I'm panicking. The bell rings for lunch. I have to get there before he does. So I can be honest. My heart starts pounding as we walk away from our group. Before I could think, I told him. I told him I liked him, I told him I didn't want to be "just friends". Then I stopped, when I had realized what I had just done I froze. He pulled me into a hug and said "I know". A smile broke out on my face, I thought to myself, 'Why was I so scared?'. Wrapped in his arms I sat there, never feeling better. The weeks pasted and things started to fall apart. Slowly we started slipping away from each other. Then the question that had to be asked - What's happening? - finally did. What I had been told was true. I was wasting my time. He doesn't want a relationship. He doesn't want me. When he told me "Why chase something you want, when if you look behind you, you'll see what you need?" I'm not hurt. I'm disappointed, He let me think we had a chance.
