Search Results: smiling back at her

Here's my story:

I attended a fun summer daycare (not for babies) and met my crush there. I was hanging out with my best friend while she chatted with the person in charge. That person told me, "You are the shyest person I have ever met. Well, you and [my crush]." I was curious, asking myself, who could that be? The very next day, he sat next to me on the bus. He's pretty cute, and I began to develop feelings for him.

A whole year passed, and I hadn't revealed my crush or talked to him. Finally, I gathered the courage to tell my sisters. This turned out to be a mistake. They told my best friend and then my crush. When my best friend and I discovered that my sister spilled the beans to my crush, she insisted that I talk to him (for the very first time!). I said, "I don't know what she's talking about. I have nothing to say to you." I was so mean and embarrassing, right?

After that, his behavior became quite strange. He would always be right in front of or behind me in line, sit across from me on the bus, and twice, he followed me around when my best friend was out sick or something. One time, after being away for two weeks, I returned and was walking to the end of the line when I turned to see him staring and smiling widely at me. I literally jumped!

A few years later, on a Monday, I told the person in charge that my last day would be that Wednesday, and my crush stood next to her, looking a bit sad. Typically, we'd go to the pool on Wednesdays, but he always skipped because he didn’t like it or something. However, on that Wednesday, he came, but only to avoid going to the pool. He stayed out of the pool and watched everyone else swim (including me!). (It was my last day, not everyone else’s, which made me suspicious.) Later that day, at pickup, he stood in the middle of the hallway and watched me leave. So, what do you think? Does he like me back, or am I just imagining things? ❤
