Chapter Two
I knew today was the day. I was finally going to tell Travis how I felt. I even got so far as to write him a very detailed note telling him about my feelings. The note quickly found it's way to the trash. I knew that if I was going to do this I was going to have to do this the right way. I would have to tell him face to face how I felt.
As I sat on the stair way I pondered what I was about to do. I just kept telling myself that it was now or never. After a few minutes of this I regained my confidence. And then I saw him heading my way. Bye-bye confidence and hello doubt. Luckily he hadn't noticed me so I quickly stood up and ran in the direction of my next class. The only problem was that my next class didn't start for twenty minutes and it was with Travis. I had no doubt that this was where he was headed so I ran into the nearest bathroom.
As I splashed the water on my face I let the cold sensation run throughout my body for a moment. As I looked into the mirror I didn't like what I saw. I saw a coward. Here I was running away from the guy I spent most of freshman year with. But the fact was, we're not the same people we were back then. Back then I had no attachment what so ever to Travis Strong, but now...I can't stop thinking about him.
"Get a grip." I told myself. "It's just Travis. He's the nicest guy on earth. What chance do you have with him if you can't even tell him one simple thing?"
"This is not one simple thing!" My reflection argued back. "This is telling the guy of my dreams that I love him! This could be a set up for major rejection!" As I fought with my subconscious I noticed that both had good points. If I couldn't tell Travis this one thing I had no future with him. But this was a major set up for rejection. Decisions decisions.
I took in a deep breath and regained my confidence. I pushed open the girls bathroom door only to wind up being face to face with him. I let out a squeak and felt very stupid. Why couldn't I just talk to him? This was really starting to get on my nerves.
"Hi Travis." I took a deep breath and tried to straighten my posture. With one look into his deep, mysterious gray eyes my legs had turned to noodles. Once again I took a deep breath and prepared myself for what I was about to do. It was now or never and I was not going to let this chance pass.
