Drew and Kristy have been friends since middle school. Ever since they found out their birthday fell in the same month. But only a week apart ever since they found that out. Plus being friend they had their parents celebrate their birthday’s together. Once on Kristy’s birthday the next on Drew’s it went like this for years.

All the way up till they both hit twenty one years old. Through out their child hood they had this awkwardness about them. Neither of them could figure it out until one friend told them ( you to need to date) Drew looked At Kristy and said.

Drew: ( No we are way to good of friends for that.)

Kristy look at them both with a smile on her face. With some nervousness hidden behind it but it is not like. She has not thought about it before she was to scared to bring it up. Drew also thought about it a few times over the year but was afraid to lose their friendship. They did everything together when Kristy had a doctor appointment Drew went. Same with Drew if he had a doctor appointment Kristy went.

The two was practically married there was times they stayed at each others house’s. They just never went that extra step into a relationship neither one dated anyone. Either so they could have as much time for their friend as possible. They know everything about one another their likes dislikes. Also the thing they want to try everything.

So they do not have to worry about each other not liking the other’s present. For their birth day still from time to time Kristy asks Ben.

Kristy: ( What do you want for your birthday?)

Ben: ( Really! You are really going to ask me that. You know everything about me so there is no need to ask.)

Kristy laughs because she knows it aggravates Drew when she asks him that.

Kristy: ( Yes I know. I do know everything about you but I just like to ask.)

Drew: ( Why?)

Drew: ( Hmm. You sure about that.)

Kristy looks at Drew giving him a playful slap how could you say that. Turns away from Drew looking the other way with her arms crossed. Drew puts his hand on her shoulder turns her back around saying.

Drew: ( You know I love you I was just aggravating you. Like you did me .)

Kristy: ( you are not allowed to aggravate me. I am the the only one that is allowed to do that.)

Drew : ( Oh really now and when did this vote happen. Also where was I at?)

Kristy: ( Oh you did not get that message? Hmm I guess I have to get on to my secretary. Well the vote happened last night while you was in the shower.)

Drew: ( Oh so I could not defend myself. I see how it is.)

Drew and Kristy have come to have a playful banter like this over the years. To some one who does not know them they would think they are dating. So there friends have decided to give them the push they need. To make them a couple Kristy and Drew just think it will be a regular party but no it will not.
