I make my way through the seventh grade doors and down the corridor to the stair case and waltz up. I sluggishly make my way to my locker and open it, but at the same time I light up because I am one more day closer to it all being over.

"BUZZZZZ"

The bells buzz was stuck in my head, ringing over and over. I was exhausted but thankfully the day was halfway over. I had just left lunch to go to my next class. This is one of my favorites for one of two reasons;

1) Bryan was in this class.

2) it was easy as hell and required little work

I, each day, hopefully wish that sitting next to him will get him to like me. It's not like I make him, he just does which gives me the impression he has feelings for me....but I was soon to be proven wrong...at least I think.

(At home)

My friend Victoria and I were planning on a night out. She obviously knows that I have feelings for Bryan so her and I created a plan:

We were going to go to the sports plex for a night of skating and basketball. Bryan was going with us. Thus I would, even though I'm a girl, ask him if he had the same feelings for me as I do for him.

__________________________

Victoria and I arrive at the sports plex at 5:30 P.M. I was a little nervous, she on the other hand was rambunctious and excited. I prepared myself for the next four hours to come. I was hoping for the best, but I still prepared myself for the worst.

Victoria, Bryan and I were all skating laps...tons of them. For about one hour we skated until we were bored of it and decided to play some basketball. When we entered the basketball court games were taking place so we all went and preoccupied a bench to watch. Since there were only about four balls we waited patiently to get one.So in the mean time we talked.

"So you guys having fun?"

"YES!" Victoria screams in my ear nearly making me deaf.

"Yupp" i responded while popping the 'p'

"Wanna shoot some hoops now?" He asked as he pointed to one of the balls rolling on the ground.

Victoria and I agree with the nod of our heads.

30 mins later......

We were all sitting on the bench again, this time with some other people. Victoria pulled me aside and asked:

"Are you going to ask him!?" My friend whispered.

"What if he says no though?"I whispered back with a knot starting to form in my stomach.

"He won't. He'd be stupid if he did. c'mon DOOOO IIITTTTT!" As she dragged out her words I thought for a quick second.

(The whole night he looked at her. He laughed with her. Mostly talked to her. He was doing things with her. Flirting with her. So where are the feelings between us!?)

All of the sudden I felt naucios because I knew what was coming.

"Hey c'mon just do it. You never know. YOLO girl."

"Fine but I'm doing it over text." I told her, because I was just too nervous to do it myself in his face.

So Victoria and I sit on another bench on the other side of the court opposite of Bryan.

"hey I have something to tell you" I wrote it out, re-read it to make sure it was what I wanted, and sent it.

"What?"
