I am secretly in love with my bestfriend
I know him for a very long time. We were living in the same community and he was also my schoolmate in grade school. We were classmates back when we were in Grade 4 and then on the following year he was transferred to other sections. He was quite famous in our school because of his talent in drawing. Whenever there was an inter school poster making he would always won the contest or sometimes bagged the 2nd or 3rd place. Back when we were in the last year of grade school where puppy love was already a thing a girl classmate of mine and him are into mutual understanding. At that time I don't really care since we weren't close and we seldom talk with each other.
After graduation in elementary both of us entered the same school in secondary. It is a school near our home that is why my parents decided that I should went to the same school instead of the other school where most of my close classmates in elementary went to. Most of my cousin and my older brother went there too so I really have no choice. In the end I met a lot of good friends while studying. Our school is quite big because of college department though the high school department isn't. In our batch we only had one section so all the qualified students who passed the entrance examinations were together in one section. So that makes us classmates for the next four years in high school.
At first, we weren't really close but he is again quite famous for having girlfriends even with the higher grades. Aside from that, he was active in joining poster making contest in other school that makes him extra popular. And well, he was actually handsome and has a good sense of humur probably one of the reason why girls fall for her. Another thing is that he can play guitar very well that even though he isn't that good in academics, many girls admired him. Our high school department isn't that big as I had mentioned earlier that is why almost all of the students knew each other. As far as I can remember, his older brother was in the higher grade that time and yeah he was one of my crushes. Yes, I have a lot of crushes back in high school not to mention the cute guys in the college department. Teehee.
We got closer when we were in 3rd year. I can't remember how it happened I just knew that we're closer a lot than before. We almost went home at the same time since we were living in the same area. I am friends with his younger sister and even his cousin too. He treated me nice and so do I to him. I thought our friendship would stay platonic until one day, he told me that he liked one of my close girl friend and he was asking me for help so that they can be together. I was a bit hurt then I realized that I like him more than friend. But for the sake of friendship I supported him all the way. I was happy whenever he was happy like a real friend should be, but deep inside I am crying wishing it should be me.
We remained good friends as I was too good in hiding my real feelings for him. Even my girl bestfriend doesn't know about it. I felt too shy to admit it and I think I was also afraid that if in case I admit it to him the friendship between us would be over. I chose the friendship over my feelings until the day has come that I no longer felt the same way I had for him. Friendship wins.
Right now, both of us have a family of our own. We didn't talk as much as before but I know the friendship will be forever treasured.
