Flashback

Me and josh walk into the dance arm and arm, they actually made our nasty gym look amazing.

Tonight is going to be amazing.

"You want some punch?" Josh ask me

"Sure" I smile

We walk over to the punch table, Josh makes me a cup.

"My lady" he laughs

"Why thank you" I giggle as I take the cup

"I bet they had to use a lot of spray to make it not smell like old socks in here" Josh laughs

"Yeah who knew our gym could actually look this good"

Should I ask him to dance? Would that be weird? Friends dance right?

"Um uh Josh?" I say timidly

"Yes" he smirks

"Would you uh like to dance" i ask quickly

"Well I'm not much of a dancer I have two left feet" he laughs

"O okay" I say a little disappointed

"But for you I'll try" he says grabbing my hand and leading me to the dance floor

"What do you" I say not knowing how to dance

"I think you put your hands around my neck and I'll put mine on your hips" he says I nod

I try not blush when I feel Josh hands on my hips .

We start swaying neither one of us know what we are doing.

"Ow" I say as Josh steps on my toes

"Told you" he smiles sheepishly

"It's okay" I tell him

"Here" he takes my hand and I do a little twirl

"You having fun" Josh asks

"Yeah I am. Are you?" I ask

"Yeah I actually am"

The song ends unfortunately.

"Hey let me go say hi to the guys" Josh says spotting Caleb and Todd

"Okay" I say

I go walk over to Kayla who sitting at one of the tables with her date.

"Hey" I great

"Hi!" she says like she's never been more happy to see me

"Do you mined if I sit?" I ask

"No no no please do" she begs

"Um can you go get us some drinks" she asks her date

"Sure" he stands up and walks to the Punch table

"Not going well" I ask

She just gives me a look.

"I'm going to take that as a no" I laugh

"So I saw you and josh dancing" Kayla squeals

"I know" I squeal back

"I really like him Kayla" I sigh

"Then tell him" she says

"Hey girls" ally says walking over to us "you actually came Elena" she says surprised

"And her date is Josh" Kayla smirks at her

"I heard that he just drove you?" Ally says

"Well he did and we danced and also got punch" I mumble

"So basically they came together" Kayla smiles

"I don't think that's how it works" ally says

I'm about to say something but Tiffany calls ally name

"Got to go" she waves goodbye and walks over to Tiffany

"When did they become friends?" Kayla asks me

"Who knows" I shake my head

"Don't listen to ally okay if you really like Josh and you want to tell him you should" Kayla smiles

I look over to see him talking to Caleb.

"Okay wish me luck" I say she gives me a thumbs up

I walk over to Josh and tap him on the shoulder.

"Hey" he turns around and smiles at me

"Hey can I talk to you?" I ask

Caleb looks at me confused.

"Yeah" he leads me out to the hallway

"Soo" he says once we are alone

"We have known each other a long time" I say not knowing where to start

"Yeah I thought you looked familiar" he laughs

I laugh nervously.

"Are you okay?" He says worried

"I need to tell you something" I bite my lip

"You can tell me anything" he puts a hand on my shoulder

"I love you" I breath out

He looks at me like that's it "I love you too" he laughs

"No no not in that way I've been in love with you since the first day I saw you I was always to scared to say anything" I finally look at him

He looks shocked almost like he doesn't know what to say.

"Please say something" I whisper

"I didn't know that you felt that way" he says

"Yes I thought maybe you felt the same way" I say hopeful

"Why would you think that?" He say curiously

"Because you always been there for me and you listen and you took me to this dance and" I stop talking hoping he will say something

"Because we are friends" he says slowly

"You don't want to be anything more" I say hoping he will say yes

"No I'm sorry but your like a little sister to me" he says he try's to put a hand on my shoulder but I move away from his touch

"So you won't ever feel that way for me" I say on the verge of tears

"I'm sorry" he says looking at his feet

Tears start streaming down my face.

"So you don't love me in that way" I say mostly to myself

"No" he shakes his head

I turn to walk away .

"Please don't go we can still have a good night" I hear him say

I shake my head because not being able to mutter a word I run to the bathroom and lock myself in a stall and cry.
