      ♡✿♡ARIANA'S POV♡✿♡

"Cole and Nicole are back!" Someone in the hallway yelled. It was like music to my ears. Cole was back. He meant a lot to me. We've been friends for seventeen years, from the days we used to wear diapers, and crawl with our little hands. A friendship I thought would never end.

A smile came up at the corner of my lips, later it became a full grin of excitement, excitement that disappeared as soon I remembered Nicole was there too. Nicole, she never liked me. Seventeen years had passed by, and she still treats me like trash.

It was evident that she got irritated at the sight of me, but that didn't matter. The person I've been waiting to see was back. He travelled to England for some family issues that I prayed for to be sorted as soon as possible so he could return to school.

My legs took control and moved out of the chemistry lab forgetting about the group project and practically leaving Eva and Carver alone. Selena, she  always looked for ways to annoy me. The Yates were close family friends with her family. They were also big time business partners or whatever I didn't know much about business stuff.

Cole was her friend too, he adored Selena, I think. He never saw anything bad in her that was because whenever he was there she acted as polite as possible. She had this huge thing for him. Selena would kiss the Janitor's butt for Cole and there was me who would do much more for him. Cole was much more than a best friend, he was like a big brother I never had, he protected me and encouraged me all the time other than that he was someone I hope to spend the rest of my life with.

It had been so long since I felt that way. Ten years, it's been ten years since I developed these weird feelings towards him and  I couldn't tell if he ever saw it in my eyes, the longing to be closer to him. The glimmer and shimmer in my eyes, the tingling excitement in my voice. The red spots on my cheeks whenever he gets all cute in front of me. The way I do everything to please him like a fool in love. Ten years of waiting and never giving up. My sisters knew about it, Melanie too later Selena and her friends knew it too, that was another reason for them to loathe my existence.

Everytime Selena would stylishly remind me in her way that she was the better match which I totally disagreed with. I knew everything about Cole. In my sleep I could state his likes and dislikes, his hobbies, his favorite movies, whether he prefers marvel or DC, his favorite soccer club and more. She knew nothing about him, and keeps making errors when it came to things like that. For someone who came along the way she wasn't fit for him.

My older sister, Heather was dating the oldest Yate sibling, Cole's older brother, Kyle. He was as sweet as Cole. He always bought me stuff whenever he came by. I couldn't wait to see them. Selena and her minions walked past me. I really wished Melanie was there with me.

Cole's part of the school's soccer team so the team and a few cheerleaders were there to welcome them. Nicole was in charge of the cheerleading team as all except Melanie and I  believed she exhibited true school spirit. If that was so she should have been Pablo, our dearest school's mascot because I believe those who show actual school spirit are best for mascots.

The soccer boys wore their green and white jackets with their numbers at the back while the girls packed their hair ponytail style wearing their green and white sleeveless tops and  short flay skirts barely making it's way past half their thighs and cute white tennis shoes throwing their green pompoms. I know it seems weird that they're doing this to welcome students, but Cole's family donates a lot to the school. Principal  Will loves them so much she'd literally kiss their feet. After all, they did make millions every year.

We were all waiting for them to get out of the principal's office to surprise them. The principal's office creaked open and black Nike boots on white legs were seen, Nicole. She stepped out, her black hair was now dyed brown. Her faces was well dolled with make up. Cladded in a black leather jacket and leather skirt, she looked all chic. The girls screamed and Nicole squealed with excitement as she hugged them all.

My heart felt like it stopped seeing Cole step out. He looked so cool, wearing Nike sneakers and a leather jacket over a grey polo shirt with dark jeans, his eyes looked beautiful, his nose and lips everything about him made me adore him. His height of 6'2 completed his physique as a good looking teenager.  I barely made it to his shoulder that was how short I was next to him.

"Cole !" Selena called loudly as she crashed her body into him, hugging him tightly. I was too slack I should have been the one hugging Cole. I was the one who ought to cling to him like that not her. My heart sank when he hugged her too. Was I invisible? He didn't look towards my direction at all. The boys welcomed him with fist bumps, bro hugs and handshakes, and I watched Selena link her arms with his saying hi to everyone like they were an item. Imaginary smoke came out of my nostrils.

"Don't worry you're better than her." Melanie said from behind me.

"Chill Ari. You look like rising red coloured dough." She added and a small laugh escaped my lungs.

"Whatever."

"Let's go." I sighed.

"No, let's go meet him." Melanie nudged me.

"I'm not going to. He didn't even look my way."

"Ugh, Ari don't be this way right now. You're standing behind tall huge soccer players, you're standing far from him. This isn't some cliche novel where the dude steps out and looks at you  and then boom you guys make out or whatever. He's our friend, he wouldn't ignore us like that would he?"

"I don't know. Don't smack me cause I can totally see your left hand up." I replied indifferently.

"Fine. Stand here. I'll go say hi to him on own my own. Egocentric witch. Just admit you're jealous because he's letting Selena cling to him like an ant on Candy."

"I'm not jealous." I rolled my eyes.

"Suit yourself." Melanie shrugged leaving me alone to say to him. Selena glared at her but she didn't care. Cole unlinked his arm with Selena's to hug Melanie.

I was happy seeing that donkey; Selena look upset. It was my cue to get her even more upset. I joyfully took big steps to him when I tripped. Someone put their foot in the way!! I thought I was going to hit my head on the floor when someone broke my fall, hoisting me up by holding my hand. If that person didn't I would have hit my head on the floor right in front of Cole. I cussed, it was embarrassing.
