"Football is his life, it gives him popularity, and girls way beautiful than I will ever be. But I still hold on, turning away anyone who shows any interest, anyone who has the courage to ask me out knowing that rejection is always the answer I give. No one knows I love him, that I reject every other guy, no one knows that I wait for him. I've known him forever, we are friends but I want more." "I've always loved her. She's beautiful inside and out. Her beauty is astounding and she doesn't even know it. All the girls that fawn over me hate her because I only have eyes for her, it's obvious everyone sees it but her and I don't know why. I watch her turn away every guy who comes her way. This is what scares me what if she tells me no. I don't think I could take it. I have spent 5 years looking longing at her from afar. I'm finally going to make my move and if she says no I'll change her mind. I've known her forever, we are friends, but I want more. ** LOURDES JONES AND JAKE COLLINS
