“What? No... No I- Sometimes? Maybe. I don’t know. He’s kind of really pretty. But like, in a best friend way. Yeah.. Okay. Maybe sometimes I wonder what it’d be like if we dated. Or kissed or...something. But not too often. It kinda muddles with my head if I do that..”

[text]: i can’t tonight, tomorrow?

[text] You said tomorrow, yesterday.

[text] Is it so hard for you to clear one evening for me?

[text]: how drunk was i last night?

[text] You suggested I let you do body shots off of me. 

[text] And when I refused, you took your own shirt off and made everyone do them off of you instead. 

[ text: wrong number ]: Marley doesn’t mean a thing to me

[text] You know, I’ve been your best friend over thirteen years, and no matter what kind of arguments or fights we seemingly get ourselves into, I know deep down that neither of us really meant it.

[text] But knowing that this clearly wasn’t meant for me, and that it was probably in favor of another girl, has really upset me. 

[text] I know that the kiss we shared meant nothing, but thanks, Jake. Thanks a lot.

[ text ]: I see the way you look at him

[text] What about it? I thought we decided that we’d go our own ways on this? Friends turning into something more is always a bad idea? 

[delayed] [text] Can you tell me what we are? Because this game of ping pong is exhausting me.

[ text ]: Did you really think you mattered?

[text]  I thought I mattered enough... 

“You don’t have any right,” Marley started, turning her back on jake and running a hand through her hair. The very thought of him being near her, even now, was driving her crazy. Even more so now with the accusations he was throwing in her direction. “We’re just friends. And sure, maybe we could be friends that become more, but that has nothing to do with you. Nothing.” Inhaling, the brunette closed her eyes before turning back on her supposed best friend. 

“It could’ve been us, you know that right? you could’ve been the one holding my hand in the hallway, or taking me to breadstix. If you didn’t let your stupid ego get in the way.” Pushing him aside so that she could now pass out of the corner he had backed her into, Marley grabbed her bag from the floor and tossed it over her shoulder. “you don’t get to decide when you can and cannot just suddenly have feelings for me. That’s not fair.”
