I made a friend.

He's really nice, and sweet, and funny.

Kind of like you?

He notices things!

He said "Hey! You got braces! I like them!"

"Hey! New hairdo ? Love it!"

"New top, right?"

Not like you...

And he smiles and acknowledges me in the hallway!

Not like you...

He isn't oblivious! Wow!

A boy who isn't alwys clueless in

every situation!

Who knew those existed! 

Ha!

This boy may not be a love interest

and I not to him.

But you were to me

and I to you.

A love interest should know how to start a conversation.

A love interest should know when to bring something up.

A love interest should know-

A love interest should know exactly

when to say the right thing.

You didn't know any of those things.

This boy says he doesn't want

to be on his phone all the time.

Says ife has more to offer than Instagram.

Kind of...like you.
