"I-I-I...I'M NEXT!" I shriek, jumping off my seat, and rush towards the weapon rack. I chickened out. I never did any of the things I thought about, and instead, ran away. Ahhh, but that was so embarrassing! How could I think about kissing him out of the blue like that?! It's not as if we're the only ones in the room! But I can't help but think what it'd feel like if I kiss Ellen. I feel torn from running away now. However, the thought of Ellen asking me if I have a fever again has a higher chance of happening than the possibility of him guessing my true feelings. That somehow made me feel a little better for bailing out but it's quite sobering as well. Am I really going to just let it be? Maybe Castor is right. I have to stop chickening out and start upping my game or something.
