Throughout the rest of her project, she explains the things she learned about me. She writes about the simple things like my birthday, and the more complex things that she’s noticed, like the way I rock on my heels or the way I rub my nose. She’s noticed things I didn’t even know about myself.

But the last sentence is what changes everything.

As strange as this may seem, I think I’m falling for him.

I look up at Aiden, who is smiling widely. I shake my head quickly and scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

This can’t be real. She can’t really like me, can she?

“Does that give you your answer?” he asks, still smiling.

I nod slowly, and then, out of nowhere, I start crying. It starts slowly at first, but quickly speeds up.

Aiden jumps off his bed and sits beside me on the floor. I hate how I’m always crying now—I can’t seem to stop.

“Do you wanna go see her?” Aiden asks quietly.

I shake my head no.

“What’s wrong then?” he asks worriedly.

I point to myself over and over, but Aiden just looks at me with a confused expression.

I reach for my phone and quickly type, even though my vision is blurred from all these tears. I pass him the phone, and he reads what I wrote.

“Levi, it’s okay to feel that way,” Aiden tells me after a long pause.

I shake my head no.

He awkwardly puts his arm around me. “I understand. But I promise, it’s okay. It’s okay to feel that way,” he says again.

What Aiden says makes me cry even more. I hate that I’m sitting here on an old beanbag chair, with Aiden’s arm around me, and tears streaming down my face.

I hate that I’m feeling this way.

I don’t like it. I don’t like any of this.

I wish I could just remember to forget.
