Hi guys, I'm not writing a romantic or fanfic story. This is based on true events, so please enjoy it and don't hate any character.
Liz was a 18-year-old girl who secretly loved her best friend, Oliver. They had been best friends since childhood, and Liz kept her feelings hidden because she believed Oliver would never feel the same.
On their first day at university
Liz: Oliver! We're going to be late!
Oliver (from his room): I'm coming—just wait!
Liz: I can't believe we're about to be late on our first day.
(Oliver's mom walks out of the kitchen.)
Oliver's Mom: Oliver, come eat something first.
Oliver: I can't, Mom. We're already running late. I'll grab something at the cafeteria.
Liz: At least eat a little.
Oliver: Weren't you the one panicking two minutes ago?
Liz: I still am—but you need food.
Oliver: Wow… since when did you turn into my grandma?
(He grabs a few cookies.)
Oliver's Mom (smiling): Only Liz can deal with you.
On the way
Liz: Cookies for breakfast? Seriously?
Oliver: Relax, I'll survive.
Liz: Barely.
Oliver: You worry too much.
Liz(looking at her) : And you don't worry at all.
At the university – inside the classroom
Oliver: Made it. That was close.
Liz: See? We're fine.
(Oliver glances across the room.)
Oliver: Hey… look at her.
Liz: Don't stare like that.
Oliver: What? She's really pretty.
Liz: She also has a boyfriend, by the way.
Oliver: So?
Liz: So… remember last time?
Oliver: That was different.
Liz: Yeah, you still got beat up.
Oliver: He was older! I was being respectful.
Liz (laughing): Sure you were.
(They keep teasing each other.)
A new girl walks in
Oliver (quietly): Okay… now she's really pretty.
Liz (trying to sound casual): She's alright.
Oliver: "Alright"? You're jealous.
Liz: I'm not jealous.
Oliver: You totally are.
Liz: I'm not your girlfriend, Oliver. Why would I be jealous?
Oliver (smirking): That didn't sound convincing.
Liz: Drop it.
Oliver: Fine, fine.
(The teacher walks in and starts the lecture.)
After class – cafeteria
Liz: I'm exhausted already.
Oliver: One lecture and I'm done for the day.
Liz: Same.
(A girl approaches them.)
Mia: Hey, do you mind if I sit here?
Liz: Not at all.
Mia: Thanks. I'm Mia.
Oliver (under his breath): Nice…
Liz: I'm Liz, and this is Oliver… also known as Grandpa.
Oliver: Okay, that nickname needs to stop.
Mia (laughing): You two are hilarious.
Oliver (a bit shy): We try.
(They continue talking, getting to know each other.)
After finishing all the lectures:
Liz: I can't believe we actually survived all those lectures.
Oliver: My mom's gonna be so happy to see me in one piece
Mia: Ugh… I'm exhausted.
Oliver (looking at her): Hey, Mia, are you free today? We're thinking of grabbing dinner.
Liz: Wait… we are?
Oliver (giving Liz a pleading look): Aren't we, Liz?
Liz (hiding her emotions, forcing a smile): Oh… right, I totally forgot about that.
Mia: Sure, why not.
Oliver: Awesome! Let's swap numbers.
After exchanging numbers, Mia heads toward her car.
Liz (watching her leave): So… you like her, huh?
Oliver (blushing, looking away): I… I don't know.
Liz (trying to sound casual): Alright… let's just head home. I'm tired .
Oliver: Yeah… let's go.
