I look across the field, and feel my heart break into small tiny pieces. He's standing there talking to Caitlyn. He's the most popular guy at school, why the hell would I think he would like me? Why would Justin choose me? I'm a nobody, he's absolutely perfect. He turns away from Caitlyn and drop my gaze when he looks straight at me. Great, now he probably thinks I'm a stalker. I look at him once more and see that he's heading straight at me. Play it cool!

"Hey gorgeous." he says, his eyes smoldering. So damn sexy.


"H-h-hi." I mutter. I muster a smile, but I'm sure it looks like a grimace.


"What's wrong? Did I tell you how pretty you look today?" My cheeks burn brightly most likely turning a scarlet red. I can't even look him in the eye.


"Come on, you look so much prettier when you smile." His sweet words finally get to me and I break into shy smile.

Justin is the only one who can manage to make my heart skip beats but hurt me at the same time. I know don't have a chance, but I still hold onto that blind hope.

"Justin...I..." I hear someone call his name. He turns and smiles, signaling for the person to hold one. He turns back to me.


"I gotta go. I'll text you, okay?" He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me in for a tight hug. I inhale his sweet, sweet smell and nod. He pulls away and I watch him walk away wishing he could stay here with me.
