-Thursday, August 20-  (Levi's pov.)

The whole day I've been avoiding Brett at all costs. Thankfully we don't have any classes together. Now it's lunch time and I'm sitting by Julia as they're making me tell them all I know about Brett. Soon they stop me and ask "Now, how does he make you feel?"

I take a few seconds to think about what they said before answering. "Well.. He makes my heart feel kind of weird, and he makes me want to tease him.. The more we hang out, the more nervous I get around him. I also tend to find my thoughts filled with him."

"Yeah, you like him." Julia replies, eating their food. The rest of lunch I zone out, only thinking about what they said.

-after lunch-

I keep wondering how I've fallen for him so fast, but I doubt he likes me back so I don't have much to worry about. That thought makes my mood lower a bit. "Why do I even like him?" I think.

I hurry to my next class, trying to avoid running into Brett but as fate has planned, I run into him. That's not the worst though. Oh no, definitely not the worst. Because as soon as I found the corner, and run straight into him, I knock both of us to the ground. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately if the circumstances were different,.. And were weren't in the middle of the hallway with students bustling to get to their next class.

I quickly stand up and offer him a hand. "I'm glad I ran into you. Well, not literally. That kinda hurt. Anyway I wanted to talk to you about something." "You do?" I nervously answer. Damnit Levi, get ahold of yourself.

"Yeah. I wanted to ask you why you've been avoiding me."  "I.. I haven't been avoiding you though?"  "Levi, it's obvious you have been." "Oh..." I take a mental note to be less obvious the next time I'm avoiding someone.

"So.. Why? Did I do something wrong? I thought you liked 'annoying' me." He makes quotation marks in the air when he says "annoying". " I um.. You didn't do anything wrong, I've just.. Got a lot on my mind ya know?"  "I get that I guess. But I kinda missed you at lunch." "Really?" "Yeah, it was boring without you."

I hate to admit this but when he said that, my heart felt weird. I quickly make up some excuse to get out of there before I end up embarrassing myself any more.

-time skip to Tuesday, August 25-

Over the weekend I've had a lot of time to think about my feelings and.. I've decided to tell Brett. Or at least be open with him that I like someone.. Julia's forcing me- They said telling him would help so I could move on quicker if he doesn't like me.

I plan to tell him at lunch. Of course not in the lunchroom. Outside is much better. Soon enough it's lunchtime and I'm regretting my decision to tell him.

I asked Julia if they could tell Brett to meet me under the big oak tree outside. I'm waiting for him under it, planning exactly what to say. Ok, more like panicking my ass off. "I'm not ready for this. Oh god I'm going to embarrass myself aren't I? What if he hates me afterwards.. I don't think I could handle that." I think while trying to calm down.

How bad can this be. I just tell him then run away and move states. Easy. But then I'll never know his answer.. Ok, I'll listen to his answer then move. Perfect plan right?

Unfortunately he arrives rather quickly and we're awkwardly staring at each other. "So, what did you wanna say?" Brett thankfully saves me from any more awkwardness. Well, he would have if I didn't plan on telling him I like him right now.
