September 3rd
I couldn't stop thinking about Jack all night. I kept replaying our encounter in the cafeteria, wondering if he had really smiled at me or if I had just imagined it.
As I lay in bed, I felt like I was going crazy. Why was I obsessing over some guy I barely knew? But at the same time, I couldn't help the way I felt.
When I got to school today, I made a point to look for Jack. I spotted him in the hallway, leaning against his locker and chatting with his friends. My heart skipped a beat as our eyes met, and for a moment, I felt like I was frozen in time.
But then Jack smiled and waved, and I felt like I was melting. I smiled back, trying to play it cool, but inside, I was freaking out.
Olivia noticed my exchange with Jack and raised an eyebrow. "Looks like someone's got a crush," she teased.
I blushed and looked away, trying to deny it. But deep down, I knew Olivia was right. I had a major crush on Jack, and I had no idea what to do about it.
As the day went on, I found myself stealing glances at Jack whenever I could. I felt like I was being silly, but I couldn't help myself.
But then, disaster struck. I was walking down the hallway, lost in thought, when I accidentally collided with Jack.
My books went flying, and I felt like I was going to die from embarrassment. But Jack just laughed and helped me pick up my books.
As we stood up, our hands touched, and I felt a spark of electricity. I looked up at Jack, and our eyes met.
For a moment, I felt like time stood still.
And then Jack smiled and said, "Hey, are you okay?"
I nodded, still feeling dazed. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks."
As Jack walked away, I couldn't help but wonder if I had just imagined the whole thing. But then I looked down at my hand, and I could still feel the warmth of Jack's touch.
I smiled to myself, feeling a sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this was the start of something special.
