first day of freshman year. i'm lucky enough to have the high school experience with my friends from jefferson middle school. i hang my picture of buffy, andi and i up on the inside of my locker. if i could take a snapshot of my life right now... i'd say it's perfect. i have the most precious friends. it couldn't get any better.
"hey underdog!"
i hear a familiar voice in the distance. i look back to find tj. a guy who broke the scary basketball dude trope. a guy who taught me to trust myself.
"ey, tj!" i yell across the hall.
"please tell me i have some classes with you this year," he said frantically pulling out his class schedule from his backpack.
"let me see," i say as i reach for the piece of paper. our hands touch for a second before i bring his schedule closer to me.
"ah yes! we have history together!"
*bell rings for first period*
"awesome! you probably don't want to be late"
"you know me too well," i smile.
tj lets out a big smile, so big that it felt like everyone stopped what they were doing. it felt like we were moving in slow motion.
"i'll see you third period!" he says as he turns around and disappears into the crowd moving in the hallway.
ever since tj apologized to buffy, it felt different looking into his eyes. i haven't felt this way since i had my first crush. you know, when your heart goes ba bum ba bum ba bum. but like, insanely fast.
i guess you can say i have a crush on tj. the only thing is... i don't want to get my hopes up again. my first crush was a straight dude who's dating one of my best friends...
would the universe let me down again?
