I love you as a Friend

Like Him?

After the camping we had 2 day rest. When Monday came I went to see if Rick was around. I looked everywhere.. in his classroom, canteen, and even the comfort room but I didn't see him anywhere. I went to Hayes' classroom

"Hey Hayes! Have you seen your friend from the camping?" I asked him.

"Why?? Does Vanessa like Rick already?" He shouted.

He can be soo loud sometimes.

"Shushh I was asking. There's nothing wrong with it" I said.

"He said he'll pass this day. He went somewhere" He said.

"Oh okay thanks!" I said then went out of the room.

I walked down the stairs without noticing I bumped into something. I mean someone.

"Im sorry" I said looking down.

"It's okay Vanessa" The guy said.

Does he sound like Rick or am I just insane? I looked at him and he was smiling. Awkward. Should I go or talk with him?

"I didn't mean to" I said.

"As I said it's okay" He said then gave me a smile.

I smiled back and went my way down. My friends were downstairs already when they saw me, they all shouted. Channie, Danna, Hanny, May, Jessa, Kaitlyn, Mari and Ayan. They're my friends. I didn't know why they all shouted in harmony.

"You guys started me!" I shouted.

"Oops sorry! You two look good together" Hanny said.

"Yesss ship you both with all my heart" Mari added.

"What? I just bumped into him. Come on guys" I said laughing but deep inside I felt something different.

Am I starting to like him? He knows my name but how? Stop asking questions Vanessa
