“ I always did kind of like you , you ’ re such a nice guy and you ’ re handsome , but I don ’ t know . I need time .”
Alex did not want to wait , he wanted her now , but he reluctantly replied ,
“ Ok .”
As he waited , Alex had to be careful not to harass her with daily texts stating if she had made up her mind already . He would get depressed every time he checked his phone and saw nothing .
One day during lunch he was talking to his best friend Damian on the bleachers .
“ Dude I can ’ t take this anymore I want to know already .
“ She hasn ’ t said anything ?”
“ No , and I don ’ t want to pressure her , she might push me away . I really want her dude . Oh , she told me that she always kind of liked me so that gives me a good chance , not a lot of girls have told me that .”
“ Dude , but that ’ s not true , you remember my girlfriend ’ s best friend , Stacy , she left her boyfriend because of all of that drama , and then told me that she likes you , a lot .
“ Yeah but I didn ’ t see myself with her . I just didn ’ t like her ”
“ You should have just gone with Stacy , she would have loved you like for real .”
“ I know but … I wouldn ’ t have . Anyways , I was in love with Bella then , and I still am now .”
“ I don ’ t know dude , maybe Stacy could have grown on you .”
“ Is that love ?”
