“So today, HE FINALLY TALKED TO ME!” Ginny screamed, causing a few heads to turn our way. We were sitting in a booth at the caf and I was absent-mindedly sipping my iced cappuccino while Ginny was doing amazing hand gestures, nearly knocking her cup over. “Uh huh, how?” I asked, not really paying attention. My mind was still on the hug Johnny gave me almost an hour ago. It’d felt so warm, and felt so right. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds before he broke away, saying he had to meet a friend and that he’ll see me in class. “So like, I was soooo desperate today. He was sitting like, right in front of me and I decided to do the classic trying-to-get-him-to-look-at-me trick. So I…hello? Are you even listening?” Ginny stopped talking and poked me. “Huh? Oh yeah, I am, sorry! Keep going”, I shook my head out of my day dream. “Ok! Where was I? Right! So I ‘dropped’ my pencil on the ground, and he picked it up for me and turned around and asked ‘Did you drop this?’ and oh, my gosh, I think I died when he looked at me. I don’t even remember if I replied haha! Oh my gosh, such a good day today!” Ginny giggled and smiled weirdly. I started laughing uncontrollably. Ginny was unbelievable! I suddenly stopped laughing, an uncomfortable feeling starting to rise in my stomach. Wasn’t that what I did with Johnny? Dropped my pen and he helped me pick it up? Oh my…
“Lina?” Ginny startled me out of my thoughts again. “Yup?” I asked. “You ok? You don’t seem to be yourself today…you seem like you’re somewhere else”, Ginny said, confused. “Oh, I’m sorry”, I said, sighing. “What’s up?” she asked, concerned. Should I tell her? She is my best friend after all…and she’s been telling me about her crazy crush on this guy… Taking a deep breath, I told Ginny everything that had happened between me and Johnny, from the day we met, to how I hated him, and ending with the hug that just happened moments ago. “Well, do you like him?” Ginny asked. Sighing, I replied, “You know, I’ve been asking myself that every single time I talk to him for the last couple of days. I really don’t know. There are times when I feel like I do, but other times, I feel like we’re just normal friends. I don’t know why I can’t stop thinking of him though”, I said. “Oh, maybe you do like him! Do you want to be with him?” she asked. “I don’t know”, I sighed again. “Well, you could try to stop the more-than-friendly feelings, and try to stop thinking about him?” Ginny offered. “Yeah, I guess I could try. See where I go from there?” I asked, more to myself. “Yeah! Do that! I’m sure you’ll find out if you like him or not soon!” Ginny smiled. “I hope so, thank you so much Ginny!” I gave her a big hug. “No problem! That’s why we’re best friends!” she laughed. I laughed too. I was so lucky to have such a great friend like her.
