"Go, just say hi!" My best friend whisper shouted and pushed me towards HIM. I planted my feet firmly on the ground and pushed back, winning.

"No! I can't, it's not that simple," I growled. Everyday this kid tries to get me to talk to him.

"How do you get more simple than hi!? Or hello?" He turned his foot and pushed harder. The ground was slipping from beneath my soles. At least he hadn't seen the little comotion over here.

"It's complicated, just give it up!" I turned 180 and twisted out of his range. I bolted silently from the cafeteria to the girls bathroom, where he couldn't get in. I locked myself in one of the stalls, exhausted.

My phone started blowing up with texts from my best friend... Most were the usual "Why won't you talk to him??" or rather intense rants with strong language and furious emojis.

Why won't he understand that's it's not that simple. I can't just say hi to my crush


I haven't talked to him in three years!!
