The Warning signs

7 | Liam

"See you."

I kept trying to tell myself that she wasn't interested, that she was just trying to be nice.

But every time I tried to convince myself of that, I couldn't help but remember the way she smiled at me, or the way she laughed at my jokes.

The truth was, I couldn't get her out of my head.

And as I lay there, staring up at the ceiling, something hit me.

Maybe she did like me. Maybe she wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with her.

But what if I was wrong? What if I told her how I felt and she didn't feel the same way? That would be the worst thing in the world. I couldn't risk it.

It scared me to think that she might not feel the same way, but I knew that I had to tell her how I felt, otherwise I'd regret it.

And with that, my eyes shot open. I knew what I had to do.

With my heart racing, I jumped out of bed and began getting ready for school.

As I was brushing my teeth, I thought about the day ahead. I would have to find the courage to tell her how I felt, and it was going to be one of the hardest things I'd ever have to do, but also one of the most important things.

"Good morning"  The phone rang

I rushed to my phone to see the text I had just received from her. All I saw were the words

"good morning" which left me with a smile on my face despite how nervous I was.

"what u doing??" Another text came up

I smiled to myself as I typed a quick reply to her.

"Getting ready for school." I replied.

That was when it hit me that I was going to have my chance to tell her how I felt, and it was coming up faster than I realized.

I had barely finished sending my text back to her when I realized that we would be seeing each other in just a few hours.

The thought of that made my heart race even faster, and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach begin to flutter.

I started to feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness as I went about finishing getting ready for school. I tried to focus on everything else I had to do before actually telling her how I felt, but the thought of it kept creeping up on me.

As I was heading out the door, I thought back to the previous day when we had gone out together and I realized how much I wanted to do that again.

The thought of it filled me with this overwhelming sense of happiness and excitement, and I knew that I had to make sure I wouldn't miss my chance to tell her how I felt.

"Hi, Ella!" I replied with a smile, feeling nervous but also excited.

"How's it going?" I was excited and excited about shutting the door behind my back

"It's good Let's go?" she answered

"Yeah, let's go." I replied with a smile.

As we walked to school together, my nerves started to kick in and my heart began racing.

I couldn't help but feel a combination of nervousness and excitement as we walked side by side, and it was taking every ounce of willpower I had not to let my emotions take over.

Every step we took together, the closer I was getting to telling her how I felt, and the more I wanted to make sure I didn't miss my chance.

I had planned on telling her how I felt the night before, but now that we were together and I was faced with doing it in person, it felt very real and somewhat overwhelming.

But I knew I couldn't back out now. It was too late. This was my chance to confess my feelings for her, and I couldn't let that opportunity pass me by.

So, despite my nerves, I continued walking alongside her, and I couldn't help but notice how pretty she was. She had her hair tied up in a bun, and she looked like she had put some extra effort into her appearance today.

She was wearing this cute outfit that really brought out her eyes, and as I looked at her face, I was struck by how beautiful she looked.

I had always thought she was pretty, but today she looked like she was glowing.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy when I saw her, and it made me want this moment even more.

"Do you need something?"

I looked up at her and was snapped out of my trance. I realized that we had reached the school and she was looking at me, expecting a response.

I felt a mixture of embarrassment and excitement as I snapped out of my trance.

I smiled at her, attempting to cover up just how much she had stunned me.

"I was just...um...spacing out a little," I managed to say.

She looked up to me

"You don't want anything?" I asked
"No, I'm good. Just...you look...great," I replied with a smile, feeling slightly flustered that she had caught me staring at her.

"if you say so" she said and continued walking

I tried to act like I was unaffected by her beauty, but I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement as she continued walking ahead of me.

I felt like a little kid in that moment, feeling all fuzzy and excited just because of how pretty she looked, and it made me feel more nervous about telling her how I felt.

As we made our way inside the school, I couldn't help but feel distracted by her every move. I watched as she went up the stairs, and then followed right behind her, trying to focus on the fact that I had planned on saying something to her soon.

"see you inside!" She said happily as she approached my friends and said hello to everyone

"Yeah, see you inside," I replied with a smile

feeling a little disappointed that she had moved on quickly after we had arrived at school.

I hoped that she hadn't noticed just how much she had distracted me, but part of me wondered if she knew and was just playing with me.
