I almost kissed him

Was all I could think about
It's past 3 am and I only had a few hours left to sleep - I don't know how to feel about this
Does this mean I like him back?
I know he likes me but... can I return his feelings for me? Gosh this is so exhausting

I mean he isn't like the guy I always imagined having a crush on - but his ocean blue eyes I could stare at all day, his caring demeanour, his smile, the way he's always there for me even though he's handling his own problems, the little things he does that actually warm my heart, when he makes me laugh
Why do have this giddy feeling again
Gosh I could write a whole book about what I like about him

When I finally woke up for school I decided to take the bus since I've been to tired to take my bike



As I entered the school I felt everybody's eyes on me
Do I have something in my face?
I walked to my locker and got the books I needed

I waited a little to see if Kate, Ian or... even Everest would appear - but nobody came
Weird
I was about to go to my first class but then saw Kate and Ashley? Coming my way
"Yo" I said casually as I walked next to them
"Oh hey" they both said before going back to their conversation

The whole way to our class Both of them ignored me - I tried to talk to them but they would be quiet for sec and then go back to their previous convo

"Alright bye Ash" Kate said hugging Ashley goodbye
"Bye" I said waving with my hand
"Bye." She said quickly to me not even looking in my direction

Before Kate entered our class I stopped her
"Kate? Is everything alright?" I asked her unsure
She smiled and nodded at me

On my way to our cafeteria Madison stopped me "Venus sweety" she called
"Come sit with me" she said dragging me to the popular table "but-but" I protested
"Don't worry your gothic friends are also there" she said assuringly

When we reached the already full table Ian and Kate were really there
Madison sat down next to Everest and I sat down next to Brianna
I felt eyes on me and looked around the table
I made eye contact with Everest - he quickly looked away blushing a little


Who would have thought that sitting at a table with the high schools most populars would feel like sitting at a table with a bunch of loud and noisy children
