MY SIDE (3)

I tried not to let him liking me get in the way of our friendship. We still talked in the hallways and walked to class together. I even got tardy bc of him. But at the end of the day, when we were going home, he put his arms around my waist really tightly and he told me to hug him. I was low key scared so I just quickly hugged him back and said goodbye. Everyone started warning me the next day, including teachers. I was honestly scared now. I thought everyone was overreacting. He still said i love you and stuff. He still asked for cuddles. He also kissed me goodnight (through ft).
We were still friends.
And then he met Clyde...
