I'm usually the first to say that love isn't important. I'm usually the one to say I don't need love, love is useless, or love is pointless. But, up until I met him, my mind has changed quite a bit.
I don't really know what got into me. I don't really know why I had this sudden urge...the urge to...I don't know...be with him I guess you could say. Just the way he looks at me gives me butterflies. I blush every time he even looks my way! I guarantee he doesn't feel the same way about me, but, I feel heartbroken. I feel heartbroken because I know he'll never like me the way I like him. I don't know how to get him to like me, or how to get him to notice me more.
Things between us were actually going pretty well. He would text me almost every day, and whenever we passed each other in the hallway we'd exchange a few words. I was so happy! But thanks to a not-so-good "friend", he stopped doing this. See, at my school for the holidays they sell these things called "candy grams". Candy grams are just something you send to friends, or more than friends, and it's basically just a card that says "Happy Holidays!" with a piece of candy inside. If you get one from a person of a different gender, it's usually a big deal...but I don't really know why honestly. Anyway, Jared, happens to be selling them. My "friend" Lara decided to go and have a conversation with him about these candy grams.
"Jared!", Lara says. "You sell candy grams right?"
"Yeah I do.", Jared exclaimed.
"You know who you should send one to?", Lara asks.
"Who?"
"Katie!"
"Shut up", he says.
Lara claims he said shut up with a smile, but I doubt it. After that day, he hasn't texted me once, nor has he said anything to me in the hallway. I owe it all to Lara. Things were going so well! Why did she have to step in (WITHOUT MY PERMISSION) and ruin it!? Whatever. It's only been a week. Hopefully things change...like...now.
