IMPORTANT MUST READ (My Secret Crush)

From the moment I had the dream, I knew I liked Jared. His sweet smile, funny laugh, and sense of humor were just, perfect. Everyday of school he is the one that catches my attention, not anyone else. Not even my best friend Paris would catch my eyes. He is one of the handful of boys that it is hard to talk to. It is easy to talk to people like Henry and Ethan and Trevor and Carter, or even August, but Jared is different. I always tease him (not being mean) to get his attention and try to do something that seemed cool. I am too afraid to tell him because 1) It is uncomfortable 2) We are too young 3) He is always surrounded by the Raleigh Park kids. I was hoping that he would ask my to the Winter Semi-Formal, but he didn't. Does anyone have any advice to make an impression?
