Obstacles [on hold]

Crush

Have you always had someone you liked, but never really told anyone about it? Well, if you have, you're not alone.

"Oh. My. God. Guys!!! THE Steven Lennor just liked my tweet!!" Nayla squealed as she pushes her phone to each of our faces.

We all rolled our eyes when it hits me. "Wait WHAT?! Oh hell nah, THE Steven Lennor?!" I nearly screamed, eyes widening in shock. "Oh hell YES. He's soooo cute! I think I have a new eye candy girls!" She continued as she started fangirling.

Damn... Steven Lennor wasn't the hottest or most popular guy in school but many knew him. He used to be a player but I guess he got rid of it as he grew older, became taller, more muscular and oh where is this going.

I had a crush on him ever since I saw him back in freshmen year. I kept it low key because I was afraid my friends would laugh at me, but now that Nayla brought it up, everyone knew that he was now someone she liked while I... If I were to announce that I liked him too, she would think I'm competition for her and would probably hate me. I shrugged.

It's not like I'll be able to talk to him anyways. But an annual school fair was coming and it was my only chance to ask him for a picture. Yes, a picture. I wouldn't expect myself wanting much especially from a girl like me. Ugly, average height and just ordinary. I've heard rumors, I mean kinda stalked his social media and heard that he might be transferring schools at the end of this year. I can't miss this chance! But if Nayla was to see me suddenly take a picture with him, won't she kill me?

"Kat.. Kathy.... EARTH TO KATHLEEN FREAKING EVAN!" Teresa shouted as she waved her hands in front of me, snapping me out of my daydream.

"Oh sorry," I mumbled, embarrassed.

"Seriously, you okay?" Tori asked me with concern as her brows furrowed.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine," I replied, smiling slightly.

"Is there something you wanna tell us?" She continued. Should I? Maybe I should.. Okay never mind. God, I hate myself.

"Don't tell me you like him too?" Nayla asked as if she could see through my brain and into my thoughts. Without thinking, I nodded ever so slightly and shut my eyes to brace myself for the incoming "he's mine" speech but it never came. In fact, Nayla wrapped one arm around my shoulder and started agreeing with me on how hot he is while Tori and Teresa just kept on smirking at me. Seriously.

"Why won't you say so then!" Nayla exclaimed, giggling.

"I thought you would hate me if I told you I liked him too..." I mumbled.

"Aww don't look so guilty, don't worry I got many other hotties to look at!" She replied, giving me a hug. Thank goodness she didn't kill me. I thought to myself while heaving a sigh of relief.

---------------------

After that day, they won't stop pestering me about Steven. He was the first crush of my life, and they all knew it, that's why they were so persistent into getting me and him to talk to each other.

"Kathy, the fair is in FIVE days. I repeat FIVE. Have you even thought about what you're gonna wear?" Teresa suddenly asked me out of the blue while walking to class. OH SHIT! I mentally screamed to myself wondering how I could have been so dumb to be able to even forget such an important event.

"Ugh! I forgot!" I grabbed the sides of my head with frustration and hit the book I was holding against my forehead.

"That's so you," Tori laughed while nudging me lightly.
