Julie sat in the lunchroom with Melanie next to her. She noticed the way her friend looked slightly anxious, her eyes darting towards the entrance doors of the lunchroom.
"Did you speak to Conner?" asked Julie, and Melanie turned to look at her before shaking her head.
"I haven't seen him for two days. I didn't know it was going to be this awkward for him," replied Melanie, and a sigh escaped from her lips. "I was hoping it wouldn't be like this, after all, we have been friends for so long. But now I wonder if he's doubting something."
Julie slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "Doubting what? It isn't a crime to like or love someone, Mel. I am sure he knows that. Maybe he's just feeling bad for not noticing your feelings before."
