Alaina🦋: are you okay?
I read the text message and sighed, I wasn't avoiding Alaina on purpose it's just that the feelings I have for her are strong and I don't know how to tell her; I'm not good with rejection and I know if she says she doesn't feel the same way our friendship is never going to be the same.
Me: I'm good why
I shook my head at the lie, but what else am I supposed to say "oh Alaina I have really strong feelings for you and I wanna be your boyfriend even though he consider me a best friend or even a brother" I thought to myself she would probably laugh in my face
Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz
"Cameron finals are coming up soon and unless you're reading notes on your phone, which I doubt you are; put it away" Mr. Lewis said before I could look at the text message. I nodded my head and picked up my pencil and started working on the worksheet he handed out.
When he went back to what ever he was doing at his desk I flipped my phone over and read the text message
Alaina🦋: you didn't even talk to me in first period
Me: I told you I wasn't feeling good
Alaina🦋: but still you could've talked to me talking isn't going to make me sick
Me: ight I'm sorry but I'll talk to you at lunch
I flipped my phone over so it was face down and started working on the worksheet. A couple minutes later my phone vibrated, I flipped it over to see that Te had texted me
Te👊🏿: why you ignoring Alaina
I shook my head Alaina probably told her what was going on
Me: I'm not I'm sick didn't want to make her sick
Te👊🏿: stop lying I just saw you the other day ain't no way you got sick that quick 🤔
Me: well I did
Te👊🏿: you a damn lie tell the truth nigga
I thought about it for a while, me and Te are pretty close so I know she won't tell Alaina, but I know she'll try to pressure me into telling Alaina how I feel.
Me: I'll tell you but you have to swear you not gone tell anyone especially Alaina
Te👊🏿: ite I swear now what is it👀
Me: I have feelings for Alaina
Te👊🏿: 😮 forreal
Me: yeah I think I always felt something for Alaina but I kind of pushed it away cause I didn't wanna ruin our relationship; but recently it's been uncontrollable I can't even explain it
Te👊🏿: omg you love Alaina
Me: ofc she's my best friend 🙄
Te👊🏿: no you love her in a gf /bf type of way 😝
Me: okay I do but don't tell anyone
Te👊🏿: I won't don't worry but when are you going to tell her
Me: idk I wanna tell her but what if she don't feel the same way
Te👊🏿: you'll never know if you don't at least try, how about tonight remember we having a pool party just pull her to the side and talk to her
Me: idk
Te👊🏿: you only live once cam what if she feels the same way
Me: and what if she doesn't
Te👊🏿: then just say you were kidding duh but you have to tell her or you're just going to keep ignoring her and pushing her away
Me: you're right I'll tell her
Te👊🏿: 🙌🏿 😊 yay well I have to go to the store and get stuff for the pool party ✌🏿
I flipped my phone back over and continued doing my work, but it was hard because all I could think about was Alaina
