It was the end of the year and the 7th and 8th grade dance was coming up. I really wanted him (my crush) to ask me, but I knew he liked one of my other friends. So the day of the dance I was told that one of the boys in my class liked me, I didn't like him like that, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. This was even more awkward when he asked me to dance... Slow dance... With him. How was I supposed to say no. Well, then it was my turn to ask someone else to dance so I asked my crush. Then I made sure to help him find the girl he liked because I knew she liked him back, and they danced. I never told him that I liked him though... But the hardest part was yet to come... Telling him I had to leave, possibly forever
