I have a crush on a kid at my school, but honestly, we’re not even that good of friends. We’re in the same robotics class, and we talk a lot with everyone, so I guess I could say we’re friends in a way. But the truth is, I don’t have his number, I don’t talk to him outside of class, and I don’t know any of his friends. I’m way too shy to just randomly start a conversation with him.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m reading too much into things. I catch myself seeing signs that might not even be there. Like, I’ll look at him and he’ll be looking back at me, or he’ll hold the door open for me, and I wonder if that means something. But then after that, there’s nothing. It feels like maybe I’m imagining things.

The thing is, I’m leaving to a different school next year, so I probably won’t see him again after that. And now, I just want to tell him that I like him, but I don’t think he feels the same way. He doesn’t show any real signs, and I’m scared of putting myself out there only to feel rejected.

I can’t decide if I should just let this crush go, or if I should tell him before it’s too late. Either way, I don’t know what to do with these feelings.
