Alright, if you see any chapter entitled "FLUFF", it means I am talking about my crush and solely my crush. All of them will be in a letter format, since I find letters and poems the easiest way to express how I feel. Any other manners just link to facts at some point. Also, I'll refer to my crush as Tanner. Obviously I'm not using his real name or anyone else's real name.

Dear Tanner,

You know, you're a whole lot nicer than I thought. Everybody says that you and your whole group of friends are really rude, but I disagree. You've been kinder to me than you even needed to be. The amount of kindness I was expecting was... just a pinch above none, due to what I'm known as and what you're known as.

Where to start now that the basic has been cleared... Helpful. You've been really helpful to me when doing sports. Since I'm terrible at sports, I don't know what I'm doing. You've helped me a lot, however. You kept giving me advice on how to do things. You showed me how to do it, too... I just kept forgetting when the time came to actually do it, though. So... thanks for the help, Tanner.

You've also, as mentioned, been really nice to me. As with the rest of your group, you have a reputation of being rude and hurtful towards other. I think it's more of a mob mentality, however. You've always been really nice when we do sports in the alternative group. I don't know whether it's because I have a reputation of being a snitch (as a side note, I rarely snitch and don't really care for anything idiotic/rude people say) or you think I'm sensitive or what, but I really appreciate it.

I also think that you could be pretty funny. I... don't feel as though I know what you're humour is but, by the amount of times I've heard you laugh, I'm pretty sure that I could have a couple laughs with you. If our senses of humour match, anyways. I'd really like to get to know the side of you that I hear laugh so often.

This is just a random tangent, but I think it's hilarious when people see me as uptight or serious. I'm really not. I just get socially uncomfortable, especially around your particular friend group. I feel like I'm being judged... I've heard that you're friend group has been talking about me behind my back on occasion, so I know I'm being judged and that makes me act all serious because of how uncomfortable I get.

Anyways...

I just wanted to let you know that I've really appreciated your help and how nice you've been. I'd also liked to get to know you better, too. I... really like you.

Don't tell anyone this, okay? I don't want to become a laughing stock.
