We were walking together one day. Me, my mom, two little brothers, and another one of my brothers friends.

I didn't join into the conversations any of them were having, I was just listening to music. Then they started talking about the boy across the street. Trying to zone out, I distracted myself even more by changing the song to one that reminds me about a certain boy with blue eyes. I was perfectly fine losing myself in his memories until my brothers friend interrupted me.

"I'm surprised you aren't dating him yet." He says. I take a double take then stutter out the word:

"Who?"

He replies. Of course... Me and the boy across the street.

"Whys that?" I ask.

"Because of the way he talks about you at school and stuff."

I drop the conversation there, letting the words sink in. I can't even imagine that happening. Someone saying things like that behind my back? Things that surprise someone that we're not dating yet? Why would anyone feel that way about me?
