Second Light
I had come from a regular middle school, so keeping up with the smart kids at that high school was tough.
When I was really struggling, I found a set of class notes on my desk that helped me a lot.
Once again, I saw Eric.
From then on, I secretly started to like him. However, I never thought he did those things because he liked me, I figured he just felt sorry for me.
Thomas went on, "Every time you smiled at me on the basketball court, it was like my heart melted."
"Later, I got brave enough to write you a love letter. I asked Eric, my buddy, to give it to you, but you turned me down hard. You said you wanted to focus on school and not date.”
