“So what now?” his question was followed by an awkward silence. His eyes were longing for those three words to be said. His breathing was shallow and soft. His whole world would pause until I gave my answer. Once spoken it couldn’t be taken back. Once spoken everyone would know. Once spoken everything would change. I knew his reply yet fear still hit me. Those three small words mean the world to him. Everyone else says it without a second thought, so why is it so hard for me?
I finally say, “Wanna go out?” he quickly replies yes and we return to our recess.
