"I, uhm, I have a crush on you, and I completely understand if you don't like me back." Her face was red, mine was too, probably. I didn't know what to say. I was so, so happy she had said this because now I had the opportunity to go out with the girl of my dreams. It was very awkward, and I felt so bad because I didn't know what to say. I kept on wanting to say things, but my brain wouldn't let me. She had to fill in the silence multiple times and I just felt so, so bad.
