The Absolute Complication We Call Love

Why

IF I HAD KNOWN THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I never would have fallen for him. We were just friends, Evan and I, and it was great. It all started when we were eating lunch. Earlier that day I had a bad fight (verbal) with my friend, and I was crying on his shoulder . I wish I could stay in that moment forever . That was the moment I...knew.....There is a reason they call it falling in love. Because when it happens I mean really happens that's exactly how it feels. I should have kept my mouth shut but no! I had to go and tell him how I feel. Now here I am pacing in a janitor's closet with my bestie.

"It's fine." Harley said patting my shoulder. "No it's not!" I screamed my mind racing, "I looked him straight in the eye and said 'I love you!' Then he walked away.He just stood up and walked away. Who the heck does that?!" I collapsed on the floor as a wave of sadness and anger drowned me.

"Look he won't ignore you forever." Oh no. She's going on one of her inspirational rants. Harley continued, "But for now I want you to wipe those tears, straighten your back and go out there. Now who runs the world?"

"Girls," I mummer.

"I'm sorry I couldn't hear you? Who runs the world?!"

"Girls!" I yell practically radiating with confidence. I stood up and walked out hoping no one could see how torn apart I was. Then I saw him ! HIM!! Oh no no no no! This cannot be happening. Oh no he's coming straight at me. 

 "Hey Charlotte....." he said. I think this is the most awkward moment of my life.

"Look Evan what I said before- " I couldn't finish before he cut me off.

"I feel the same way " I look at him; speechless. "I should have told you before, but I have felt this for forever." Now that I finally got my mouth working again I said, " Then why did you react the way you did?" He looked at me almost like he was a lost dog. Ugh, why did he have to be so darn cute? "Look I didn't know what to do. It just shocked me. But do you think maybe we could give us a chance?"
