High school (4 years later)
I dont know how it happened. I hadn't seen him 'till the second week of school. I was at lunch and he walked by. It was only for a second and he looked much older, but it was Will. He didn't even look at me but I saw him and that set a smile on my face for the rest of the week. Will had cut his hair and wore better clothes. As for me, I grew my hair out long and I wore less skirts and more jeans. We both looked better but at the same time, exactly the same.
After admiring Will in the halls for a while he finally started to notice me. That made me more unsettled and meant I couldn't look at him. After several weeks of school I became mad at him. Along with Lilly, who also went to our school. He pretended not to notice me. I'd wave at him and him just look at me like I was crazy. Maybe its because I hadn't dated him because he would hug Lilly and talk to others but not me.
During the fourth month of school, I started to forget him. I didn't care anymore; if he was going to forget me, than I would for get him. Besides, it wasn't worth it anymore. Will probably had a girlfriend by then.
The day after deciding to forget about Will I got a note in my locker. I rarely used my locker and it was hard to open so I just carried everything in my back pack. I picked up the note and read it.
Bella,
I know it's stupid to give you a note, but I don't want to tell you up front because I'm embarrassed. I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now. Meet me behind the parking lot after school.
-Will
My heart stopped and I felt like I couldn't breath.
"When was this note given to me?" I thought. I checked the note but it didn't have a date. During math class I couldn't think. I was going to check the parking lot but I knew that I wasn't from today.
After school that day I stood in he freezing cold and waited for half an hour ... I all ready knew that the note wasn't from today but I wished it was. I went home filled with disappointment. Maybe that's why Will had stopped caring for me.
The next day I gathered the courage to talk to Will. I hadn't talked to him for 4 years! That's a long time to still like somebody. I pulled him over in the hall and stood there awkwardly for a while until I finally said something embarrassing.
"Will, you like you and I hope I like me back. There I said it. I know that you gave me a note but I dont know when. I'm sorry." I felt relieved to have said it but Will's reaction was not expected.
"Well, Bella, I like me and I think that you like your self." He said. I couldn't believe said that. How could that happen?
"Oh! Umm... I mean I like you and I hope you like me back." I said. I was so embarrassed. I could feel my cheeks getting hot and red. Will smiled.
"Bella I like you, but why didn't you meet me at the parking lot?"
"I told you, I didn't know when you put the note in my locker. I don't use my locker very often." Will nodded. He gave me his number because class was about to start and we didn't want to be late. I almost skipped to class I was so excited.
