dear stephanie,
i finally talked to you. i did it today.
i gave you a card i made with my little brother's markers that said "i hate you... april fools!"
i hope you got what i meant, it being april fools day and all.
you know, what's the opposite of hate?
yeah.
yeah, that's what i was trying to say.
you smiled and giggled like a little kitten and i just wanted to kiss you right then and there, but i had already been awkward enough, so that would have pushed it way over the edge.
you said thank you really quietly and walked away, leaving me outside history class all disoriented and in love.
at least i did something to get your attention, i guess!
hate (get the joke?),
