"What?"

"Didn't he?" Phil asked, slowing the car to a red light. "Didn't he say that?"

"He... He did."

"Well?"

"'Well' what?

"Was he right?"

How badly I wanted to say no. How badly I wanted to tuck and roll out of the car and never see his face again.

The most awkward situations were when I was put on the spot. I wasn't the kind to enjoy the limelight, but Phil was staring right into my eyes.

I needed a reason.

A reason not to fall in love with him. I tried to find one flaw in the boy sitting in front of me. But I couldn't. I didn't have anymore reasons not to fall in love with him because I already had.

I knew it for a while, but I never really wanted it to be true. He was with PJ so I had to deny it. I pushed the feeling from myself just so I could stay away.

The jealously when he wasn't with me, the constant butterflies when we texted. Every opportunity I got, I would look at him. I tried to learn everything about him, and I never really wondered why.

I guess I loved him.

Who am I kidding, I was inevitably in love with him.

"Phil." I had to tell him.

"Mm?"

I froze. My mouth became incredibly dry and I pursed my lips. "The light is green."
