I like this guy from my school. This is our last year of high school, and we will probably never meet again. The guy I like is kind of mysterious — or to put it in more words, he’s an introvert. Sure, he has friends, but he never talks to girls unless it’s important. He is goal-oriented, decent, good at debating, and holds a lot of extra knowledge.
He has sleepy eyes — or more like a resting face — which makes it difficult for me to read his expressions.
I don’t think I actually want a relationship, but I’m really curious about him — about what his favorite things are, what his hobbies might be, his childhood memories, and his family dynamic.
I kind of want to be his safe place — somewhere he can be vulnerable, something boys don’t usually allow themselves to be.
I want to be the reason he has a genuine smile on his face.
I try to initiate conversations, even though I try to hide the big, bright smile that appears whenever I see him. I don’t really know what to talk about with him or how to become one of the friends he can feel comfortable with.
It’s difficult — very difficult.
Every other girl also admires his personality — the decent, good boy everyone thinks he is in the class. Not to mention, he’s kind of popular too; whenever there’s voting or nominations, his name often comes up.
Some people say he’s boring — maybe he is, because he never joins in fun activities much — but I guess that’s just his personality.
But I genuinely want to be a good friend to him — someone he can talk to personally, even over texts.
