I like the way you said jokes in almost every sentence you say and I would try to joke along with you. I like the way that you smile and how you would chuckle whenever you are alone with your thoughts. I like it when we sometimes walked around lunch, just the two of us while you sold chips, rice krispies, and cookies to the other students. I like it when we are in chess club and we play almost exclusively to each other. I like how we sometimes try to secretly play games in chemistry and how we created spider-boy. I really like the way that you are such an amazing friend and just enjoy eachothers company.

I was completely oblivious to all of these thoughts.

But then a few days ago in class, you were talking to a girl and I wished that you were talking to me and got slightly jealous.

I never got jealous before.

I thought to myself that I wouldn't be that person who would get jealous whenever you talked to someone. But then she pushed back your hair to see your earrings and I was even more jealous.

I thought Oh no! I am that person. 

And at that moment I realized I have a crush on you.

Now I'm just wondering how I didn't realize this all sooner and I'm really grateful that I got jealous or else it would have taken me later to realize this. Even if you end up with someone else, I just hope we still are friends.

I hope I'll control my jealousy when the time comes, because they would be lucky to date you.
