"Wait what?" I ask him again.

"..Sab likes me," Alex nervously repeats.

Well that explains why she was like that the other night--with that glassy face. I turn on my glassy face, looking down to the ground, trying to process what he said. "How could you not tell me?"

"I was afraid of how you were gonna react," Alex explains, walking closer.

I look at him with a watering eyes. "B-but do you--"

"No never," he says, taking my hands. "It's you I like."

"Really?" I ask him.

"Yes--"

"Alex, you know that I would understand if you had told me," I try to tell him.

"..I dont know. I guess I was just scared," Alex shrugs.

"Well Alex, I gotta go," I tell him.

"Wait Sara," he tries to stop me.

"Bye, Alex," I tell him, turning around.

"Sara," Alex pauses.

"What?" I ask him.

"I love you," Alex finally says.

"...I don't know anymore.." I say, walking away.

I seriously don't know anymore, Alex.

Sara, you're so bad with hiding your feelings. Dear, this is gonna be easy getting you back.

--at the park--

"This better be worth my time, Youtube," Sara uses my old nickname.

"Trust me it will, Honeycomb," I use her recent nickname.

I get out my guitar.

I start strumming chords to "Does It Feel Like Falling."

I got stars in my eyes
And a sea in the dark
Just a word to the wise
Don't go tripping over your heart
'Cause it feels so fast
When you're going down
All you see is a flash
Like a boxer in the first round
Tell me that you're shook up like I am
Tell me how you feel I need an answer
