The One that I Can't Unlove

Chapter 1- How do I know

It was a normal afternoon, I was eating my all time favorite chocolate which was Ferero Chocolate until my phone vibrates and I see a message from my friend, Alyssa, I opened my phone expecting something good will happen to me but the reality is just Alyssa told me that I have a secret admirer in our school she showed me her chat with this 'secret admirer' guy but she edited the chat so I couldn't see this boy's name. So the chat goes like this,

"Why didn't u say hi back last friday?"
"I was scared, you were with her it was really awkward"
"Why though, she's not gonna bite anyways"

The next day, it was a school day, I asked Alyssa the same question over and over again about this 'secret admirer' I asked her "who is he" "which class" "please tell" she told me to just guess but she gave me a hint 'he is smart in every subjects except Chinese' I couldn't think of any boys in my school that is smart except for Chinese language.

Alyssa tells every girls in my class about it and you know what they can guess it as fast as i say "i cant do this" when i'm doing my math homework.
i asked them the same questions over and over again until they ran to the primary stairs this one boy passed in front of me and in that moment all of my friends were like "uuuuuu" "omgg" "HAHAHAHA" I was screaming right in front of him "WHO IS HE TELL MEE" i knew in that moment that he likes me and i said "Yes Mikaela he is the boy that was afraid to say Hi to Alyssa because there was you" in my head.

On break time I asked my friend, Irene "So, its him right? "
and she said "Yes its him but do you even know whats his name is"
"uhm no... he's in Sec 1A but us we're im 1C that is really far."
"His name is Peyton" in that moment I just remember that I have ever talked to him once about my laptop and that is the weirdest conversation ever.

To make this situation even more weirder and more uncomfortable, We talked more about Peyton right in front of him when he was eating his lunch im front of his class, I dont even know he was there....He just walked in to his class when he saw me.

The next few days of school I just living my life as a normal student. Well, not really normal with this whole thing thats happening right now and all of the problems I'm having, as a 12 years old I cant fix all of my problems.

Everyday we have this assembly at Multi Purpose Hall and I couldn't stop staring at him with that braces and glasses which makes him even weirder.
In the middle of the assembly, one of my friends from other class asked me about Peyton.
"Hey Mikaela, do you like him back?"
I felt really uncomfortable because all the students in my grade know about this. Im trying to ignore my friends that asked me about Peyton because in my opinion that is none of their business but i just keep my opinion in my head and answer them "haha i don't know yet" I will never know if i will love him like he does or no.
