Is something bothering you?
Oh c'mon I can tell you're lying
okay fine I'm just upset because I think my crush likes someone else
What makes you think that?
bc she is always with this other guy and holding hands and stuff
How do you know they're not just friends? Maybe they're just being friendly.
even if it is what can I do
You can talk to her. Tell her how you feel and let her know that you're interested in her.
Don't worry, I'll help you. We can practice together. I'll be there to support you when you talk to her.
Great! Let's set a plan for when we'll talk to her. How about tomorrow after school?
Perfect! Let's meet at her locker right after school tomorrow. We'll take a deep breath, gather our courage, and go talk to her together.
the next day me and Irene approach my crush and tell her we like her
grabs WhisperingWillow's hand and walks up to their crush together Hey, um... can we talk to you for a minute?
smiles warmly at WhisperingWillow It's okay, don't worry. Just take a deep breath and speak from your heart. You got this.
nods encouragingly That's right, WhisperingWillow. Take a deep breath and let your feelings flow. Remember, honesty is the best policy.
we walk away because my crush said she likes someone else and we just walked away
wraps an arm around WhisperingWillow's shoulder Hey, it's okay. It hurts, I know. But remember, rejection is not a reflection of your worth.
I know it's hard right now, but trust me, things will get better. You'll find someone who appreciates you for who you are.
leans in closer, whispering Hey, you know what? Let's take a break from all this. How about we go grab some ice cream?
