Makayla POV "Girl, are you ready to go?" My friend, Ashley asked me.

"Absolutely" I said, smiling big.

I can't help but be really excited.

So now I will take this moment to explain myself.

My name is Makayla and I am getting ready to the Magic vs. Heat game.

As I said earlier, I am very excited.

Elfrid Payton, point guard for the Orlando Magic, will be playing.

Elfrid was my best friend in high school.

Both of us played basketball in high school.

I was # 18 and very, very shy.

I still am today.

However, Elfrid was my lifeline. He always made my feel so good about myself despite my crippling shyness.

Anyway, back to the present situation.

Ashley looked at me. "Well, we should get going before it gets unbelievably crowded there." "Agreed." I said, with a smile.

So, with that being said, we headed to the game.

Thirty minutes later, Ashley and I were sitting courtside at the Amway Center, the Magic's arena.

I must say Elfrid was absolutely on fire.

He scored an awesome thirty points. With that, the Magic went on win 107-90.

To say that I was happy about that is a total understatement.

Ashley and I waited as most of the spectators made their way out of the arena. We decided that it was best not to get in any hurry because it would be

absolute hell getting out of here anyway with all of the traffic .

The two of us were just standing around taking it all in when all of a sudden

I hear my name.

"Makayla, is that you?"

I turned around and saw (OMG) Elfrid coming my way.

I am sure that the smile on my face was ten miles wide.

"Elfrid! How are you?" I said, as both of us walked toward one another.

"Pretty awesome" He said, as he pulled me into a hug.

"I'd say so." I said, smiling. "You had one heck of a game."

"Thanks" Elfrid said, blushing a little.

I smiled again and then things were quite for a minute.

Then he spoke again. "It's so good to see you."

"Good to see you too."

The next thing I knew, our faces became closer and closer.

And.....wait for it.......we shared a sweet kiss.

I must say it was awesome.

When we finally pulled away from one another, Elfrid looked me straight in the eye. "Ummmm Mikayla.....I have a confession to make. You have always been my best friend but I have honestly always felt more. "

I smiled big but I was also in shock because I have always felt more for him as well. I just figured it was not worth my time to tell him. However, I think that is not the case now. I looked at him."Elfrid, honestly, so have I."

He then looked at me and winked."Well, I have a solution to our problem."

"Really?" "Yeah, how about you be my girl?" Elfrid asked me. I smiled really big once again. "I-I would love to."

"Awesome" He said, winking again. "So, what now?"

"I would like to introduce you to my friend, Ashley."

"Ok great."

With that, I put my hand in his and we walked over to where Ashley was standing and trying her best (not really) not to eavesdrop.

I never dreamed this would happen from coming to watch my high school best friend play NBA basketball. I can hardly wait to see what the future holds for us.
