i was currently at a party hosted by one of the most popular girls in school. jane harmon. i didn't even talk to her and i'm pretty sure she has no clue about my existence.
although i didn't want to be here, my friend insisted that i go, stating that, "we only have four years of high school. we should be making the most of those four years!" i reluctantly agreed and here i was now, sitting on jane's couch, drinking god knows what alcohol.
i had lost my friend awhile ago and was now just sitting and being anti social.
i looked around hoping to find my friend, only to see two people in the corner eating each other's faces. i scoffed and made my way to the kitchen to refill my drink.
while i was refilling my drink, a girl came in and smiled when she saw me. "hey you! come play 7 minutes in heaven with us!" i looked around, confused if she was talking to me or not.
there was no one else around, indicating that she was talking to me. "oh um i'm good." "please we need more players!" in that moment, all i wanted to do was go home.
"uh-" i was cut off by the girl grabbing my arm and pulling me into the living room.
there was about 15 people sitting on the ground in a circle. the girl then sat me right next to her and jane began explaining the rules.
"ok so we have a bottle in the middle, and when some-" i stopped listening, not really caring. i looked around to see who else was in the circle when i saw him.
dave hodgman.
we have been in school together since the 6th grade. i've had the biggest crush on him since middle school.
he doesn't really know me that well, but he does know me. we are only acquaintances.
he sits in front of me in biology and turns around to ask me questions about the work occasionally. he probably thinks nothing of it, but i enjoy every second he talks to me.
even though i've had a crush on him forever, i have never done anything about it. i could have tried a little harder to at least become friends, but i didn't think there was a point in even trying. i was pretty sure he liked jane. i would always see the looks he gives her and my heart ached for him seeing how she always led him on.
i was lost in a trance when i noticed he was looking right at me. i looked away and my cheeks flushed. i quickly looked back up and he just smiled at me. i gave him a smile back and then he continued listening to jane. i wanted to crawl in a hole and die.
that was so embarrassing.
i wasn't even paying attention when i heard a bunch of giggles. i looked up and saw that jane had spun and landed on a guy i didn't know the name of.
7 minutes went by and they both came out with an obvious loss of breath and jane's lipstick was smeared.
everyone laughed, except dave. he looked as if someone just ripped his heart out. i felt so bad for him.
