I was on my way to sixth period when I heard someone yell, "Wait!" behind me. All of a sudden, someone tapped me lightly on the shoulder and I turned around.

It was Hayley, the girl that had fainted earlier... and I had carried. As I saw her face again, I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks. I wanted to smack myself at that point. She was giving me the cutest, most sincere look ever with those big blue eyes. I was all of a sudden lost in them, gasping for air under that beautiful blue ice. She had long black hair tied back in a messy ponytail, the stray strands fighting for room in her narrow face.

Just then, I relaxed a little as I realized: She doesn't know who I am. She was unconscious when I carried her. But what does she want with me, then? I snapped out of the trance and asked her, "Uh, c-can I help you?" Ugh, I thought. Can't I say anything without stammering?

She said, "Yes. Um, my friend told me that you carried me to the nurse's office when I fainted earlier today. I just wanted to thank you for that, it was really, uh, sweet."

She knows?! I screamed internally, but then I saw the sincere look on her adorable face, and my brain registered her words. I felt my heart rate slowing down. "Oh, really? Thanks."

There was a pause. Then she broke the silence by saying, "Yeah, so I just wanted to tell you that."

"Okay," I said.

"Okay," she replied.

I had to leave. "I'm gonna go to, uh, class now."

"Yep, me too." She wrapped up the conversation. "Um, see you around?"

"Yeah." But a little while later, I heard her call, "Wait!"

I turned back around. "Yeah?"

She asked me for my name, and I told her, "Jasper."

"I like that name."

"Thanks." That was all I could say.

She seemed to be in a hurry too. "Okay, so I'm probably gonna be late if I don't go now. I'll, uh, see you around."

"You too."

"Okay. Bye." She ran off in the other direction, but I lingered there for a while. Hayley O'Connell, the quiet girl with the best looks in the tenth grade (in my opinion), has actually acknowledged my existence. She knows I exist, she knows my name, and she probably knows that I have a crush on her.

But I don't care that she knows this.

Because it's true.
