I saw him. It was the first time.
I was at a table with my friends, presenting what we had done in our previous enrichment session. Something had caught my eye, I looked across and I saw a guy. Average height, brown hair, dressed smartly; I turn to my friends and we huddle, we then turn back to see him packing his schoolbag.
"He is so cute!" my friend says. "I like his shirt" my other friend exclaims. The shirt was navy.
From then on, we decided to call him 'Navy Shirt Guy', given that we didn't know his name.
A few weeks had passed and I had not seen him, he wasn't really on my mind that much because I had only seen him that one time. I perhaps thought he was just a visitor at school until during homeroom one day, I saw him. He was walking into his homeroom, I turn to my friend, excited and I pointed out to her that it was him.
"Yeah I know, he is in my sister's grade", she says and then she pulls up "his" instagram.
I finally knew his name, however we vowed that we would still call him 'Navy Shirt Guy' in order to keep my crush private, as gossip spreaded like wildfire in my school. I looked at his page, I looked at him, I look back at the page. I request to follow.
After school, he accepted the request and asked to follow me back. You have no clue how excited I was, I did a little digging into his instagram page to see what his photos were really like. I then stopped. Nothing else
A few days had gone by, the weekend passed and we all returned to school. There I was, back in homeroom again with my best friends; having a good time, just being happy.
I saw him.This was a daily occurrence at this point, I began to notice that the more you know of somebody, the more you see them. I felt like I hadn't noticed this guy at all for the duration of time I had been in school, which was only a month or so due to me relocating.
I smiled to myself, I felt happy inside and as I was about to turn back, something caught my eye. I saw him, again. Wait a minute? Again? I swore I just saw him enter that room, why has he changed outfits? I glance over and I see the guy and another guy; who looks exactly the same. What the fuck?
I return to the instagram, I check for other followers who have the same surname as the him. There is a twin, who looks exactly like him. I then thought to myself, "Have I been crushing on two people, thinking I was crushing on only one person?" because, if I am being honest, this guy looked exactly the same as his brother and you wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference between them unless you looked up really close which I hadn't obviously done.
"Guys look", I say to my friends. We all turn in unison.
"What the fuck who is that?" my friend says. "OOOOO a twin" my other friend shouts. I do not say anything more, I just stare at them both as they talk. My mind was fucked at this point.
