At lunch Tyler and I finished our food and went outside. I wasn't attacked since he was with me. My dream came back to me over and over. I just could not get it out of my head. We walked over to the wall and sat down in a quiet area with nobody in ear shot.
"Tyler, I h-have something to tell you."
"You can tell me anything, you know that."
"This has been on my mind a while..." I can't stop now, it's too late. I have to tell him. "I um, I really like you, n-not just as a f-friend o-or b-best fr-friend, but as... something... m-more."
His expression changed from a gentle smile into a surprised smirking face. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I whimpered.
"You finally said it."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you just confessed your love to me didn't you?"
I blushed as I looked into his eyes. "Y-yeah, I d-did, but what do you mean by finally?"
"I suspected that you liked me in that way for a while now. I just wanted confirmation."
"So your not mad? You don't mind? Wait, you knew?"
"Of course I'm not mad and yes I knew. I was just waiting because..."
"Because what?"
"Because I liked you that way too. For a long time now. That's why I had a sort of instinctual need to protect you."
I was shocked. I thought he would abandon me or join the bullies. Yet he returns my feelings.
My thoughts were interrupted when he spoke again. "Come over to my place later, I have a reward for you."
"A reward for what?"
"Confessing of course!"
My mind instantly went back to my dream.
