dear landon,

you know i wish that you would be able to tell me how you feel sometimes.

"Hey clare! we're going on a class trip for Spanish class are you coming?" Tom asked as he came up from behind me.

"We are?"

"Yeah," he looked at the yellow slip and smiled, "Spain. it's in about three weeks."

Our schedule had all gotten switched all over. Landon and I still had Spanish as our last period but so far I hadn't heard anything about a trip.

"Well I guess I'll have to wait and see."

"Alright. I have math wouldn't want to upset Mr.Osborne right?"

I laughed, "Definitely don't want to be late for that class!"

I wast paying attention as I bumped into something rough and lost my balance causing me to land on the floor.

"Clare I'm so sorry!"

I looked up and saw the same guy that as of now I was friends with, Lance.

On our way to school from the mall the other day we talked and agreed we would be best as friends.

"It's fine. Don't worry."

I looked around for my bag and began to shove all my belongings inside. Good thing my phone wasn't in my bag since it would have ended up broken. It was in my pocket luckily in one piece with no cracks.

"Here let me help you," he extended his hand out as I took it into mine.

"Thanks," I told him as I jumped back up to my feet.

"I'm sorry I still feel bad. Can I make it up to you with Starbucks?"

Now I wasn't sure if that was him asking me out on a date again or if it was just as friends. But either way I decided that one date never hurt no one.

"Sure. Just tell me when."

"After school today, if you can?"

"Um y-yeah," I sighed, "I'll wait for you by the gates."

"Alright. See you in an hour!" He called out as he ran past me trying to make it to his class.

I saw Landon looking at me. I walked towards him smiling as he walked into room 132 where our Spanish class took place.

I walked in and sat in my usual spot .

"What's wrong with you?!"I asked him concerned but I received no reply or emotion from him.

The rest of the class proceeded the same way, me trying to get him to speak to me and him ignoring me. No I'm not making things up. I know he was ignoring me because whenever I tried speaking to him he never spoke but when the girl next to him asked him a question he smiled every single time and replied kindly. It was as if he wanted me to know he was ignoring me.

Once the bell rang as class ended he flew out of his seat as I ran after him yelling, "Landon wait up!"

Luckily I could stop running as he decided to stop.

"What's wrong?" I panted as I asked again as I had asked not too long ago.

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Can't you see I'm perfectly fine!"

"Landon come on," I begged, "Tell me what's wrong."

"No Clare! No! Just go have fun on your date with Lance!" He yelled causing me to freeze in my spot.

"Is this what this is about?" If I would have known this would upset him this much I wouldn't have accepted.

"Just d-don't come to me when you end up hurt."

But not everyone likes sharing their feelings do they?
