"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Even though i didn’t know you that much i really need to tell you something. So today at school my crush (Jose) asked me out well kinda, he didn’t actually say it to my face but somebody heard him and then they shouted it out. So now he is mad at me. He doesn’t know that I like him.When i didn’t answer him i kinda felt bad because, he was sad in class. He was trying to talk to me when we were walking home but it didn’t end so well. My friend Monica is trying to keep me back so he can talk to me but i don’t, believe her that he likes me. Like why would anybody want to date me i’m Ugly. But my the cross walk by my house he was being all cute and being shy, he was trying to talk to me but we only made eye contact for about 5-10 secs. that may seem long but it didn’t feel like it. Jose said “I kinda hate when I don’t answer him, he thinks i don’t like him I do”
I was trying not to cry during class so he wouldn’t see that i am not the strong as i act. My other friend Valerie keeps telling me that i should say yes because, “We would be a cute couple” Jose is very cute and i wrote him a note saying that i would love to talk to him but i don’t know what do say to his face. I just feel so awkward. In class when he smiles it lights up my day so i know today would be a good day.
I don’t know what to say, i know yo wont get this but i’m pretending you are.
