You know he likes you, right?

This day has been quite tiring. My mum was constantly bugging me about school, Pete was constantly bugging me about the date he has tonight, and my sister has been bugging me about doing fun stuff. Honestly, I don't feel like doing any fun stuff right now.

And some people might think: "But you're Tyler! You're the fun guy! You always love fun stuff!", but even extroverted people need a moment of peace sometimes. Mainly today. Things today have been... Weird. I mean, I thought I'd come to terms completely with my crush of Cameron. I don't know whether to do anything with it or about it, but life will go on. Sometimes, I feel like just telling him. Telling him how I feel about him, that I like him, but then I imagine how he'll react if he doesn't feel the same. And then the feeling goes away quite quickly.

He'd probably turn bright red, stare at everything near him except me, and either stutter something incoherent or just run away. I chuckle softly because of the mental image. I mean, it's a very sad mental image, but funny nonetheless.

I look over at my desk, and sigh. Cameron's calculator is lying on there. I got to borrow it for my calculus test today, but I probably completely ruined the test. Maybe because it's Cameron's calculator. Everytime I picked it up, I would just think: It's Cameron's calculator. Cameron is so cute, he probably gets that very concentrated look whenever he uses this calculator. I should really stop thinking about him. Maybe he's thinking about me right now? Maybe he likes me back? What if he doesn't? Will this ever go away? What is 295 devided bij 110?

I hate calculus.

I sigh, picking up my phone. Kara sent me a message. I open it, curiously, and sigh.

Kara:
How'd the test go?

You:
Terrible
I messed it up
Couldn't keep a clear mind

Kara:
Well
That's what crushes can do to you :)

You:
Shut up

Kara:
But seriously
Why did it go wrong?

I hesitate for a moment. Admitting Kara is right is something I don't want to do, but she was right.

You:
Because I was using the wrong calculator

I smile proudly at my excuse.

Kara:
I thought you borrowed Cameron's?

You:
Yeah
Well
That's kind of the point

Kara:
Oh Tyler
You really are hopelessly in love, are you?

You:
Afraid so
I'm wondering if I can keep it a secret much longer sometimes
It gets very distracting

Kara:
Then TELL HIM
Wait
I'm coming over

You:
Wait what?
It's already dark outside
