"I'm in love with you!" I said as my cheeks were flushing bright red.
My crush stood in front of me as I finally confessed my feelings to him. I waited for an reaction from him or a word. I've heard from my crush's friends that he doesn't crush on anyone but that hasn't stopped me from confessing my feelings to him. Maybe I could be different to him? My crush's name is Reginald but he goes by Reggie. He's pretty much the school's bad boy. I've liked him since I was a freshman and I've now gotten up enough courage to tell him how I feel. It would be a shame if he shot me down.
Reggie stared at me then he smirked. I wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not.
"That's a laugh." Reggie said then he actually started to laugh...in my face. I just stood there, feeling dumbfounded.
"Listen, i'm not gay, dude. I don't know who told you to hit on me or whatever but you should stop. It's creeping me out."
Ouch. I was definitely not expecting that. I had a feeling that I might get rejected but I didn't think that Reggie was going to be THIS harsh. I started to feel my chest squeezing my heart and a little dizzy. Oh boy. I REALLY hope that I don't pass out right now.
"Thanks for the laugh. Smell ya." He said then started to walk away. I stood there and watched him disappear down the hall and then...tears started to fall down my cheek. I quickly wiped them away so nobody would see that i'm crying. I really didn't want to go through explaining that I literately got my heart stomped on by the most cutest boy in school. I looked around the empty hallways. Right now, me and my class are doing projects in the library this period. I only got out because I told them I had to use the bathroom when in reality, I only came out to talk to Reggie because I heard that Reggie was skipping his class this period. I wiped the last few tears off my face then started to make my way back towards the library.

"Aww. He broke your heart. Miserably." My best friend Zoe said.
I nodded then crossed my arms on the library table and rested my chin on my arms.
"Are you going to go to the school's annual lock-in this Friday?" She asked.
I shrugged. "I don't know if I want to. What if Reggie goes?"
"I don't peg Reggie as the type of guy to go to school events. He hates school already." She said.
I nodded. "That makes sense...I guess." I sighed. "I dunno. I'll think about it."
Zoe started to look around the library. "Hey, isn't one of Reggie's friend's in our class this period? You can go ask him to see if Reggie will be going to the annual lock-in this Friday."
I pouted. "I dunno if I want to..."
"Want me to go ask then?"
I shrugged. "If you want."
Zoe nodded then stood up and walked over to Reggie's friend, Judas who always wore a beanie. Judas is Reggie's best friend and you can pretty much always see the two of them together, wrecking something. Zoe finally came back over after talking with Judas for a minute.
"He said yeah." Zoe said as she sat back down in her chair.
I slowly sat up and blinked my eyes. "Really? But Reggie always acts like he's too cool for school."
"I know but Judas said that Reggie told him that he's going. Even though Reggie hates school, he said that going to the school thing will keep him out of the house for the night. Things aren't so good between him and his parents right now." Zoe explained.
I nodded. I wondered what's going on between Reggie and his parents. And I wasn't sure if i'm happy that Reggie is going to the lock-in or not. I get to see him but then I kinda don't want to see him. Not after his harsh comments when I confessed to him.
"Alright....I guess i'll go."
Zoe smiled brightly. "Awesome!"
Suddenly, Judas walks over to our table. "Hey, dude and dudette. You guys going to the lock-in huh?" He asked.
Both me and Zoe nodded. "Awesome. Can't wait to see you there." Judas then looked at me and his smile grew larger. Judas is a pretty cute guy just like Reggie but he isn't really my type. He's more immature than Reggie and always says stupid stuff to get people mad at him. I don't even think he's Zoe's type. Hell, he probably isn't anybody's type.
"Well, laterz." Judas said then walked away. I watched him walk away before turning back to Zoe.
"He's weird isn't he?" Zoe said. I nodded. "Definitely."
"Every time he's around us, he gets so...I dunno how to put it."
"Not talkative?" I finished her thought.
Zoe nodded. "Exactly. He's normally the most talkative guy in Reggie's group but when he's around us, he goes silent. I wonder..."
Then, Zoe gasped. "What if he likes one of us!?"
"I doubt he likes me. Besides, he's not into guys is he?" I asked.
Zoe shrugged. "I don't think so. I know he used to have a crush on a girl in my Spanish class and that was like two months ago."
"Then that means he likes you right?" I questioned.
"Yeah but...Judas isn't my type. He IS cute, though. I don't know. I'll give it a shot." Zoe smiled.
"Good because you need some romance too and if I can't have any then i'm happy that you get some."
Zoe smiled brightly. "Aww. That's the most cutest thing you've ever said. This is why you're my best friend."
I giggled. I was starting to feel better about myself already. Yup. I'm definitely going to the lock-in. I can't let Reggie get me down. Even if he IS a bit harsh.
