Ever since that fateful day when I met her I was getting bullied like I usually do for being extremely nice and never telling a lie. She came out of nowhere and yelled at them saying DON'T BULLY HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS A NICE GUY at the top of her lungs.
They looked like they were about to say something but quickly left because the teachers wanted to see what all the racket was about. Ever since then I have been in love with Alice we became friends but I never had the courage to ask her out.
So we continued being friends we always talked and did schoolwork together. Until I finally had the courage to ask her out but before that, I wanted to go to my best friend for advice he knew I liked someone but I never told him who.
His name was Rolan he had been my best friend for a long time he had more experience than I had with girls so I asked him for some pointers and asked how I should ask the girl out.
He then said that I should do it the classic way by putting a letter in her locker and asking her out.
I said why can't I just text her and he said wait you already have her number and I said yeah. Then he said that makes things a lot easier and said then why not just text her.
I asked if that was the best idea since I was just joking before and he said if you already have her number then she should know you right? ask her out to go eat or see a movie or something slapping my back and laughing.
Then he said go get her tiger then he left. So I decided to go text her I went through my messages and found Alice and clicked on it and stared at it for almost 15 minutes having a lot of doubts in my head then I decided to just not do it I quickly left school and went home.
Threw my phone on the bed and quickly fell asleep, when I woke up it was in the middle of the morning I looked at the clock and it said 3:00 AM I sighed and got my phone and saw that I had a text message from Alice she asked if I wanted to go out on a date as friends but the message was from 4 hours ago.
What if she thinks I ignored her and that I don't want to go right when I was about to respond I thought about how if I text her so late then she might wake up and not be able to go back asleep so I thought it was best if I waited until tomorrow at school. But since so much happened I got no sleep and was constantly thinking about planning the date as a friend thing with Alice.
When we got to school I quickly searched for Alice and found her then agreed to go out on a date with her and explained how I fell asleep as soon as I got home. She started to laugh while my face was probably as red as a tomato.
Then after school, we agreed that tomorrow (Saturday) we were going to go out to dinner at 6:00 PM I quickly went home to plan I went over all the details to make this the perfect date got my best clothes looked at the menu of the fancy and expensive restaurant we were going to I already had my order ready and fell asleep I woke a little before lunch and all I could think about was the date.
I played games until 5:00 when I started to get ready for the date with Alice I took a shower put on my clothes and headed out. when I got to the restaurant she was not there yet I quickly sat down and stared at the entrance from the corner of my eye waiting for her to come through the door.
At exactly 6:00 she came through the door and I saw her walk towards me she was in beautiful clothes she had a somewhat tight T-shirt and jeans with a necklace with her hair down she sat across from me and asked how long had I been here and I said I got here a while ago and she looked somewhat upset then asked why I got here so early and I said I just wanted to be here before you got here.
She smiled and then looked down at the menu and asked what are you getting I immediately answered what I wanted to order and then she smiled again so you looked at the menu before you came here.
I said yeah she smiled and laughed and said well so did I then we both laughed then the waitress asked what we wanted and we gave her our orders.
We talked a little and ate our food until it was time to leave we left and got outside until she stopped walking on the sidewalk and said the reason why I asked you out today was that I needed to tell you something she blushed slightly rubbing her arms together her long blond hair was flowing in the wind as she said I have someone I like or maybe in love with I don't know I've never experienced feelings like this before.
My heart was beating so fast I could fill it throughout my whole body my face was red I could feel my face getting redder by the second and she said I think I might be in love with Rolan.
At that moment I had no idea what to do except stand and look at my lifelong crush confess her feelings for my best friend I looked at her and smiled anyone could tell it was fake and then I asked so why did you tell me?
I said politely then as soon as I thought the situation couldn't get any worse she said I want you to help me get closer to him I looked at her with a confused look on my face and asked how long she had been in love with him and she said around the time I introduced the two of them.
Then I said okay I need some time to think about it she looked confused but she said okay. She left and said okay bye thanks for dinner we should do this again I smiled back but didn't say anything I had no idea what I should do.
