"Hey Jessie" I say to my best friend. "Oh, hey Alyssa" she says sounding annoyed with me. I'm gonna go ahead and get to first period so I can talk to Mr. Christian. I see Dylan in the classroom and I get confused. He's holding up a sheet of paper. It says my name on it. I'm really confused. I walk up to him. I say "Hey" with a shy tone. He looks at me in my eyes and says "Hey, I'd like to talk with you after school is that okay" I'm in shock. My crush wants to talk to me? I say "Sure..I guess, where do you wanna meet"? He tells me to meet him by the library. After school. I meet him in the library. He tells me to come towards him. I walk slowly towards him. "What's going on" I ask. "I came here to tell you something extremely important, Alyssa" he says. I continue listening to him. "Alyssa, you are the most beautiful girl in school and I want you to know I care about you" he says. "But why me" I say while crying. "Alyssa, your gorgeous and you deserve to be popular and I'm here to make that happen". I begin to cry even more. "Dylan just go, just go I don't deserve to have the most popular kid in school talk to me". He walks away. "Wait" I exclaim, "come back". Dylan walks towards me. "Yes princess"? he says. "I-I'm not your princess" I say. "Well, you will be soon" he says. "I have to go home now, my mom needs me". I walk home in tears "I'm his princess" I say to myself as I walk home.
