I know it's not good to keep secrets from her but she'll understand. I hope. I start typing.

I grab my phone and type a message to her: "Clay, I really like you." I want to send it but it's been years. I don't know if she us seeing anyone or if she even likes me back.

I curse myself and delete the message before putting my phone down. Oh my God. This girl got me nervous. I sigh and go back to typing up a paper.

My phone starts ringing. It's my buddy Daniel.

"What's up man?"

"Nothing much. Typing up a paper"

"You wanna do something tomorrow? You're always working hard."

"Nah man. Thanks for the concern but I'm going to coffee with an old friend."

"Oooooooh. Who is she?"

How did he know it was girl? I have told anyone about Clayanna (Clay) yet. I feel my face start to get hot, "Her name is Clayanna."

"Ah ha ha. You like her, bro? You know you do." He's teasing me.

"No man." I start lying, "She just wants to catch up. Haven't seen her in years."

"Suuuure. I'll let you get back to typing up your paper. Let me know when you are free one day. We'll go fishing."

"Sounds good. Bye." Hangs up.

Fuck! I can't be so noticeably in love with her. Not in front if her anyway.

***Clay***

I know I shouldn't be worrying about it but I start picking out my outfit. (Check picture at beginning) This'll work. I smile and plan my entire look.

It's not a date. I can look good for coffee right?  I start picking my own brain and i stay to feel sick. No... it's not. I calm down and finish my chores before bed.

I send him a txt. "Pick me up at 8:30?"

"Sure! Not a problem."

"Thank you. Good night." I doze off.
