You're Confused

Chapter 1

A girl who does not have any real guy friends because she's awkward and introverted, studies in an exclusively all-girls school and only had Long Distance Friendship friends from the internet (Is that even a thing?). That's me. Juliet O'brien, 14 years of age. I used to have that life but I thought of doing something else as it became boring in my everyday routine. After school days, I would walk to my tutoring class then I always see this guy named Martin. He's my tutor mate and he seems to be a kind guy. Every time we would see each other, he would smile and greet me. Of course me, not knowing the difference between flirting and just being polite, I started to have a crush on him. Some other girls would but I used to stalk him a lot on Facebook and Instagram then I caught something in one of his photos. It's a picture of him sitting on one of the swings of the playground. Then it hit me. It's the playground of my village. I hurriedly texted him asking if he lives in the same village as I am. He replied saying no but his friend Nathan does. That time I didn't even bother who Nathan was and I thought I wouldn't even be close with one of Martin's friends since in the beginning him and I aren't close. Eventually, Martin and I became good friends. He came to trust me and somehow I began to trust him back. He admitted he is gay though, that's for sure. I give my respect then eventually my feelings for him vanished although I wanted to bring him to my prom since he was the only guy I knew and no one else. But who would think about prom when you're only in 9th grade?

"Oh gosh no please, don't die you piece of crap.... Come on just a little more...!!!" Then I lost. I threw my controller on the other side of the sofa and screamed as loud as I can while covering my face with the pillow. Every gamer's pain is knowing he's almost at the summit of winning but the damn opponent just has to be smarter to know all your strategies.

*Ting Ting Ting*

*Checks phone notification*

"Hey Juliet! I'm at Nathan's house. Wanna come over so I could introduce you to him?" Martin texted.

I'm- not so sure if I could do this... I'm awkward, nerdy looking weird girl... Oh well maybe we could give it a try.

"Hey yeah sure I'll be right there in a few."

I run towards my room and pulled out a lot of clothes to make a good impression but ended up wearing a shirt and a pink three-fourths pants. I hopped on to my bicycle and ready to bike towards them but something is stopping me. My conscience. "Hey, are you really sure about this? I mean like I'm pretty sure your friendship with him won't last." said my conscience. "What the hell are you saying? Are you out of your mind? Leave me alone." I answered back making me look like a crazy person. I then bike to Nathan's place. There, I saw Martin with another guy. I'm assuming he must be Nathan. "Julieeetttt!! This is Nathan. Nathan, this is Juliet." Martin did the introducing. I was in utter shocked. HE GOT LOOKS YO. A height of 5'4 or 5, same age and year level as mine, those hair makes me want to comb with my fingers. Oh gosh what is this feeling? Why is my heart beating so fast? This is so unu- "Juliet? Earth to Juliet! Are you there?" Martin called out and I snapped out of my fantasy. "Oh huh uh yeah yeah I'm here. What's up? Wait. Why are you even here?" I asked. "Oh because I have to film something for my school project and Nathan offered to help." Martin replied. I see... "So is there anything I could do to help too?" I offered as well. "Oh yeah you can do these." After a while, we finished filming Martin's project. Then another guy came. "Juliet, this is Jay. He's also in the same batch as mine so basically, we are all the same year level." Martin stated. Hmm.. Jay. He looks like the type that does not want to deal with meeting new people. After all the introducing and crap, the four of us played badminton. When it comes to anything that involves sports, I tend to be competitive to my opponents. Guess I was a little excited and made the opponents lose in no time. It's 5:00 pm. My nanny called me to go home but I want to spend more time with these new set of friends. I tried asking for at least 10 more minutes but she refused. I apologized to Martin and said I have to go home. "No worries." He said and I said goodbye. As soon as I arrived home, I got a text from Martin saying Nathan wants me to add him on facebook. I was faced with excitement and immediately friend requested him. now I have another friend. But what is this feeling?
