once you acquire a strong bond with someone, it becomes a friendship. you can relate to the person very well, you have trust in that person to be there when you need anything, and you have that person to comfort you during the long dreading school hours. but.. once your heart skips a beat, and once your palms become sweaty whenever you're near that person, it becomes something much more.
your heart races once that person calls your name. you try to look presentable for that person everyday. you give yourself touch ups before you enter the classroom, making sure that there's no surprises left on your face that could cause you to embarrass yourself in front of them. you can barely catch a breath when you're talking to that person, and eventually you decide to tell one of your other close girl friends about your "little" crush.
and of course that girl friend encourages you to tell that person about your feelings. you pace back in forth in your room, hoping to get a text from that person so that you can bring up the topic and finally let your feelings go. expressing feelings over text may not be the best way to go, but you may not want to feel any pressure in person so, you decide to do it over text anyway.
a simple conversation is started, until you decide that it's a good time to finally bring up the scary topic. it's a scary thing because, you don't want to lose that person as a friend just because of your feelings. losing a friend is the last thing you'd want to do. you're thumb, hovering over the

bar on the screen and you're hands start to shake. you know that person can see you typing, and you don't want to take too long, boring that person to sleep. you squeeze your eyes shut and press the send bar. you see them typing... your heart racing.. the caterpillars in your stomach erupting into butterflies and soon after, you finally receive a text back that reads:
"I've had feelings for you too.. ever since I first laid eyes on you.."
