"You sure you're ready?" He asked me with his hands ready on the steering wheel.

I shrugged and said, "I have no choice anyway." I then connected my phone to his car to play some music. It was going to be a long ride, so music would be a great company for us not to die out of boredom.

I clicked on Spotify and played Over and Over again by Nathan Sykes and Ariana Grande because it was my favorite song that moment. I love Ariana Grande and somehow Nathan's voice was perfect with hers. There were just too many things to love about the song that even Ed, my boyfriend, got the Last Song Syndrome when I played it to him over and over again.

Yeah, you saw what I did there.

Ed stepped into the breaks when the song started, and before we knew it, we were already miles away from home.

Ed and I were heading to our College which was three states away from our hometown. It was too far, but it was the school that I wanted to go to because my mother graduated there. I knew that there was a possibility of me getting homesick, but luckily Ed went there with me so he made everything better. Just being with him made me feel home.

I know. That was cheesy.

It was already a year since Ed and I had been in a relationship. Well, the process was a bit complicated. There were just too many things that we went through just for us to get to where we are now. But believe it or not, we were best friends since we were kids. But, oh no, girl best friend fell in love with guy best friend! Believe me. Even I thought that it was the end of our friendship. I tried giving up, tried accepting the fact that I was just his best friend, but my stupid heart was stubborn. Who would've thought? He fell in love with me too. So there we were, driving to Baron College of Arts, together.

I just hope college works great for us.

My phone beeped with my message tone Aurora. I took it out from my shoulder bag, opened the message and saw that it was a message from my dad.

Good luck, Sid. Take care of yourself.

"Who's it from?" Ed asked while driving. He glanced at me but I only glared at him because I hate it when he's not focused on driving. Accidents can happen, you know.

"Dad." I shrugged and placed my phone back on my bag. "Telling me to take care of myself." I snorted.

He nodded in understanding. "Is it still awkward?" He asked after a short pause. "Suddenly calling your teacher your dad, I mean?"

I paused for a second and tried to think about it. Was it awkward? Maybe, yeah. "A little bit." I said to him. "But I think I'm getting the hang of it. It's just weird that I used to call him Mr. Johnson, then suddenly I call him Dad."

"Yeah." He sighed. "I'll probably get the hang of it too once I get to call him dad as well." He joked with a huge grin on his face. I playfully slapped his shoulder and he mouthed and OUCH but I only laughed at him.

Maybe someday you do get to call him Dad, Ed. Maybe. Someday.

He coughed so I turned to look at him. "How about your best friend suddenly becoming your boyfriend? Is it weird?" He asked with curiosity. He stiffened a little, and honestly, it was cute.

I smirked and shrugged. "Not really. You're still annoying so nothing really changed." I joked at him. He faced me and glared at me. "I'm kidding!" I said with my hands up in the air.

He laughed. "I know." He said. "If I was annoying then you wouldn't have fallen in love with me." He wiggled his beautiful eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes. "First, eyes on the road. I don't want to end up on a hospital instead of a college dorm room." I said. He chuckled and followed what I said, returning his eyes on the road. "Second, you are annoying."

"Then you must've fallen in love with my great looks." He winked at me.

"See?" I held out my palm to make a point. "Annoying."

He pinched my cheeks and laughed so hard that he made a pig noise. I bursted out laughing when he did, because it was hilarious and cute at the same time. He kept on driving and we didn't talk after that but just sang on the top our lungs until we finally arrived at our destination.

"Good bye High School, and hello College." Ed announced as he stepped on the breaks.

"Um, Ed." I said. "I don't want to crush your hopes, but, they're not gonna answer." I joked.

He smirked. "Oh really? Good because you're not gonna answer either." He said.

I raise my eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean?" I asked. I have a mouth so how can I not answer?

He released his seatbelt and leaned to me. I already knew where it was going and my heart beat got faster than it ever did. He grinned first then said, "Because I'll do this."

He leaned forward and kissed me.

Even though we were already a year together,  we still act like we're best friends. That way, we barely fight and just tease each other. Unlike other couples, we don't kiss much often. We would just hold hands and lay on each other's arms. It was enough for us. Just being together was enough.

But every time we kiss, I get reminded that I was just once a best friend who was hopelessly in love with him, but now I'm his girlfriend. Every time we kiss, I get reminded that he was finally mine. Every time we kiss, I get reminded of everything that we have been through, but still managed to be string together.

But with the schedules and problems we had to face in college, I was afraid that we would break apart. I had been really nervous for the past few days. I already love Ed so much that I was afraid I'd lose him. It would already be bad to lose him as a boyfriend, but losing him as my best friend? It's my greatest fear.

We finally let go of our kiss, but Ed still didn't lean away and just let a few inches be the space of our faces. He was holding my cheeks. "I love you, Sid." He said.

"Forever?" I asked.

Ed smiled and gave me a quick kiss again. "Forever."

I hope so.
