So after about a week, Natalie spoke to me about this, and I really thought she was just gonna help me be friends with her. But I came to know that she wanted me to confess to Margaret about me liking her. Now there are actually three other people that I still haven't mentioned. First one was Ashley, or Ash, she's a cool person, and I don't really remember how we became friends but probably because we both used to sing in the free classes. There was another person Bailey. She was almost the same height as me, face with a lot of pimples but she was a good friend too. Then there was Albert, we became friends that year because we were in the same class. Margaret was in Ben's class.
So one day Natalie just asked me to wait outside the school for a while. I wondered for what it was. Of course , it was because she would call Margaret and ask me to confess. So she did. I really didn't wanna do it.
I was so unprepared. I just wanted to be friends with her. But now that she was right in front of me, I had to do it.
Justin was just beside me.
"Do it " Natalie said.
"Give me some time" I told her
"Fine" she said
"Look, you don't like me, do you? " I asked Margaret
I knew the answer was no.
She shook her head saying no.
"That's it then" I said and was walking away when Justin held my hand and stopped me right there.
"Wait" he said
"If you wanted to say that's it and go away then why did you need my help? " Asked Natalie.
I was pissed now because I wasn't interested in confessing.
"Now stand properly and confess. Cmon you can do this. " Natalie said
I saw the look on Margaret's face. She was clearly irritated.
I sighed,
"Look, I really like you, do you like me?" I asked her even though I knew the answer.
She said no and walked away. So did I.
