were all scrunched up, his lips were half open, his body was leaning and facing towards me, and his amazing blue eyes were locked into mine.

I didn't have a choice, so I told him everything.

"It seemed to me like it wasn't a coincidence that he saw you alone in the street." He suspected. "And Sidney, I'm really really sorry that you had to walk alone in the rain because of me. I had no idea that you didn't have lunch with Hayley."

His apology made my heart feel weird but wonderful things. And I loved it. "It's okay. I'm not mad. You're just being helpful so you helped Aubrey. And you like her so I knew that you had to." I said. "Oh, and I don't think that it wasn't a coincidence. There's no reason for him to follow me."

"Whatever you say." He said.

A few minutes later, our food arrived and of course I dug in. Trust me, their food is the best! Cheap price but great quality. Well not the quality of the place because it looked like it could fall apart any minute.

But I like eating on this place. It takes my mind away from the real world for a while. Ms. Amelia is so nice, you could talk to her all day. And Ed being with me here makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.

If I get to choose between the fancy restauran Kevin took me to yesterday and this rustly old diner with Ed, I would definitely pick this. (And no, not just because it's with Ed.)

...

Three weeks until prom.

"Hey." Kevin greeted as I was placing my books on my locker. He was resting his shoulder on the locker beside mine and he was facing me with his usual smirk.

The past week, Kevin had been flooding me with text messages like Hi, Goodmorning, and Keep Safe. I was starting to wonder why. I even suspected that Hayley was behind all of this, but then again I've never seen them hang out together so it seemed a little bit impossible.

I hate to admit it, but Kevin and I aren't just strangers to each other anymore.

Whenever Ed was with me and he would notice me checking my phone like every minute, he would ask who was it, then I would say Kevin, then he wouldn't talk to me for about half an hour.

I guess somebody's just being a jealous best friend.

Whenever Ed and I would hang out together (which is like, everyday), there's always that time of the day that Aubrey would butt in and ask Ed to hang out with her. Ofcourse he couldn't say no. Then, when he would come by my house at night, I would act bitchy towards him.

I guess somebody's just being a jealous best friend who's inlove with that best friend.

Kevin was looking at me funny, and I started to wonder why. Then I remembered that I didn't greet him back. "Oh, hello." I said.

He giggled (wait, do guys giggle?). "You seemed deep in your thoughts. Are you okay?" He asked.

I immediately nodded my head. "Yes. Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I said, though I think that it just made me look guilty about something. Oh, I am not! What? Of course it's not because Ed is always with Aubrey now. Well, maybe. But no.

"Uhuh." He shook his head and tsked like he was disapponted. "Whatever. So hey, wanna have dinner tonight at my house? It's my older sister's birthday, and mom and dad is hosting this party with all his recording artists and co-workers. You want to come?"

Okay, maybe it's bad to think like this, but was he just bribing me? Like if he said that famous singers will be there, I would come? For me, it sounded like an insult.

I was about to say no, but then I saw Ed and Aubrey passed by the hall, laughing. It made my heart break into peices, again. Before, everyday, we were together. Now, she's always with Aubrey, I'm always with Kevin.

If I try to look at it, we're slowly breaking apart.

Wait, no. He still hangs out at my house every night, and everything just seems fine. We just lack time to be together during mornings because of Aubrey and Kevin, but we are definitely NOT breaking apart.

That could never happen. I'm forever his best friend.

"Sure, I'll come." I said to Kevin. Ed did say yesterday that Aubrey and him would watch a movie, so I'd rather go with Kevin than lay in bed all night and think about them sharing a popcorn at the theatre.

Plus, Ryan Tedder, Ed's idol will probably be there, so I can maybe get him an autograph.

"Let's go?" I suggested, he nodded in agreement. I took out my books from my locker, then Kevin inmediately took it from my hand and carried it for me. Then, he walked me to class.

Hey hey hey :)

Okay I got nothing to say, so bye!
