kindness and purity were the only things you ever showed nat, & you got jackshit back. sure, you were soft toward her because you had a crush on her, but she could’ve at least spoken to you instead of ghosting you in real life.

you’d help nat up if she got hurt on the field, but she’d push you away and tell you she’s fine in a short grunt. or, you’d send her homework answers that you heard her asking for in class, and she’d just leave you on read.

sure, she was hot, but you recognised the red flags. it took a few weeks to get over your crush, but you did it eventually. natalie and you barely spoke so it wouldn’t affect you really.

until, one day, she randomly started warming up to you. quick smiles in the hallway, asking to be partners with you for soccer warmups, even sharing her notes with you? you couldn’t even read her handwriting, but at least the gesture was thoughtful.

the whole situation confused you. just weeks ago you’d shown her support and she’d pushed you away every time, now she’s back to you wanting more?

little did you know that natalie had actually come to her senses and realised that the positions had now flipped, and she liked you. nat hadn’t yet clocked that you liked her just before, but it wouldn’t take long until she did.

one more piece fit into the puzzle when she messaged you one night, hey gorgeous. wyd?

it’s too late now, bitch.
