This story is a real story. On the first semester of 6th grade. I met a cute girl, she walked past me and it felt like a small but gorgeous flower. I had a crush on her afterwards. As a sixth grader, I was dumb. So I decided to leak everything I feel about her and started simping. Oh I bet she was surprised too. It did take a long time before her friends asked her to ask me who I liked. Of course, my dumb self immediately told her. It was fine at first but I was too young so my indecisiveness basically strangled our relationship at that point and til this point. I would walk with her everywhere I go without giving her much room with her friends. A bit manipulative of me I must say. After a while she got tired of how manipulative and dumb I was so she decided to write a full paragraph stating how she didn't like me and such. That was my first lesson. Skipping three years, I've changed. I'm taller now( obviously), potentially less dumb and know how feelings work. This year, it was weird. I was having my fun time at school with friends. Now she would notice me more, which was definitely strange. I would chat to her time to time as she unblocked me a few years prior. Something was going on, a few weeks ago. She made a move. Jumped touched me and asked if I wanted her to carry my bag. Oh boy was I shocked. I knew exactly that it was a joke but from the inside, it was tingling like before. This time, I knew something was going on. But it was not my intention to ask her out for a few months because test was pretty near and I've been trying to make my parents proud. Was it worth it? Yes, but at what cost... She has started to chat in a mono-cold tone and I can feel it. She started being closer to one of my good friend. Of course, I knew that they were close with each others for years now but this is the first time they've done something more than friends. Have I missed my chance? Probably. Maybe I was really unlucky. If she had waited, she would have gotten it. Oh well.
