I Fell In Love With My Best Friend AU

Chapter 1 No.1

I hear my annoying alarm yell at me to get up for my first day of senior year.

I reach my arm over and quickly turn off my alarm before I roll out of bed. I thoroughly stretch out my tight limbs as I walk towards my bathroom, with my eyes closed, and take a warm shower.

-

When I'm finished showering and plugging up my curling iron I walk into my closet and pick out an outfit while keeping in mind that the weather is still warm.

You got to love fall weather.

It's still hot, but not too hot.

I decide to wear a white skater skirt with a light blue marble design and a white halter top. For shoes I chose white wedges.

When I'm dressed in the outfit I chose and my brown hair is curled in spirals my phone starts to ring from my nightstand near my bed.

I carefully unplug the curling iron and quickly spray my hair with hairspray before walking towards my phone and answering the call

"Hello?" I ask into the phone as I pick up the heart shaped locket I was given years ago but have no idea who it came from

My mom says that Charlotte gave it to me, but I don't remember that event ever happening.

"Aspen, I have amazing news to tell you" I hear Avery's voice yell down the phone causing me to pull the phone away from my ear for a second so I could regain my hearing

Avery Knight.

My best friend since fourth grade.

We've always had each other's backs growing up.

"What news?" I ask her as I clasp the locket around my neck and place a triangular ring onto my middle finger

This may sound weird but this locket gives me a sense of protection.

"Belleza is attending our school starting today" she shrieks with excitement as I gasp in shock.

For those of you who don't know, "Belleza", is currently one of the worlds most famous actresses and singers.

And as you can see we're big fans of her.

She inspired me to take singing lessons when I was fifteen.

"No way, wait why our school?!" I say as my my mind starts to drift off to the multitude of questions I suddenly have

"I don't know, but the article says something about her wanting to take a break and find her childhood sweetheart" Avery responds then suddenly gasps making me question her random outburst

"Have you ever noticed how similar Belleza and Charlotte look?" Avery asks me as I grab my purse and head downstairs so that I can eat breakfast

She's kidding, right?!

Belleza and Charlotte look nothing alike.

"I don't know, I haven't seen Charlotte since we were thirteen when she moved away unexpectedly" I say still confused as to why she moved away without informing me

Charlotte and I used to tell each other everything, yet when she makes the biggest decision of her life I have to find out from my mom.

"I have to go, I'll see you at school in ten minutes" I say to her as I reach the bottom of the stairs and start walking in the direction of the kitchen

"Okay, bye" she says before hanging up

I put my phone inside of my purse before walking into the kitchen only to be met with the sight of my mom placing a plate of pancakes on the counter in front of a barstool which makes me smile.

"Thanks mom" I say as I sit in the barstool and drown my pancakes in syrup before digging in and carefully eating it since I'm wearing white

My mom clears her throat before she turns to me.

"Guess who's coming back to town?" My mom says with a smile as I stop eating my pancakes to look up at her

"I don't know, who?" I ask her as I get up from the chair to get a water bottle out of the fridge

"Charlotte Wilder, your girlfriend from when you were young" my mom says as I grab the water bottle and close the fridge. I smile at the name and title that she gave her.

Charlotte and I's mom's always thought that we would end up dating since we were always with each other.

"Mom, we never dated. We were just best friends," I say smiling as I turn around to face her

"I can't wait to see her again, when is she coming?" I ask her as I take some gulps out of the water bottle

"She'll be at school today" she says making me do a spit take in shock as I stare wide eyed at her

Is she serious right now?!

"Why didn't you tell me earlier" I say as I run out of the kitchen, out the front door and towards my car before driving to school.

-

As soon as I arrive at school I park my car and quickly make my way towards the school entrance.

As I'm making my way towards my locker I'm greeted with a few hello's from my cheer teammates.

I know what you're thinking.

Oh no, she's a cheerleader, she must be mean.

A lot of people actually think that about us.

But it's not true.

We're actually really nice and hardworking.

"Aspen?" I hear Avery say with a tone of confusion as she slowly waves her hand in front of me

"Huh, What?" I ask as my brown eyes focus on her bright blue ones

"I asked if you needed help with anything" she repeats

Ever since my accident Avery has been helping me with anything that I find difficult or confusing.

"No, but thanks for offering" I say with an appreciative smile as we arrive at my locker.

-

As soon as Avery and I reach homeroom all the chatter is mainly based around Belleza coming to our school.

Which is expected.

I mean, it's not everyday that a celebrity chooses to come to your school.

"I still don't understand why she would chose our school" I say as I take a seat in the back of the class with Avery

"According to the article, her childhood sweetheart lives in our district" Avery says but avoids eye contact with me

That's weird, I didn't see that part.

I might've just missed it.

"Did you not hear me say the whole childhood sweetheart stuff on the phone?" She asks as she turns to me with a look of confusion.

When I woke up in the hospital, I was quickly diagnosed with short term memory loss.

It's a blessing and a curse.

"Sorry" I say as I silently point to my head

We get interrupted by our teacher as he yells at us to get our attention.

"As all of you know, Belleza is coming to our school," he starts off which causes a group of girls in front of me to squeal

Ouch.

My ears.

"They have decided to put her in our homeroom class, so she'll rotate with you guys" he says calmly as Belleza walks into the room

She smiles at all of us as she slowly looks around the class at all of the students. When her bright green eyes land on me my breath instantly hitches as my heart rate speeds up.

What the heck is happening?!

She slyly winks at me before continuing to look around the room at the other students.

"Oh my gosh" I whisper as I continue to stare at her with shock evident on my face

I probably look like such a creeper.

But I don't understand how it's possible for someone to look any more perfect in person.

God took his time on her.

"Miss Belleza, you'll be sitting next to Aspen. Aspen please raise your hand" he says to me but I'm too entranced on her to realize anything else that's going on around me

If this is a dream, I never want to wake up.

Avery suddenly forces my hand off the table and into the air but I'm still too busy staring.

Bad, Aspen.

Your mom has told you a multitude of times that staring is rude.

Belleza looks towards me but as our eyes meet I swear I see familiarity and adoration flash in her vision before she quickly makes her way towards the empty seat beside me.

As she sits down she turns towards me and smiles.

"Did you miss me?" She teases causing me to suddenly become very confused. I may be crazy, but it sounds like there's a hidden meaning in that sentence.

"Do we know each other?" I ask her politely with a tone of confusion

I don't want to come off as rude to her.

She's about to say something but her phone vibrates indicating that she has a notification.

She quickly reads it with an emotionless facial expression as she nervously bites her bottom lip.

I look over to Avery only to see her rapidly texting Charlotte.

I guess Charlotte and I aren't in the same homeroom.

I hope that I see her at some point throughout the day.

I miss her so much.

I turn my attention back towards Belleza who looks up at me with a genuine smile.

"Hi, my name is Belleza" she says as she holds her hand out for me to shake

I smile back at her as I place my hand in hers.

My hand starts to instantly tingle which only becomes more prominent as our hands continue to hold contact.

"My name is, Aspen" I say even though she most likely heard the teacher say it

Her grip is soft but firm.

"It's nice to finally meet you" I say honestly

"The pleasure is all mine" she says in a slight deeper tone

I blush as I realize that we're still holding hands.

I awkwardly clear my throat as I gently remove my hand from hers and place it in my lap.

-

Avery and I walk with Belleza to our second period.

It sounds simpler than it actually was.

Students kept continuously crowding around her and throwing random questions at her.

Avery and I had to practically make a hole in the crowd for her to squeeze through.

When we finally got Belleza through the crowd we quickly scurried towards our second period.

Math.

"I sit in the back of the class so that I don't get in trouble when I talk, sadly math isn't my strongest subject" I explain to Belleza as we walk into the classroom. I lead her towards the bench reserved for Avery and I

Avery and I have sat at this same exact table every year.

Mrs. Harrington teaches all levels of math so she's the only math teacher on this hall

There's another math teacher but I think she only teaches honors mathematics if I'm not mistaken.

"I can tutor you, if you want?" She suggests which causes me to smile as I tilt my head down slightly so that my hair covers my blushing cheeks

Gosh.

She's made me blush twice and it isn't even lunchtime.

"You don't have to, you're probably busy with movies or writing a new song" I say as I search my backpack for my math textbook.

She reaches over and gently touches my hand causing me to stop searching and look up at her bright green eyes.

Wow.

She has such a beautiful eye color.

"I'd love to tutor you," she says genuinely as she gazes into my eyes

"plus I'm taking a break from the spotlight" she adds with a small smile before she gives me a wink

"Yeah, to find your childhood sweetheart," I say

"How's that going by the way?" I ask with a tone of genuine interest which causes her to laugh lightly

She smiles as she stares down at the table.

"I've found her, but she hasn't noticed me yet" she says causing me to give her a look of confusion

Hasn't noticed her?

I'm pretty sure everyone at school has noticed her.
