Teenage Crushes: Best Friends Forever

Like other writers I am bored.
Oh yeah, this book is 'bout some boy who has a massive crush on some girl and uh, enjoy? (Don't set your expectations to high I'm new).

My name is Lesley J. Michee, I'm 14 years old. I guess I'm quite the looker, but I would never consider myself hot. My so called "sexiness" was disguised by black glasses (classic Ray Bans), my apparently lame fashion sense, and a thick non-fiction book I always stuck my nose into whenever I wasn't doing school work. Basically, I was a nerd.
I go to a private boarding school which specializes and only teaches certain students. ( AKA kids who have scarring experiences or other stuff like that). Though I don't really know what that experience is for me, my stepdad Estaban ( kinda have to pronounce it as is your at the doctor. EST-AAAAAAAAA-BAN. That was kind of an exaderation) never told me.
I was reading a book in the library as always during lunchtime. Usually kids my age play football or chat with their friends, but I just lay low. I try not to be nosy or eavesdrop, but I have VERY good hearing so you understand I had no choice but to listen to some girls' conversation.
"OMG he is so cute" squeeled Squeely ( I only know the names of so many people, so I just give people nicknames).
"Yeah in a nerdy kind of way" whispered Jacket Thief (Pretty obvious why I call her that).
"Do you think he's availible?"
"No duh he's a nerd"
"But he's sooooo hot... How big do you think his junk is?"
I couldn't hear anymore as they walked up to flirt with "the other/slightly more handsome and popular nerd" nerd... Awkward...
Soon school was over so I went deep into the forest to the secret meadow I'm pretty sure only I knew about. I lifted up the vines of the willow tree and walked into the shade. Then I realized the girl sitting against the tree, reading a novel. She had light brown skin, but not a tan. She had shoulder-length black hair which was curly, but only slightly so I could tell it was natural. She wore ordinary clothing which she probably just pulled out of the closet.
"Hello?" I was snapped out of my daze. She was right in front of me now, waving her hand in front of my face. I couldn't tell if I was turning pale or red, my heart beat was as loud as a drum. I was trying to think of something to say, but all that came out was a squeak. You couldn't blame me, I didn't know how to talk to girls let alone other people!
I did the only thing I could think of. Run. Fast. Far away. Don't stop. Don't look back. Unfortunately, I wasn't the fastest runner, but I had never ran faster in my life. I stopped sprinting to catch my breath. That was when I remembered the most tingly feeling I felt when I saw her. It was like going on a high wire, the fright mixed with the thrill makes the rush you can't get enough of. I made a vow I would muster up enough courage to talk to that girl one day. Unfortunately, that day took longer then I expected.
Fortunately, the day did come, and now we were best friends, though just best friends. I still remember the first conversation we had.
"He..he..hi"
"Hi I'm Belladonna"
*Awkward silence*
"So did you see the game last night?" She asked.
"Oh ummm, yeah loved it"
"Oh there was actually a game last night?"
What the hell did that mean? Ask me if I saw the game (Actually I don't watch the sports channel but she didn't need to know that) then ask if there even was a game? She probably saw my confusion because she quickly explained. "I actually don't watch the game I just ask that question during awkward silences" I let out a chuckle, part from relief, part from the joke, part to be polite. The rest was pretty much jokes and stuff so let's cut it out. Though the more time I spent with Belle (nickname) caused me to think more about if I wanted to risk our friendship to step out of the friend zone, or let some other guy sweep her off her feet first. Like other kids,
