It all led up to this moment, I had to tell him how I felt.
I saw him across the hall, I wanted to call him over but my voice couldn't muster any sound.
I walked closer to him, I called out to him and he turned to me.
"I.... I want to talk to you a-after school" I manage to stutter.
He looks at me confused, "sure, I guess" he says back.
I'm over joyed, "meet me behind the school ok?"
"Ok!" he responds.
I walk away quickly, I can't believe I was able to do that!
After school, the time has come for me to confess to him. I wait for him and soon, I see him walking towards me. He waves, and I wave back. "So, what did you want to talk about?" He asks.
"I-I was wondering, if you wanted to g-go out wi-" I was cut off by another girl who I didn't recognize.
"Hey, what're you doing back here?!" She yells at him. She walks between us and starts scolding him.
"I told you not to make me wait for you!"
"Sorry sorry" he says to her.
He then leans over to look at me
"Sorry, I forgot I made a promise to walk home with her, we can continue our conversation some other time ok?"
I feel crushed, I was so nervous and I was so close but, I couldn't do it. But even with that feeling, I can't let him be worried.
I put on my best smile and respond, "Ok!"
