With Love,

Chapter 5: Love-Struck

I just wanted to eat and wash my mind.

I couldn't quit thinking about what Josh had said to me.

He really likes me?

I mean, Josh is ...

Josh.

As we were eating, his face kept popping up in my head.

"Guys.. I'm not hungry anymore.."

I pushed my plate away from me.

"What the hell!

20 minutes ago,

you were a starving beast

and now you've just lost your appetite?"

Sarah was quite puzzled.

"You've got the love, darling!"

"Dylan, shut up!"

"You know it's true.

You know you're coming down with feelings towards him,

face it.

You can't hide shit from me,

I've known you forever.

You're the grade level book,

I know you.

And I know you're starting to like him."

"Ughhhh!

I hate you so much!"

"Sure." He said back in a sarcastic tone.

He was right.

I am coming coming down with the love-bug.

When I begin to have a crush,

I usually don't eat as much as usual, it's hard for me to sleep, I only think about that one person and I become denial.

But I'm still scared to be in love.

It's all too much for me.

Some people just don't get it,

especially Josh.

We finished and headed back to the truck.

After I situated myself,

I got my phone out; dialing Josh's number.

"Earan, what's up?"

"Hey.

Uh.. When will you be in Cali?"

"I'll be flying out tomorrow. Why?"

"I uh..."

Dylan was laughing in the back.

"Excuse me for just a second, Josh."

I slapped Dylan's legs multiple times.

"You little fag!"

I whispered it though, hoping Josh wouldn't hear.

"Hello,

Josh?"

"Yeah, still here. So you were saying?"

"I..

Uh...

Just wanted to know if you...

Uh..

Wanna hang out or...
