A Burning Feeling

I can’t help it, but every time I see him my heart burns. Thinking about him makes my stomach clench, and I could only assume it’s what people call ‘butterflies in your stomach’. Honestly, they should call it, a burning feeling because that’s what it feels like to me. Maybe it’ll go away if I ignore it, but that’s the thing; I can’t!

Walking through the halls, I search just to see his face within the jumbling mess of teenagers. My heart drops when I can’t, and it starts racing when I do. There are nights where I can’t sleep because all I can think about is him.

This feeling started at the beginning of the school year when I kept catching him staring at me. At first, I only thought about him, hoping I could decipher why he was staring. But it turned into feelings, and now I can’t stop it. Now he’s all I can think about, and it’s driving me insane!

Is this love or is this just a stupid crush?
