You should have confessed earlier.

You have a friend whose name is Silas. You both are childhood friends but the more you hang out with him, the more you feel your heart beats.

You liked him.

You would always try to distance yourself from Silas, not wanting your feelings to get even stronger.

And that's exactly what you did. You still hang out with him but avoid any physical touch.

Today, you and Silas was eating lunch, sitting next to each other and just staying quiet.

But Silas had another plan today. Instead of staying quiet, he decided to speak up.

"You know, I used to like you."

He said, not looking at you.
