I was now ready to do what I hoped for. I practiced this over and over and over last night. Hope everything just works out alright.

I walk up to him, my legs shiver as if it was ice, cold winter, but it was literally burning out here. And this blazer isn’t even helping. He was talking to one of his friends and I called him over. He waved me he’d come in a second.

After what felt like a year he came. Walking like he was listening to music. We said hi. For a moment I was forgetting all the words that I was practicing the previous night. But they came back.

Still I was sweating and uncomfortable with talking to him. How the hell does he make me feel this way.

I breathed and started talking, the words I spoke stuttered as they came out. After a minute of talking I finished. He finally knew. He looked at me sadly and my heart sank. He already had someone and that was that.

All the girls liked him. And so did I. But what bothered me was that girl. She always seemed to flirt with him, hit him lightly as if to lure him in and it worked. He told me he had a girlfriend but now he had her.

He lied. He didn’t want me. Why? He chose her over someone he knew for at least two years, me. I thought he liked me. Looks like I was wrong.
