CRUSH

I'm a junior at a popular high school in Pasadena, California. I just moved here from Chicago and was really looking forward to all the cute boys I heard were in California. There were a lot to choose from, but one boy in particular caught my eye. I'm not gonna say his name, but he sure caught my eye the moment I saw him. He's a junior also and the object of a lot of girls desires. I found myself really starting to like him, cause he was just a really great person on the inside. And very easy to look at :~). During 2nd semester is when I realized that I was moving past liking him, and moving into "infatuation" territory. Which was kind of new for me. At first I confused it with love, but then my friends quickly straightened me out since me and the boy hadn't even gone out yet. I had began to notice that he would stare at me in class, and smiles at me when I catch him staring. He started to talk to me more outside of class too. He would ask questions like he was trying to get to know me. after we exchanged numbers he would call me every night. It seemed like there was never a dull moment on the phone. We had started hanging out with each other more and more. One night on the phone in the middle of the conversation he said "I love you". GASP! I almost swallowed my tongue. Did he just say to me what I had been thinking about him all this time. He must have thought I was sucked into a vacuum cause I was just speechless. I finally, after what seemed like an eternity, mustered up the courage to say "I love you too". He said told me that he was serious and I assured him I was too. After that conversation our relationship took off and I was so happy. I got the man of my dreams and became the envy of all girls in school. Gosh, life sure is good!
