" I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time actually. I knew you before we met." I said to him.

" what do you mean?..." he replied back.

" the truth is, I followed your Instagram before we met. But I stalked you." I said to him.

" what?.. why.." he said looking confused at me.

" I want to tell you but, I can't

I got up from his bed and walked out the door and outside. It started to rain a little. He chased after me and caught up to me. He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around.

" just tell me." He said to me.

" it's because, I like you." I replied to him.

I looked at him at his face without looking away, and the first time we ever made eye contact for a while. He looked shocked and surprised and I walked away from him, trying to walk away from this situation. I ran outside his door to go to my house. I looked and it was pouring rain outside. It didn't matter, I just wanted to tell him. I heard steps behind me and I looked around to see andrew. He was gasping for his breath and looking at me trying to figure out what to say. I stood there. He saw me outside in the rain, my hair was wet and I was looking at him, he ran to me and gave me a hug. I could hear him from my ears catching his breath, trying to calm down. I hugged him back.

" I didn't know that, but I guess I was just being awkard." He said to me.

" I didn't know what you would react to me, if that could've ruin our friendship, what we have done together, I didn't wanted to get us between us. But I fell for you so easily again. I just had to tell you. " I replied back to him

He pulled my hand and took me inside.

" sorry, the rain was getting in the way, I'll get us some towels." He said while going to another room. I really couldn't believe it, he wasn't like, being rude about this. It's like he wants to hear me instead of insulting me. I started to tear up a little and looked at my hands and at my hair that was covered in rain. I sighed and waited for him to come back.

He came back with two towels and gave me and sat next to me on his couch. We both didn't talk for five minutes, and just sat there. I just wanted to apologize to him.

" hey, I'm sorry for doing this so quick.. I just-"
I said before he cut me off,

" it's fine, I just need a moment to process like everything, but you don't need to say sorry."
He replied back to me.

I also needed a moment cause everything happened so fast. He spaces out and was looked down, he was fidgeting his hand a lot.

" I'm still processing this but, even though your my closest friend right now, I'm still surprised you, liked me, and not to mention you kinda stalked me on instagram. I don't know what to say though." He said.

" it's fine.. I knew you would be freaked out. I just had to tell you. I really do care about you. Just hear me out on that." I replied back.

" it's a lot for me to take in. But I think you as a friend, but I also, don't mind that you like me. I just saying that I also think we could, actually be able to like know each other more?..." he replied back.

" what do you mean by that?" I said back to him

" I mean I think your cool, but that's all, but I never liked a guy before, but your kind of my first guy crush I ever had. I never knew if I liked girls or guys. It's just all complicated for me." He said.

" do you like me or not?.. just like say  yes or no." I replied back to him

" I just have to see, it's only been three weeks hanging out with you, it's been a blast but I just need time to think about us. To put it in short, yes but I need time with you more." He said

" oh okay.. that's all I need, I'll see you tomorrow? Hope this doesn't become awkward.." I said

I went outside his door and ran to my house, I quickly ran upstairs to my room and laid on my bed. Well, he says he likes me but does he? I really don't know. I just wanted to say that I liked him. At least he didn't get mad at me, he sounded sincere and not downright rude. We're still going on that movie thing next week, maybe it could be considered a " date " if you really think about it. But I'm just gonna wait this one and just wait and see what happens.
