Haylie Haylie Haylie
My mom has always told me that if you have a crush on someone—and you don't want that crush on that person—just write their name down on a sheet of paper until it's all out of your system….but I think that's physically impossible.
"Hey bro." Zack said as he sat across from me on the catering table.
"Hey." I said, not sounding like my normal self, but I didn't think Zack cared how I sounded because he tool the sheet of paper from my grasp, took a two minute or so look, before putting it down and saying, "Wow, you got a crush on Haylie, don't you?"
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Bro, it's pretty obvious, you literally blush until you turn like a cherry tomato whenever you're around her, whenever someone—example: myself—says her name, you smile like an idiot, you show your true self when your around her, you talk about her twenty four seven…I would personally go on, but you get the picture." Zack replied.
"Alright, first off, I do not smile like an idiot whenever someone mentions her name." I said, and was about to say something else, but Zack abruptly said, "Haylie," then I abruptly slam my head on the table and felt my face warm up. Crap, Zack was right.
"Your smiling right now, aren't you?" Zack asked.
"No," I muffled.
"Lift your head and I'll be the judge of that." Zack said.
I slowly lifted my head, making sure the warmth in my cheeks was gone, and the smile on my lips was gone…and by the time my eyes saw Zack's, he'd exclaimed, "Ha! I knew it!"
"Oh, shut up." I said.
"So, when exactly are you gonna ask her out?" Zack asked.
"I don't even know if she likes me like I like her." I replied.
"Well….if you do…just don't hurt her emotionally."
"Why?"
"Well, I treat her like my little sister, and if you hurt my family, I hurt you."
"So that would be why you haven't showed your flirt side when your around her." I said.
"Well, we're both from Long Island, we got to learn to protect our kind…just as you got to learn to take care of her when you two finally go out." Zack said as he got up and walked over to the two Johns that were currently across the room.
Well, my crush on Haylie was almost out of my system until Zack brought it up…looks like I've got to write her name a lot more times.
Haylie Haylie Haylie … I LOVE YOU!
