Skylar's Crush

Chapter 1

 I really thought he was out of my head! Why is it so hard to stop thinking about him?! I liked him too much, and I should have strayed away a long time ago, and then forgetting about him or not thinking about him would be less difficult. Every time I saw him my heart just stopped. I know, I know. I'm a 13 year old kid, so what would I know about "love"? All I knew was that the butterflies I got were different than any feeling I've had about anyone. It was crazy. Wasn't it? Does catching feelings for someone always make you feel this crazy? I always wanted to say something, but I guess my fear of rejection got the best of me.

  Thing always tend to get weird when I'm around him, and the awkwardness was always easy to shine through. I mean.. we weren't even friends. Everyone upstate was always up my butt about "who my crush was", because they knew I had one. Some things always tend to slip out of my mouth. It's one of the worst parts of getting nervous for me. I just ramble on and on without giving any specifics, so I always end up leaving everyone with suspense. 

  He was there; that time that everyone was bothering the life out of me, but he didn't know it was him. It was all a big guessing game the whole second half of the summer, but strangely, no one had ever brought up his name for assumption. All of my friends thought it was my guy friend but it wasn't Michael. It was him. The player, the rudest boy alive; and I didn't even know why I was falling for him. It was so strange, even to me. All I knew is what drew me.. his sparkling green eyes. His name was Riley. Riley Dean.
