The Story Left Untold

Tenth Grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called

"Best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair and wished she was mine. However, she didn't look at me like that, and I knew it.

After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and I handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her but I'm just too shy and I don't know why.

She left and I'm left with the thought of her being mine. I told myself that i could really be happy with this best friend of mine if i only told her what i was hiding all along since the sixth grade but then the thought of rejection cam to my mind and just destroyed all my happy thoughts. 

Days passed and I'm still deciding on telling her that i like her then one night i realize that if i don't do this now, i might have just lost a good job opportunity. the job of being her full time boyfriend. 

The morning came and i was excited to go to school to see her and tell her everything i feel about her. i arrived with a big smile on my face, i asked my friend Joe if he has seen Ina already today. He said that she was in the canteen. I went to the canteen and then *boom* 

I saw Ina with this guy Larry and they were talking. i stayed near the door and i saw Larry giving Ina flowers and then he lifted a big sign saying "will you be mine" and then Ina nodded and said yes. I didn't react at all (weh) and they saw me. Ina approached me and told me the good news (good news for her not for me). i smiled for her and told her i was happy for her. 

I regret not telling her earlier.
