My Crush is Gay
I even dreamed about it, imagining our reunion, picturing his face when he saw me.
I couldn’t wait for the day to come.
Yet doubts crept in quietly.
If Odell had returned to town to visit his grandparents, why hadn’t he reached out? Why hadn’t he called or tried to see me? Why hadn’t anyone told me he was back?
The questions threatened to dim my excitement, but I pushed them aside. I chose to believe there was a reason, something I didn’t know yet.
I told myself to be patient.
I would see him soon. He would answer all my questions, and everything would finally make sense. I refused to let doubt steal the joy of knowing I would see him again.
