"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

I’m not quite sure where I stand with you, I haven’t spoken to you in months yet I still hope that you come up to me like you used to. I don’t know if you still feel that way. I feel like we missed each other. You may or may not have had your crush on me in yr7 but that was when I barely concidered looking at you as a friend. Now, over time I don’t like to admit that I have grown a crush on you and its really nagging away at me inside. I want it to go because every time I look at you I feel it and I don’t think you feel that way anymore. I f you do I want to tell you. I want to be with you, I want to feel loved. Now that I like you, maybe you’ve moved on.
To other people I’m really quiet and probably come across as snobby and uninterested and nerdy. I hope you don’t see me like that because thats just my outer layer, my protection from the world. I want you to see my inside.
Whatever I come across as, its not what I feel inside. I want you, Nickolai, and its killing me inside.
