Building it up (nickloon EHEHEHEHE)

'Natural speech'

My thumb starts hurting and I wince slightly at the pain. I've been scrolling through this online story for HOURS and my fingers feel like they're going to fall off. My phone is really warm as well, so to solve both problems, I place the phone next to me on the cool soft grass and I give my hand a break. Staring into the orange-pink evening sky, I think about the characters in the story. Of course I was reading a romance novel, as usual. It was the confessing scene. Then my mind wanders around and makes its way to thoughts about nickel. 

I want to be with him so badly. 

I could express all I want to tell him without the fear of looking weird in front of him! Or fear of getting rejected... I think back on all the memories we made, smiling. This leads me to think about what suitcase said.

"Why would he ask, if you LIKE SOMEONE? HE OBVIOUSLY LIKES YOU BACK!. Stop being so blind!"

Am I really being oblivious right now? Is nickel dropping signs and I'm just not picking them up? Nonono.. that can't be, can it? Why would he like me? Maybe the teasing and the hugging... the way he cuddled into me two nights ago...

Do friends do that? They do that right? Wrong? UGH I JUST DON'T KNOW.

I realise my hand is feeling much better, so I pick my phone back up and continue reading to distract myself from all these thoughts.

UGH OH MY GOSH WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DOOOO

FRIDAY. IS. TOMORROW

I SAID ID CONFESS TOMORROW

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I stare at the floor, internally panicking. Am I ready to do this? Yeah.. just nervous. VERY NERVOUS. I clench my jaw and gulp nervously while my leg bounces up and down quickly. How do I do this? 

I sit back and lie down in my bed. Then I start rolling around, frantically trying to get my head together. What should I say? What should I do? Do I bring something?

...Will he reject me?

No, we literally cuddled at one point. And he doesn't mind me hugging him... does that count? I should stop thinking about rejection. INSTEAD I SHOULD THINK ABOUT HOW I'LL CONFESS.

I take my phone out and start typing a script.

'Hey balloon, I think you're super cool and I like you'

Nah that's too bland.

'balloon, you are the reason I live'

That's just gonna get him concerned.

'balloon, I think you're pretty and I wanna be yours'

What.

Ugh these ideas are HORRIBLE. Of course I don't know how to confess. I don't even know how to show affection properly. I curl into a ball, blushing hard and trying to get my mind straight. 

Maybe I should ask someone.
