My first crush story

Back in the days when I was younger, I harbored the biggest crush on a particular girl for an extended period. The way we met was quite amusing, although it felt a bit awkward for some reason. Despite the awkwardness, I longed to be close to her. I wasn’t specifically seeking a relationship, but I honestly didn’t know what I wanted with her. All I knew was that I had to be very close to her.

She never explicitly expressed any interest in me, but at times, I sensed that she might have picked up on the vibes I was giving off. I wondered if our age difference or other factors were hindering her from giving me the attention I craved. Regardless, I felt the need to act mature and patient, hoping that with time, she would notice me.

Not long after we met, I acquired a phone. Without hesitation, I started stalking her Facebook account. I utilized the algorithm, adding most of her friends, and soon, we became mutual friends. I repeated this routine almost twice a day, adding at least two of her friends. Then, one day, she sent me a friend request.

At that moment, I felt like I hit the jackpot. I quickly slid into her DMs, sending a casual “hi” with a waving sticker. However, hours passed with no response. Day 1 went by, still no reply. Two days later, there was silence. Realizing my initial plan wasn’t working, I initiated plan B. I started posting funny videos on my status, hoping she’d notice and respond. Day 3 arrived, and although she watched my videos, there was still no response. This setback made me rethink my strategy.

Introducing a new plan, I began tagging her in my posts along with other people on my page, thinking she would surely see this. Meanwhile, in reality, we were gradually bonding through the usual exchange of greetings, asking about each other’s day, and engaging in casual conversations. I couldn’t quite figure out why I was fixated on her online presence, but perhaps it was because I considered myself a shy guy.

Several weeks later, she finally texted me a simple “hi” and provided a reason for her earlier lack of response, which I wasn’t particularly bothered about. Since she texted me, nothing else seemed to matter. I replied with a nonchalant “yeah, it’s all cool.”

But little did I know, that simple “hi” was the start of something wild. We chatted casually, and suddenly, a mysterious bond began to form. I got tangled up in this intriguing web without even realizing it. Our online talks were just the beginning, hiding a bigger story. I had no clue about the secrets waiting, and as our connection grew, more chapters unfolded, revealing what was hidden beneath the surface.

If you’re enjoying the story, give it a clap and comment “Part Two” to keep the journey going. And so, the story goes on…
