"Oliver, you gotta eat I don't care if you aren't hungry."
"Fine."
That's me and Koda, we're always hanging out. Eating lunch, at home, etc. He's always been here for me. No matter what it is. Whether my parents are fighting or my moms on a psychotic rage.
Though despite Koda being my bestfriend, and only friend I've been feeling something lately. Honestly ive been feeling some type of way that makes me wanna grab his face and kiss him, or possibly grab a hold of his hand. I'm not sure what it is of course. And I can't love him. He's my bestfriend. It would ruin our friendship, plus I like how we are now it's great. We're fine. Right?
Koda's POV
"Oliver! Let's be partners!"
"Sorry, I already-"
"Hey Oliver, let's be partners for our calc presentation"
"Sorry Miro..I'm already partners with-"
"He's partners with me."
What? I had to say it. Sure he was trying to say no but he was getting interrupted and in the end he'd never be able to say no. He seemed to be in a cluster of people trying to use him for grades anyway. Me and Oli have been friends for years! I have a right to say he's my partner without him confirming it. Besides, if he already had a partner he would tell me!
"How would you know? He didn't say yes"
I then told this random girl,
"He already asked me, besides he would tell me if he didn't want to. After all I am his bestfriend!"
Then I saw Miro, Oliver's sister..she's so strong..! Honestly I bet she would make a great wife! I was about to say something but when I saw her I forgot what I was going to say and said,
"Uh- oh! Were you gonna be his partner Miro? You are his sister after all, you can be it if you want"
"Step-sister. And no, she can't I already decided you'd be my partner. Plus, you just agreed to it."
Oliver had said.
He's so harsh to his step-sister. I can't pinpoint why but it must be something personal so I have to ask later when she's not around.
"Oh no worries Koda, I can find another partner. You two are just so adorable! Always hanging out. Man if our dads saw this they would ship it"
Miro had said. I then said,
"Ah! Well you know I don't like Oliver like that, we're just friends! He's my bestfriend after all."
Oliver then says in a very for some reason monotone voice,
"Yeah."
So then we all run off to our next classes. For some reason teachers and schools have always put me next to Oliver and in almost all his classes. Oliver says it might be the fact I don't pay attention enough and he just helps me with that fact. But do they not notice we're always with eachother and at one point we're gonna become little goofballs if put next to eachother? I guess not. I wonder if he requested it..
Well after that I went home to my 2 beloved dads! I love them. They adopted me when I was 3 when my original parents had died. I don't mind talking about them since I can't remember them. It hurts sure but it makes me remember them more, after all, I barely have anything to remember them by. I bet if they were still alive they would be great parents. But now I have my 2 dads! And I'm grateful for them as well, they give me more than I need.
Well anyways, I got home and noticed I had a text from Oliver saying his dad was fighting with his mom over the phone. Oliver's parents are divorced but he has a step-dad, which I call Elijah. He's pretty nice! I don't know about Oli's mom though, whenever he visits his mom he doesn't give much detail. One day I'm gonna come over there and meet her! I have to ask though. Every time I ask he avoids the question, which worries me. It just makes me wonder if theres more to the story.
Oliver's POV
I go home and my dads yelling on the phone. Of course, it's almost turned to every night now. I guess their fighting about whether I'm going to my moms place or not. Mine as well text Koda about it, he always makes me feel better anyway. I wonder personally how other people would feel in this situation. Would they care or am I just the cry baby who actually gets upset about it.
I usually get home go up to my room and start studying but today I'm just not feeling it, so of course I text Koda to see what's up. I wonder how he would feel. He'd probably say something about it if he could. Sure the guys short but he's kinda strong. You would be surprised to how many fights he gets in despite him being so happy all the time. Makes me wonder if it's fake or not sometimes. I hope not, the last thing I wanna see or hear is that my bestfriends under deep depression and I knew nothing about it.
"Oliver!! Miro!! Dinners ready!"
My step-dad yells,
"Coming Elijah!"
I yell back,
He seemed to have made some spicy rice and curry for dinner. It's pretty good, I wouldn't call Elijah a bad cook. He does it fresh instead of microwaving it. Even just using premade packets don't do it for him. One day I hope he teaches me the recipe, it's good enough for me to want to eat it for the rest of my life, though I could totally use a macaron recipe instead. Sure, I may be the one working at a bakery but we don't make macarons which suck but it pays good so I'll keep it at that, I bet they would be expensive as hell anyways.
Alright so I finish eating and do the dishes, I then go upstairs and study. Go over the notes we did, make sure there's nothing I left out, etc. Then I decided to go on Leio because why not, I mean the streamers on there are kinda entertaining. Though they can't drown out the sound of my dad yelling so it's useless to watch anyways. So then I decide to take a shower, you know do normal every night things. At least I hope people do this every night, otherwise that would be disgusting to not shower every night. Once I finish I just decide to organize my desk for the 7th time in a row.
"Just until dad is done yelling"
I tell myself, and close the door and sit on the bed. Turns out they kept going at it all night, I tried turning off the lights and going to sleep but nothing worked. So I just decided to text Koda. Knowing him he's probably still awake playing a game. I text him,
"Hey, wyd? Dads still fighting somehow. 😕"
He responds almost instantly saying
"Just watching an anime, how are they still fighting? Isn't it past midnight already?"
I say,
"Exactly so why aren't you asleep?"
"I'm okay! I can take care of myself. I should be the one who's worried, after all I do see you and your dad like family."
He responds.
I say
"Fine fine, whatever."
And we went on with our conversation til 5am. I woke up at 9am ended up being late but can you blame me when I have my dad yelling on the phone all night? Well whatever it is, the school doesn't care. I still got detention.
Oliver, a quiet boy at Suliven Bay High has a one sided love between him and his bestfriend named Koda, whos quite the peppy one. Along with his one sided love, his oblivious jealousy of his step-sister, Miro, who Koda seems to have fallen for.
