We’ve ranked the best movies and music videos of all time. We’ve talked about where we go when we die. We’ve made drive-by scavenger hunts that have taken us through our entire subdivision. So of course when he asked me to go for a bike ride on Saturday, the day when I had no field hockey practice and no major tests to study for, I thought that we could spend hours talking and riding. Then maybe he’d ask me to sit on a bench and he’d sit next to me, nervously, and he’d hand me a flower he’d picked from by the river and say that the flower was just as beautiful as I am. And then he’d confess his true feelings for me and ask that we get married when we’re older and raise our family near our parents and grandparents in Featherstone Creek. Or we’d just ride bikes. Whatever.Yeah, sure, I answered, eager to hang out with him, but wondered if something was up.At least I knew one thing for sure: I think Lee is someone special. But no one knows that.Lee and I had been close friends for years. But lately, I’d felt our relationship was changing. We were getting older, more mature, and it felt like our friendship was also moving in that direction. We were having more in-depth talks about the future, the world. He’d been asking to come to Sunday dinner every week. Yes, my mother’s cooking was good. But was he really just there for the food?The truth of the matter here was that Lee was my best guy friend who I’d started to see as more than just a friend. But if I told him that, a few things could happen. One, he could confess he feels the same way. Or two--gasp, ugh, ack!--he could say “I like you, but I don’t like you like you.” And then things would be different. He wouldn’t come over for Sunday dinner anymore, he wouldn’t text me funny videos of squirrels twerking, we wouldn’t ride bikes together, and we wouldn’t go to our lake houses together and hang out all day. The potential for option two to happen was enough to make me want to keep my mouth shut.And I couldn’t just ask him directly if he felt the same way. That would automatically make things weird. I couldn’t say what I was feeling, either. I didn’t exactly understand what I was feeling. I was only eleven years old! I was hardly an expert on relationshi
