As I walk nervously down the crowded school hallway, my heart races. Today's the day I'm finally going to confess my feelings to my crush, Alex. I've penned a heartfelt note and carefully slipped it into his locker before class.

During lunch, I notice Alex and his friends huddled together, reading something and giggling. Panic sets in as I realize they must have found my note. My face turns beet red as I watch them pass the note around, their laughter growing louder with each passing moment.

I can feel everyone's eyes on me as they finally finish reading and look in my direction. My crush, Alex, tries to stifle his laughter but can't. It's the most embarrassing moment of my life, and I wish the ground would swallow me whole.
