Just like that Lily's childhood days passed without any guy interruption and she was now in her 8th grade. Like each passing year, new friends will come and go. In that year also, Lily made a BFF Marie.
While maybe this is the age at which boys are attracted to girls and girls are attracted to boys, her friend Marie used to tell her, how many boys are following her and how many proposed to her.
That's when it stuck to Lily and thought, 'Am I not pretty, why is there no boy following me and no one proposed to me.', while listening to her friend she was quite disappointed and started to compare herself with others girls who were openly or secretly proposed by others.
As days passed by Lily and her sister Maya were playing in their neighborhood with other kids, some boys came to them and said, "Why are you girls only playing with other girls, why not play with us."
Maya said, "Okay, we will play together, but we only know girl games do you know any interesting games."
Charlie replied, "We know plenty of games, where both girls and boys can play." Just like that they started playing together without any concern about going home. And every day they were so engrossed in playing that their moms started complaining.
One day Charlie started teasing Maya, who is older than him as he is the same age as Lily, but Lily got upset cause he was teasing someone else, not her. Then she realized that she had a crush on Charlie.
Our brave Lily mustered her courage and proposed to Charlie in her own way, by writing love quotes to him on his New Year greeting card. She thought no one would notice it, since she was giving cards to everyone who had a friendship quote.
After reading the love quotes in the greeting, some thoughts rose in his mind and started to look at Lily in a different way. One night after school was over, Lily came to her home and saw Charlie on his bicycle waiting at the start of their road.
She thought he was waiting for his friends, but to her surprise, he came to her and said, "After you gave me the New Year card I read those lines again and again. And checked with my sister's greeting card and other friends of ours, which are different from mine. My friends told me that u like me. I don't know if you intentionally or unintentionally wrote those quotes on my greeting card."
"But Lily, I think I like you, so take your time and reply to me, don't take a long time ah…." after saying those words he left, leaving our shocked Lily.
Never in her dreams, did Lily think her confession succeeded. She only wishes to express to him that he is different from others. She was so happy that she ran to her home after that.
And finally accepted Charlie's confession
