There he is. Standing, laughing with that perfect smile on his face. His glasses sitting perfectly on the bridge of his nose. His skateboard in his right hand and his Spanish book in his left hand. And here I was. Sitting 5 lunch tables away from him. Watching him through the strands of hair on my face.
*Ring ring ring* There goes the lunch bell. Time to go to class. Unfortunately I have no classes with him. I stand up and throw away my lunch, which wasn’t so tasteful. Out of the corner of my eye I see him walking my way. I act very calm and laugh along with my friends. When he passes by me he nudges me with his elbow and says, “Hey Ivy”. I smile and say “Hey Tyler”. I can feel my cheeks turn a bright pink. But he doesn’t notice. I don’t have any classes with my friends so I walk alone to class and smile to myself. I sit through 2 hours of physics. Daydreaming. I can’t get his smile out of my head. He’s not perfect but that’s what I like about him. I just like everything about him. From his eyes to his smile to his goofiness.
And finally the bells rings to go home. I quickly pack all of my things and leave the classroom. My favorite part of the day is going home because he walks me home. I wait outside the school gates for him with my best friend Jessie. While we talk about our day someone comes up behind me and covers my eyes. I know its him but he still makes me guess who it is. I say a bunch of random names before saying his. When I say his name he uncovers my eyes and asks the same question as always. “How did you know?” and laughs. I laugh along with him and we start walking home.
I don’t have any books in my hands so I offer to carry his Spanish book. And I carry it. While we are walking my hand lightly touches his and I feel a shock of electricity shoot up my arm. I instantly smile and he asks why I smile. I say, “oh it’s just a nice day outside today.” I playfully punch his arm and he softly taps my cheek. I laugh and pretend to be mad at him for wanting to slap me. He gets close and hugs me and apologizes. I can feel his breath on my neck. I turn to look at him and his eyes are focused on mine. I have never been so close to his face before. His eyes are big and round. I keep my eyes locked on his. My heart is practically jumping out of my chest because for a minute I thought he was going to kiss me. But I get so nervous that I turn away and laugh. He laughs also. We walk a whole block without saying a word to each other. We stop and wait for the red light to turn green. There are so many things I want to do at this moment. I just want to grab his hand and entwine my fingers in his. I want to tell him all of the feelings I have for him. I want to say how nervous he makes me. How I get so happy when we’re alone. How I love it when he covers my eyes and makes me guess. How my cheeks turn bright pink whenever he flashes his perfect smile at me. But I say nothing. The light turns green and he finally says something.
“So how has your day been so far?”
“Its been good.”
And just like that the conversation dies.
There’s so much I want to tell him right now. But I’m afraid. Afraid of him saying he likes me just as a friend. I would rather be friends with him and keeping my feelings for him a secret than to lose him as a friend. I look at him and he’s looking right back at me.
I just can’t take it anymore. I can’t keep these feelings inside of me anymore. I have to tell him. But how? How do I tell him I might possibly be in love with him? How do I tell him I don’t want to be his friend anymore? I want to be his girlfriend. There’s so many thoughts running through my mind. And the next words that come out of my mouth are…
“Tyler I need to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“I need to tell my true feelings about you. I don’t like you just as a friend. I like you more than a friend. I think I might even be in love with you. You probably don’t feel the same way but I just had to tell you how I really feel. I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. I really hope we can still be friends even now that you know how I truly feel.”
“Ivy I ne-“
“Please don’t let this ruin our friendship. I understand if you just want to remain friends.”
“Ivy I want to tell you that I feel the exact same way. You have no idea how nervous you make me. I always look forward to walking you home because I just like being with you. I never told you anything because I wasn’t sure if you felt the same way.”
And then what I’ve been waiting for so long happens.
He hugs me and his chin is on my head. I look up at him and he leans down slowly. My heart is pounding so hard I feel like it’s going to come right out of my chest. I feel my knees get weak. I close my eyes and he kisses me. It’s my first kiss and it’s the best moment for me.
“Ivy, will you finally be my girlfriend?”
“Yes!”
1 year later I’m getting ready for prom. I have the most amazing boyfriend ever. He’s not just my boyfriend but he’s also my best friend.
