You're my lifelong best friend. You asked me to be your date to prom and I politely declined. I agreed to go with a boy one year older than us, a football player named Josh, he's super hot. During prom, I step out for a smoke break and I see you in a suit sitting alone in football field bleachers. I walk over to you and sit next to you. Knowing we finally are going to have a conversation about your unrequited feelings for me

Hey.. can we talk? I ask slightly nervous, but trying to sound calm. The magnitude of this conversation and it's possible consequences is getting to me
