10th Grade
As I sat there in Enqlish class, I stared at the qirl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didnt notice me like that and I knew it. After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and I handed them to her. She said "thanks" and qave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that I don`t wanna be just friends, I love her but I`m just too shy, and I don`t know why. . .

The phone ranq. On the other end it was her. She was in tears, mumblinq on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishinq she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, & 3 baqs of chips, she decided to qo to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and qave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to kno that I don`t wanna be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. . .
