I'm confused- beyond confused at the moment.
The guy I like- we'll call him D- hasn't seen me for almost two weeks. He hasn't really shown signs of liking me...at all, to be honest. He treats all the girls in our group the same.
I've been having doubts on my crush towards him lately, but something today really has be stirred up.
~So, I'm sure everyone knows what 'Rachel's Challange' is. Yes, the Columbine incident of 1999. The group visited our school today. Z, my best gal pal, was off at her art lesson as usual for the first few hours of the day. B, D's friend, who hates me,who thinks every person in the Military aside from the Army is weak[Sack of crap's going to get put into his place the minute he's alone with someone who's parent/family is a veteran or serving, I tell you.], and constantly makes fun of me, was no where to be seen. K, our 6th grade friend, shares D, Z, and I's P.E. hour. Anywho.
The assembly was going to take place during 2nd hour.
I would have walked with Z, but she had left for her art lesson.
But, I had D with me, and, sadly, B tagged along. The minute he began insulting the Military, D pushed him away and we continued walking to the gym.
The girls sat away from the guys on the bleachers, as there was no need to dress out.
Having enough of sitting alone on my side, I got up and walked to K and D, standing beside them until they noticed.[Note:: wearing jeans, tee-shirt, and cowboy boots that make me stand nearly at D's height. And no, I'm not..that short. He's..taller than me TT-TT] D moved over and I sat beside him, though at an alarming closeness. I felt heat radiating off of his leg, but I didn't mind- only when he moved away did I mind. I pulled him a bit closer, like I tend to do, and leaned my shoulder against his, taking out my phone and my Pokemon book from my purse. We started a 30-minute long conversation.
We needed to move by the other side of the bleachers. We all did, and D and I sat at the very top, waiting for B. B eventually came over. Z never came.
It's during the assembly that things got interesting.
The assembly made me cry twice. The first time, I sucked it up, simply leaning my head on his shoulder. I calmed down after that, but a teacher said I'm not aloud to have my head on anyone's shoulder.[Because apparently that's automatically PDA.]
The second time, however, I had leaned forward, covering my mouth and eyes with my hands, on the verge of sobbing. I was silent, but tears had began to roll down my cheeks, cold and damp.
After a moment, I felt something warm touch my cheek. Opening one eye, I noticed D sliding his finger downwards on my cheek, whipping my tears away. Smiling, I sniffled, rubbing my nose and eyes and leaning back.
"...Thanks.." I thanked, and he smiled, nodding. "You're wel-"
The teachers silenced us.
At the end of the assembly, we were told to talk to the people we care the most about in the next 3 days and tell them how much we love them, care for them, and show it. We, all 900 students and probably 200 staff, yelled,
"We accept !"
We had a few minutes to talk while the lower grades were dismissed.
Leaning my head on his shoulder, I told him his shoulder was soft. He laughed a bit. Then, with a burst of courage, I began. "You know how much I care for you, right ?"
"Right." He replied.
"And you know that I can't bear the thought without you ?"
"Yeah."
At this point, I was blushing.
"..Good.."
"Yeah.."
after a moment of akward silence, I lifted my head a bit.
"...Can I have a hug ?" I asked, voice quieting[..?]
"Sure." He replied in his nonchalant tone.
B was silent at the moment.
D turned and we hugged, and I'll admit, I felt my sick feeling n my stomach go away for a moment. My heart had skipped a beat, I tell you. And I felt.. relieved ?
But as he pulled away, I parted my lips to atleast try and peck a kiss on his cheek. He had moved so fast that my teeth had scraped his shirt instead. We laughed.
"Opps..I guess your shirt caught my tooth !"
We laughed even more, and we stood, starting to head back to class. He opened the door for me, and slammed it on B, four times in a row, and we walked to 4th hour together.
I have a feeling that he likes me, but then, Z and B keep telling me I have no chance, and that the feeling is one-sided, or that my feeling is just a puberty-friendship-thing. And that apparently I'm a freak, and multiple things, and that D thinks so.
Does anyone have advice ?
