She Knew
As luck would have it my crush was on the same bus as me. We lived in a rural area so that meant spending 45 minutes together every afternoon.
One day they got to chatting about crushes and possible future boyfriends. My crush jumps around in her seat (she sat in front of me), and playfully asks “do YOU have a crush?!”.
“EGADs”, I thought. could this be my chance to profess my love for this beautiful girl? In front of her friends and other snot-nosed peers?
“y-yes, I do.” I managed to nervously squeak out. “Who?” she asked inquisitively.
This was the make-or-break moment of my life. Tell her how you feel and live happily ever after. Nope. “Well” my brain went completely blank. “some GUY.”
As soon as the words came out of my mouth I regretted them. I knew from this point forward I stood no chance. I was now the “maybe gay guy that professed his love for a dude”.
Grade 9 grad she singled me out for a slow dance, though. She asked me and everything. She knew. Story credit: Reddit / noocuelur
