She comes home from another tiresome day of school, tosses her backpack onto her bed, and skips downstairs for a snack. She reviews today’s events. He was there today, in her algebra class. It was hard for her to not stare at him. He had the most amazing, ocean blue eyes, and jet black hair.
Josh and Rissa are friends, but sometimes when they talk she feels the conversation can become awkrawd. Rissa worries about how she looks too much, especially when she is around a guy. Even for a guy she does not like she will try to look her best, but she never feels she’s good enough. Getting embarrassed around a guy would cause her to to cry into her pillows, or maybe even being too quiet in class, not talking to the boy she might possibly have a crush on.
He is important to her and she never wants to tell him. Past events have scarred her. She doesn’t want that again. She won’t be hurt. So she tries to block communication with Josh. Josh likes Rissa. Rissa likes Josh. They will never know.
