Best friends

"Elli...I can't walk you home today, I have a date with Bianca"

'sigh'

I'm already not surprised...it always has been this way. Xerxes would promise to walk me home after school but ditches me in the end.

"fine, go on with your date"

I can't hold Xerxes up even though I don't particularly like his girlfriend.

I can only sigh in defeat.

My name is Ellisander Anderson. That's my best friend, Xerxes Richardson. I've secretly liked my best friend for years now. We've basically grew up with each other.
