I was in grade 8 when I fell for him. He looked mysterious to me, because he always wears his hat. Well, of course he’s a hockey player that’s why. Everyday, I would always stare at him until he removed his hat and fixes his hair. I was amazed, and you know what’s weird? It was in slow motion, then this girl right here fell in love. I would always stay in the classroom to wait for him to arrive, but there’s times that they have a game or he’s sick. One day, he injured his knee from playing and I was really worried, but since we’re not that close I can’t help him because I was shy too. But I faced my fears and asked him if he‘s alright, and if I can write my signature on his cast, he agreed. My feelings grew when we were playing Lord of the Rings, he held my hand for 2 seconds, and I prayed that it would last longer, but it didn’t.

Now I’m in grade 9 and I still like him, but I didn’t tell anyone about it. You know what happens when someone tells your crush that you like him; I was scared that if he knew he would avoid me and won’t talk to me anymore. When I like someone, I would always pick on them or try everything just so they notice you. So everytime my friends asked if I like him I would deny it, but deep inside my organs would scream at me for not telling them the truth. He was friends with my friend, and it helped me to have a conversation with him. Eventually, I got to know more about him. He was goofy and nice, and kinda crazy but that’s what makes him special. One afternoon, our science teacher made us get a partner and we have to look each other on the eyes. My goodness gracious he was my partner, and we were staring at each other, but I can’t focus since my insides were screaming, and my teacher notice that I wasn’t being serious so she changed my partner and so on.

Finally, I’m in grade 10 but he still doesn’t know that I like him. I can only get to see him in the morning, because we have different classes in the afternoon. Now I “barely” talk to him, and I heard that he’s dating someone, but my feelings for him won’t change. As long as I can see his cute face everyday I’m good with that.
