stupid middle school crush

three

November, 6th period.

The class went to the library to pick up a copy of The Outsiders

And since my last name was first I got my copy first and was standing outside. Leaning against the wall to be greeted by him. Goofy smile and his eyes on me. I kept eye contact, staring him down. Thinking he would make fun of me or something.

But he leaned close, arm against the wall before whispering.

"My friend told me.. you confessed to him. You like him hmm?" The way I reacted let him know something that "friend" didn't. I didn't like him.

Never did, but the kid I confessed to with a note was a forced confession. All the people in class had to had a crush, and this girl convinced me I had feelings. But they were forced, but it made elementary less boring.

"I didn't like him.. it's been 3 years and he still remembers?" I replied back, the boy infront of me shrugging before backing away.

"Well he told me, but since I know you I couldn't help but ask." His eyes darting away before going away.

I haven't realized I was holding my breath.

But he didn't know what he did at all.
