First Crush

It happened slowly.

It happened slowly. And the truth is, I don't even know why.

You can't fall in love with someone you've never met!!!

Well, I did.

His name was Graham, and he wrote short stories on Commaful.

They were always sweet and touching.

I used to imagine he wrote them about me.

I used to imagine he wrote them about me..

When I messaged him, he didn't always reply quickly... but he never left me hanging.

After our conversations, I would fantasize about him admitting his love for me.

Hey, I need to tell you something. (Him)

Hey, I need to tell you something. Sure, what's up? (me)

Hey, I need to tell you something. Sure, what's up? I- I think I have a crush on you. Um... yeah. Oof, I feel so embarrassed now.

Really?

Really? Yes, really.

Really? Yes, really. :)

Just then, a new post popped up on my personal feed. Graham had posted it. It was titled "I'm in love..."

A gasp escaped my lips, my heart beat faster.

No, it can't be happening, I reminded myself.

Hey guys~

Hey guys~ I'm in love with a girl, she's smart, and sweet, and funny... and we're going out... her name's Celina. Thought you should know.

Celina. What an exotic name. Much better than mine. Of course he found another girl.

I left a comment. "Congrats!"

When he responded, my spirits seemed to lift... until I saw the notification.

"Thanks dude"

It was my first heartbreak. "Thanks dude"
