The answer was obvious, but I never actually got a confirmation of his feelings towards me. I mean maybe if I read that letter. "Because I love..like you, you're amazing, beautiful, your.." "Oh, shut up, I'm none of those things, God, Craig. When will you grow up and get over this stupid crush?" "I'm freaking twenty, and you're like what 16? Get a hint already. Date girls your age." I couldn't even look at him while saying these things. Knowing someone out there who found me attractive enough to fawn over me gave me power; it lifted me. "I..Look, I know you are out of my league, and honestly, I have no chance. I don't know why I have a crush on you, and it's not like I haven't tried dating a girl at my school. They just, and I'm not good at anything; you remember when I tried out for basketball. Jesus, my dad cried. But I get it. I'm fat, ugly, and I." He started to laugh as he talked down about himself.

Wooo, I guess I don't have anything else in fucking my life now. I don't even want you here, dude. The only reason you're in my presence right now is because of Keisha, who is my best friend. I don't need you or your fucking candy. I threw the candy box at him, which exploded on the floor. He looked down at it, and he balled his fist up. I had never seen him do that despite everything.
