Crush

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush

Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, just too much, just too much

The halls of Degrassi were quite was Alex walked through them to get to her next class. She was fifteen minutes late. Blame it on sitting in the girl's bathroom on the phone with Paige, who was at home sick. Alex couldn't explain the feeling she had when she would see or talk to Paige. It was like there were a million butterflies flying around in her stomach. She loved it when Paige would talk, even when she was sick Alex still thought it was cute. But she knew Paige didn't feel the same way, she COULDN'T feel the same way. She was the head cheerleader and cheerleaders can't be lesbians.

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?

As Alex entered the classroom, Mr. Simpson looked at her questionably.

"Alex, is there a reason why you're late?" He said.

"Sorry, got caught up in the studying." Alex lied as she took her seat at one of the computers.

Mr. Simpson just gave her a look than went back to teaching. Alex just stared at the computer screen still lost in her thoughts. Why can't I just admit that I love her? she thought. Paige was pretty much the only thing Alex has been thinking of these past couple of weeks. Does Paige ever think of me when she's alone? Alex wondered. I think I'm falling in love; it can't just be another crush.

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay

Sometimes when they're together, Alex would see Paige tense up a little when Alex looked at her. Alex has tried to walk away from this feeling a million times, but she knew she couldn't. She knew her crush wouldn't go away.
