Not Always How It Seems

Well, help yourself. 

I will.

Cake, yum! Want a piece?

Duh, it's cake.

Hey, don’t do that. Don’t talk about it like it’s over before it even starts. It isn’t over before it starts, right?

No, it isn't over. I hope that it's about to start.

You should have said something sooner, you know…

I know... And it's now one of my biggest regrets. But at least you know now.

I…I’m not any of those things. It’s stupid, you were just…different. You aren’t like all the other guys here. I like that. I like you.

You are all of those things, Des. And more.

Because they heard about my stupid little school girl crush and thought it would be funny? There is no way you liked me back then. 

Of course I liked you. You were smart and beautiful and kind. You still are! Wait... What school girl crush?

Did someone put you up to this? Because it’s not cool…

Why would anyone put me up to this? I'm telling you the truth Destiny. I have liked you since Day 1 of freshman year.

Yes….

I... I had a crush on you and I was too shy and awkward to talk to you or ask you out... I still... I still have a crush on you.

But I was always with her. You could have spoken to me. What truth?

The truth of why I never talked to you.

I was a shy geeky freshman too. And you talked to Kendall…

Kendall and I were friends before high school. You... You want to know the truth, Des?

You barely even talked to me…

I was this shy, geeky freshman, Destiny. I didn't talk to anyone.

My only friend was Kendall. I wasn’t exactly overflowing with popularity. No one noticed little dorky Destiny. 

I noticed you...

I owe everything to her. I was a nobody before she took me under her wing. She helped me out so much, Levi. And I can’t get anyone to understand that.

You weren't a nobody, Des.

She does. I wouldn’t even be on the squad if it wasn’t for her.

Don't say that. You don't owe everything to Del. Don't sell yourself short.
