1 Prologue

Can someone fall in love with their best friends?

This question kept resounding in my head.

I'm not really sure how I feel about her.

Is it love?

Or am I just mistaken this feeling with love, just because we are really close?

So close that even some people thought that we are sisters, like twins.

So close that even we can fool everyone around us that we are couple.

** Flashback **

"Rosie.. A guy and some girls want me to give these letters to you." I handed her a few letters from her fans as I sat next to her.

"Just throw them to the trash can, Lili, I don't want to read them." She responded without looking at me since she was busy drawing something on a paper.

"Just give them respond, Rosie.. Tell them to fuck off or something." I chuckled as I said it, trying to get her attention, "I'm tired being a delivery girl, you know?"

I succeeded, she finally turned her eyes at me, "Then why can't you refuse to help them, Lili?" she rose her eyebrows.

"I can't do that when they give me their puppy eyes."

"I'm tired of getting all these letters too. Why can't they just leave me alone?" she frowned, putting down her color pencil on her desk.

"Then stop being pretty, Rosie.." I grinned as I pinched her chubby cheeks while she groaned in annoyance, trying to let go of my hands,

"Or.." I hang my word as I pulled my hands away and stared at her deeply, while she just furrowed her eyebrows, waiting for me to finish my sentence,

"try to find a boyfriend or girlfriend. I believe they will stop disturbing you." I wiggled my eyebrows, thinking that it was a good idea.

Then I saw her widen her eyes while gripping my arm, "That's a good idea and you just give me another great idea too, Lili!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay.. I'm glad to hear that.. so what is it?" I asked her with the same excitement in my voice

"Lalisa Manoban, let's be a couple!"

"Wh... what???" I jolted from my chair as I asked with surprise evident in my voice.

"Let's pretend to be a couple, Lili. Will you help me?"

I just sat on my chair, being dumbfounded by her request and her question. She stood up from her chair then stood in front of me, with her hand tugging mine.

"Lili.. please?" I looked up at her just to see her giving me her puppy eyes, "I don't want to be in relationship now, Lili. I don't want to have boyfriend or girlfriend. But I want them to stop disturbing me desperately."

"Rosie.." I didn't know how to respond to her.

"Lili.. We're just pretending. They will never know since we are really close. They will believe us. I guarantee." She whined, stating her opinion.

"But Rosie.." I was trying to voice my opinion, "still it means.. we need to act like a couple.."

"I don't mind because it is you. Because I'm doing it with you." She said as she gave me reassuring smile.

"So..?" she asked me back after I stayed quiet for a minute.

"Alright.." I let out a sigh as I said it, "I'll do it for you."

"Yes! Thank you, Lili!"

And the next thing I knew after she said it was my heart skipped a beat as I felt her warm lips touch my cheek.

** End of Flashback **

I'm not sure about my feeling toward her. Because we've been friends since we were small, since we first had our elementary school day. And our house just one block away from each other.

Rosie is pretty. I admitted it. She is always pretty in my eyes since the first day I saw her.

But I started to see her prettier as we started our high school year.

Puberty hit her right.

And that's when I started to feel something different in my heart.

I didn't understand myself when I felt jealous seeing some random girls or boys approaching her, when seeing her laughing or being close with other people.

I didn't know what it is..

Maybe I was just afraid that someone would take my best friend from me?

Or Was I having girl crush on my best friend?

I'm afraid of what I feel.

I didn't want to lose my best friend, just because I was mistaken my feeling toward her.
