My BGF

She was walking through the halls of a now abandoned school. Knowing that at 8:00 tomorrow morning it would be flooded with people yet again, but for now it remains empty.

Her steps echo off the poster covered walls as she walks to her locker, for she had to stay after to work on a project. A few more feet away from her locker, she notices a piece of paper attached to the green painted locker. She takes it down. The front had her name on it, “Lexie”. She quickly unfolds it to find the words written on the inside. It read,

“Please meet me in the park after school

-BGF”

The note had been from her best friend, Jack. They always signed their notes with BGF. His stood for Best Guy Friend, and hers stood for Best Gal Friend since they weren’t dating, just friends.

Anyways, for the longest time Lexie had wanted to be more than just friends, and dolled herself up whenever she was going to see him, so, everyday. This was good because that meant she could go see him right away. She was already late.

Lexie walked the two blocks to the park to find Jack sitting on the bench.

“Hey”, he says.

“Hey”, she responds. The two sat in an awkward silence, at least until it had started to rain. Jack grabbed Lexie’s arm, and ran with her to the underside of a tree. They were both laughing. Suddenly Jack says something.

“I know this is kind of random, but…” he pulls out a small black box from his sweatshirt pocket. “Will you be my girlfriend, not just my gal friend?” he bit his bottom lip as he opened the box to reveal a beautiful charm bracelet. It had a crescent moon, a star, a peace sign, a smiley face, and a heart. Lexie stated at the different charms. Finally she looks up, and says with a huge smile on her face,

“Yes!” she doesn’t even try to hide the relief in her voice. Jack slips the bracelet onto Lexie’s wrist. “Thank you. I was starting to think you wouldn’t ask me.” They both laughed.

The End
