Maybe someday...

Butterflies - Chapter 2

The next day of school dragged on. In maths, I sat, bored, oblivious to anyone or anything. Ethan wasn't in this class which meant I had nothing to do. None of my friends were in this class either and I felt so lonely. After what seemed like days, the bell loudly rang and woke me from my daze. My best friend Liv was waiting outside the door for me. "Not good?" She said laughing. "What do you think? It's maths" I replied. Liv knew everything about me and I knew everything about her. We had been friends since nursery and have never argued since! She obviously knows all about my thing for Ethan but she's not great at relationship advice like my sister and has her own boy problems to worry about.

As we walked down to Drama, I caught a glimpse of Ethan. He smiled at me and I went all warm inside. Even the smallest look would me blush. Every time he looks at me I get butterflies. Even if it's just simply him asking for a pen!

All through drama I sat thinking about him. Normally I loved drama but after what just happened, I was no way prepared to let go of the feeling.

Liv saw how happy I was and laughed. "You look like you've just met Shawn Mendes!" She said smiling. I sat there for a few seconds, still daydreaming until I finally gave in and let it go. "It certainly feels like it!" I grinned.
Liv has a crush herself and she won't tell anyone, except me of course. His name is Ollie and he's best mates with Ethan. We always talk about how if we were both dating them we could go on double dates and stuff... But that was never going to happen.
Me and Liv are very secretive about our crushes. We only have told each other.
I always hear about those people who tell everyone who their crush is and I know it's the right thing to do - let your emotions and feelings show, but I'm not as confident as they are. What if Ethan doesn't like me? What if people make fun of me? There are so many 'what ifs' that I just wouldn't be able to take it and neither could Liv.
I guess I'm ok with him never knowing that I like him as more than just a friend; I don't even know if we are even friends? We've talked to each other a couple of times but it's nothing serious!

I walked home slowly trying to forget the fact that we were never, ever going to be a thing.

The next day a new boy arrived. He looked to the floor when he walked in to the classroom. He wasn't nervous, I just don't think he wanted to be here - relatable.
He introduced himself as Zach O'connor.

He sat down and that was that...
The rest of the day, as usual, was long and boring.
