Do I Wanna Know

Chapter 8

I don't respond.

He likes me. Should I be excited or sad. I think sad. He's moving. He still didn't answer my question. Why now? Why did he tell me now.

The longer I don't respond, the more he texts me. My week is so long.

him: hello?

Did I say something wrong?

I'm sorry again if I did

I power off my phone and lay down. I smile for the fact that he likes me. I won't tell him I like him. At least not know. I was just planning to put a note in his locker, saying that it's from anonymous. Though, I'm sure he wouldn't've cared.

I said it too early. We just started talking Tuesday. Why didn't I tell her earlier? Why not last year, or the year after that? I face palm my self. Why am I so stupid?

Okay. Tomorrow, I will make it as if nothing happened. I hope she gets the message that I really like her. I still worry for her. I really do. If a kiss can heal, I'd kiss her everyday. It's true she's not the prettiest girl, but I don't care. She's amazing. For the time I've known her, observed her(I don't stalk her), I know that she's not a typical girl. She's an outcast, but she stands out. Scared, but brave. Shy, but funny. She's also really competitive, yet every time she hurts someone or sees someone get hurt, she'll reassure them and/or say sorry-twice. Fantastic.

I wake up and tell everyone else to wake up. I change, eat, then go to school. Basketball stuff.
