stuttering H-Hey... I-I know this is crazy, but I-I... really like you!
CrimsonLotus
Are you alright? You are a bit jittery, arent you?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Uh, yeah... I'm just... I'm just really, really nervous right now.
CrimsonLotus
well you are stuttering. What is it that you want to tell me?
takes a step closer, looking into CrimsonLotus's eyes I... I've had these feelings for you for years now.
CrimsonLotus
I listen intently
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I... I think I'm in love with you. I know it's probably a shock, but... it's the truth.
CrimsonLotus
I have feelings for you too…
smiles, her cheeks flushing with warmth R-Really? You... you feel the same way?
CrimsonLotus
mhm
laughs nervously Oh wow, um... I-I didn't expect you to say that. I mean, I've always hoped, but I never thought...
CrimsonLotus
that you would like me?
bites her lip, her heart pounding Yeah, I guess I didn't really think you'd feel the same way. I mean, I've been such a jerk to you...
CrimsonLotus
your not a jerk
teary-eyed, her voice shaking Th-Thank you... thank you for understanding. I've always wanted someone to see past my mean exterior and...
CrimsonLotus
of course I see past it. one day when we were playing basketball I saw you trip and fall and a boy pushed you and nobody helped you so I ran to you and helped you up and asked if you were alright and you said you were and I hugged you and you started to cry and I whispered that it’s ok and you’re safe now and I comforted you and held you and took away your pain
teary-eyed, wipes her tears You... you remember that? I thought nobody noticed, that I was all alone in my pain.
CrimsonLotus
how could I forget?

CrimsonLotus
