A Confusing Love

Edit: I fixed some sentences and punctuation. Mostly because as I was reading it over again and all of the mistakes bothered me. But even if you did read it before nothing really changed just some of the sentence structure and spelling so it makes more sense.

How did I end up in this situation?

Here I am in the middle of the lunchroom with a bouquet of flowers in my hands staring at the one person I love, who hasn't given me an answer to my question and now I've noticed that my worst fear was coming true. I was being rejected by my best friend. But, before anything else happens the situation at hand has to be given some background to understand what is going on.

My name is Penelope, I'm a 10th grader who is aspiring to become a chef in the future, I have a height of 6'5, and an abnormal weirdo as my friends call me. I live in Las Vegas with my mom, dad and older sister whom I care deeply about. I go to at Desmond High School, a diverse but terrifying place.

Most of my time there was just awkward but it was tolerable because of her - Carol.

Carol was my best friend since the last year middle school, even though the first time we started talking was in the locker rooms because she couldn't open her locker. She was my only help in the world of weird cliques, classes and people in this wide world of terror called high school.

Eventually, I had found two people whom we both eventually started calling friends. The two friends that I had were Evelyn and Jason, who I may say had a close brother sister like relationship that made them work well.

Fortunately, we got through the first year of highschool without any problems from most people. We knew that the second year was going to be a piece of cake, if the classes and small changes in our interests didn't count on the overall change in from a piece of cake to a tough cookie. Fortunately, Jason hadn't changed much of his good natured attitude, Evelyn only changed her hair to black, I had been changing up my clothing/hair style, but Carol had become a lot more alluring.

This was not only annoying because a lot of guys tried to ask her out. Now we've had to avoid so many places to avoid the small crowds of boys asking for a date or the gratingly annoying voices of them trying to woo her. Most of these obstacles could easily be avoided but, the one thing could not be avoided was the slowly developing feeling I was having for her.

It started with just appreciating her beauty like any normal person would do. Then I started to notice small details about her like how her laugh sounds so adorable, how fluffy her curly ginger hair is, how cute she looks since she's a foot shorter than me, the way she rocks the look with a jean jacket with a skirt combo, and eventually my emotions were at a point where I couldn't deny that I was in love with Carol. 

This feeling wasn't easy for me to handle since this was the first time that I actually felt a connection and not a simple crush to someone like in the past. With all of these feelings I had to vent it out to the only people I could trust that weren't Carol.

Most of the time while trying to explain it was just awkward because of all of my mumbling, however Evelyn and Jason had taken the fact that I had liked Carol fairly well for my sake.
Surprisingly, they wanted to help me get with her even though it could change the group's dynamic.

Many of the first attempts to try and get with Carol were very subtle and she couldn't tell who it was and just forgot about them. The next ones weren't as subtle as the others but, she assumed they were other people and politely rejected them. While I've been trying these small ways my friends had been hatching up a plot to actually get her to know it was me in the most romantic way that it would be hard to say no.
