Ok, here's my story. Last year I came to a new school and after a few months I joined the school cricket team, and I was the only girl in the team (kinda an advantage and a diadvantage at the same time). After a while I started to like one of my teammates. Then at my high school orientation day, I was very pleased to see that he was going to my highschool, in my class AND sitting right next to me. Because it was only an orientation day it was just a look around the school, so it wasn't like it was going to be permanent, unfortunatley. Then when the school year started, I didn't talk and I just laid low. Then after a few more weeks, at Business, his best friend (at the time) turned around from his computer and faces me and said "Oi, Luke likes you," kind of in a whispery way. Then I glanced over at Luke. He said nothing but he was blushing up. I think a few days or so later grade 8 had a yr 8 day/night out and we went to the waterslide from 9am till 8pm. 11 long ours with Luke. Beats any normal school day. Then at the end there was a dance or disco thing. Fortunately I got to dance with Luke for a while. What I noticed is that when we were dancing he was just looking deep into my eyes. I said "What?" and he said, "oh, nothing". Then weeks later I started noticing he was starring at me from the other side of the room (of course I knew, I was looking at him too!
).
Then the new term started and I started to get closer to him. I got out my tennis ball and was throwing it with all my friends, and then for some reason that I forgot, I started pegging it at Luke for fun, then he pegged it back, probably aiming for my head. So we were doing that all lunch break that day, and for about the next week. Then we started to play a girls vs boys thing trying to keep the ball away from eachother. If the bell rang and the boys still had the ball, it would be really hard to get it off them. But most of the time we got it back. One day I found out that one of my friends liked Luke!!!!!!! I wasn't very happy with her, but I wasn't angry either. The good thing is that Luke denied he liked her and I could see he meant it. She didn't know back then that I liked Luke, and she doesn't know now. Then during english on one of the only days where we didn't have a seating plan, there were three spare seats beside me. Luke's friends cornered him in next to me. I was very happy, but I was trying to stop grinning but I couldn't. Because a few weeks earlier, one of my friends asked me who I liked one night at football (my brother and her brother were in the same team) and I wasn't going to tell. Then she started guessing so to prevent her from knowing too soon I let her only have one guess per day. Then one day she was guessing and my friends over heard it. Then Carrin whispered, "is it Luke?' and I say "Taylah's used up today's guess already" and then she goes "But is it him"" and I say "Yes" and then Katina made me tell her so now two of my friends knew.Then the new term started and during english our folders were placed on the desk where we were going to sit for the rest of the term. And guess who was sitting beside me!!!!!! Yep. LUKE!!! When I saw his folder I nearly screamed, and that is big because I rarely scream. For the first week we were very quiet. Then after a few weeks we started to get really close. He would show me his work. He'd ask for my rubber, I'd pinch my friend's rubber just to help him. Then I started to notice his foot was on mine. He knew it was there, but he didn't move it. I didn't know what that was supposed to mean. At SOSE lately I've been catching him even more looking at me from the side of the room. During one 35 minute lesson, I caught him looking at me 26 times (I was counting
). At maths he has been looking at me too. I've noticed it from the corner of my eye. At the Business thing last week he was throwing pieces of rubber or paper at me (from the back of the room!) so I would peg them back at him. We didn't get into trouble though. Just yesterday at another SOSE lesson I had my head on the desk during a PowerPoint we were supposed to be listening. Then Luke put his head on the desk and he was turning his head and looking at me. So I turned my head and looked at him, but I was listening at the same time, trying to anyway. So we were basically starring at eachother for most of the lesson except when we were doing work.
So that's my story. Does he like me? I really hope so, because this is probably one of the longest crushes I have had and the only one where I have started to actually feel some love back, ya know. If more stuff happens today I'll tell you guys about it.
Thanks, *~Jess~*
