Dear crush,

My best friend decided to watch my tennis practice today. Little did I know that the football players and soccer players were going to switch fields today, so there you guys were, the field right behind me. All my JV football friends, and yet...I could only pay attention to the fact that you were right there. Well, I guess I wasn't really paying attention at first. At first, I was laughing and showing off for my best friend. That was until I heard your voice, "Yeah, [insert my name here], yeah! You go! Hit that ball!" I crumbled. I was practically in the palm of your hand. My face turned fiery red and my best friend was bursting out laughing. I was concealing my own chuckles (not very well might I add). I began showing off even more; I was playing amazingly! Some little guy on the team I barely know started screaming along with you, and continued to while I was playing. It was like a commentary. That was, until you turned to him and yelled at him to shut up and let me concentrate, which I thanked you greatly for. And some part of me wonders if it was because you wanted to be the only one cheering for me. And that thought makes me smile, a lot. During the points, I could hear you two mumbling, "Damn! Oh my god she got that!" It felt great. Later on in practice, your best friend looked at me and told me what a good job I was doing. I couldn't help it; I secretly imagined it was still you, and I hoped and prayed that the football team would practice on that field more often.

-Yours Truly
