He Loves Me! 1985

I am 16 and a junior in high school

     After our soccer game, (he) came to the High School to find me. I was with some of my soccer friends watching the boys basketball game when I saw him walk into the gym. I needed to go home, so (he) walked me out to my car. On the way, I could tell that something was bugging him. So I said, "what's bothering you?" He said he had a problem. I took stupid guesses to make  him cheer up but he still kinda sat there. He then told me that he wanted to talk to me about this problem and I said, "O.K. then, come with me and we can talk." He agreed, but I was dieing! I tried to tell him about the fight I broke up today at school, and he was just acting the strangest! He was resisting saying what he wanted to say. So we blabbed about nothing...he asked me to keep driving so he could talk. He insisted that he would "burst" if he didn't tell me tonight. Since I was low on gas, I said I'd drive to the station. All of a sudden, when I was completely off guard, he blurted this out: "Davis...I've liked you for a long time and I think I've fallen in love with you!" I didn't know what to say!!! I was completely off guard and speechless! The worst part is, I sat there driving downtown with my eyeballs as big as silver dollars, and my chin to the floor! (He) obviously noticed my expression and goes, "say something...please!?" I apologized and said I couldn't! I could feel my ears burning and...I was just kinda stuck there...Then, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad I got it out! I would've gone crazy!" I was absolutely dieing. I was flattered but I honestly couldn't say I liked him in the same way back!

     It was silent most of the drive back, but I'm sure (he) was silently having an attack because I couldn't say anything.

Davis

(Did I really spell "here" "hear?" and I broke up a fight? WOW!)
