"It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love."
~ Miguel de Unamuno

Her fingers were shaking as they made their way toward the dial of the phone; her other hand wrapped around the smooth plastic of the phone itself, slowly bringing it up to her ear.
She hesitated.
She couldn't do it.
What was she thinking?
She scanned her eyes over to the alarm clock on the far side of the desk. It was 10:45. He was probably sleeping by now. Who was she kidding, he wasn't sleeping... but still, this was crazy.
Her heart was beating faster and she could feel her anxiety slowly begin to replace that intense feeling deep inside of her. All the thoughts that were racing through her mind only ten minutes ago was what led her to this moment. It started with her laying in bed, trying her hardest to drift off to sleep.
She never usually went to sleep at this time, but for some reason she decided she should go to sleep earlier; clearly that plan failed.
As she lied there, eyes closed, hoping that familiar wave of exhaustion would wash over her, she began to think of him.
She always thought of him.
Johnny lawrence, the most intimidating and attractive boy at school; and also her boyfriend of almost 10 months.
They'd been friends for a while, their friendship beginning the day they were assigned partners in anatomy. She always had her eye on him before then, like almost every girl did. but unbeknown to her, he felt the same.
So when they were able to actually get to know each other that day, it was the best day of both of their lives. She was a bit nervous at first, johnny had a reputation that everyone knew about, but when she started to get to know him that very first day he was anything but that; and she fell fast.
He was charming and funny, and very sweet to her, he was also very nervous. Johnny found that she was the only person he ever felt like that with. she was the only person he ever felt that way for.
Even before they became boyfriend and girlfriend, and even best friends, he knew he was in love with And that's how he confessed his feelings to her, after 3 months of being friends.
He told her he was in love with her.
It was completely true.
She was the only person he truly cared so much for. The only person that made him feel as happy as he did. The only person he felt like he could truly be himself around.
