I hadn’t expected my day to end like this. I had gone to school thinking it would be a perfectly ordinary day, and now I was sat on my couch at a time I rarely saw with this guy who drove me absolutely crazy for all the wrong reasons.
This conversation was something I had hoped for and dreaded in equal measure, and now that I was sat here next to him at last it was no easier to know what to say.
I did want to give him a chance, and I wanted to say that whole cliched “my heart says yes but my mind says it would be a really stupid idea” thing.
He deserved a better response than that, but I was just sat here staring at him like I was caught under a spotlight and he was getting really nervous about the silence. Or at least I thought he was - I guess there was no way I could know for sure.
