Feeling someone’s presence behind me, I turn around to see Matt staring at me. How does he do this? Make me feel nervous? I’m never like this, I’m known to be confident, but how can just one boy’s stare make me anxious?
I walk towards him and say “you look pretty happy today.” I’m mostly just trying to start a conversation, but he really does look happier today.
“I am. It’s a pretty great day” he answers. He looks as if he is having some kind of mental debate. I’m pretty disappointed, but I try not to let it show. I heard that Matt likes me, but I’m not so sure if that’s true, if he really liked me he would act more excited to talk to me. Wouldn’t he? I know I like him but does he like me? I hope he does. We are in the hallway; many students brushing past us, trying to get to their classes but we take no notice.
“Wanna go out?” he blurts, he doesn’t say it very loud but it’s not exactly soft. I look at him, making sure he’s serious. Looking into his eyes, it seems as if he is bracing himself for rejection. Rejection is the very look he had on his face the day Debra punched him, but why on earth would I reject him?
“Sure” I smile and say softly, so no one can hear.
Matt gets that confident gleam in his eye before it turns to nervousness. “I mean like on… like on a date type thing?” he asks unsurely.
I smile and laugh softly. What else would it be? “Yeah I got that” I say
I look into his eyes keeping my calm posture, when really I want to scream and do a happy dance!
