I was gay, unpopular, and had a crush on the popular boy.
I thought that was how my life was supposed to be.
But one day the popular boy talked to me.
He was in control of my heart from the very first day I met him.
But I never thought that one day he would be mine.
"Aiden, do you have a crush on someone?"
Emily asked me.
I looked around and whispered, "Yeah."
"Who is he?"
Emily asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
I smiled and said, "You know him. He is the most popular boy in our school."
Emily's eyebrows raised.
"Jake?" she asked.
I nodded my head yes.
Emily knew how much I liked Jake.
I always told her about how much I admired him and what he meant to me.
But I was sure that he would never give me that kind of attention.
He liked all the girls and I was just a gay boy who liked him a lot.
I never thought that one day he would be mine.
"Aiden, you can't like him. He likes all the girls and you are...," Emily said.
"I know."
I sighed.
"I'm gay and he's not. I know I'm not pretty or handsome. I'm not popular. He won't like me in that way."
Emily looked at me sadly.
She knew how much I liked him.
I sat there frozen in my chair at our usual lunch table.
Emily's words were sinking in.
I looked through my peripheral vision to where Jake sat across the cafeteria with his usual crowd of athletes and cheerleaders.
My hands grew clammy around my sandwich as I forced myself to take small bites, pretending I hadn't noticed him watching me.
Emily kicked me under the table, urging me to look up.
I finally gathered the courage to raise my head.
Jake was still watching me.
He gave me a slight smile and raised his hand in a small wave.
My heart hammered in my chest as I awkwardly returned the gesture, dropping my sandwich in the process.
He started to weave his way between the tables, ignoring calls from his usual crowd.
Emily squeezed my arm under the table as I tried to clean up the mess of mayonnaise and bread that had fallen on my tray.
The sounds of the cafeteria faded into a distant buzz.
My eyes followed him as he strode confidently across the room, his letterman jacket catching the fluorescent lights overhead.
I took in details I usually only got a glimpse of from afar—the slight crookedness of his front tooth, the small scar above his eyebrow from a childhood accident.
He stopped directly across from me, placing his hands on our table and leaning forward.
The scent of his cologne mixed with the smell of pizza wafting from the cafeteria counters.
"Hey, Aiden," Jake said, his voice steady but with a hint of something I couldn't quite place.
"Can we talk for a minute?"
Emily's eyes widened as she nudged me again, whispering, "This is it, Aiden. Don't blow it."
