The Last Piece Of Gum

That Citrus Scent

I've never really had a crush, but this felt different. It was like a rush of uneasy and unknown feelings just decided to make themselves known for some unknown reason.

But, I liked it? I don't really know.

I think most people like me try to dispel these feelings at first. You can feel yourself get nervous, feel slightly uncomfortable, and you try to tell yourself that whatever you're feeling is probably from that disgusting cafeteria food you ate earlier, but in the end it just doesn't work. That's what this was at least, I thought so.

Obviously by now, you can tell that I'm not wise in the ways of love, or just simple attraction. I'm not complaining. Unlike most people, I'd rather not dabble in love and all that "good" stuff. That kind of thing honestly scares the hell out of me. This feeling though, I didn't want to push it away. Even though I was nervous, and slightly scared I'll admit, I did like it.

I can still smell the gum he always chewed.
