For Your Eyes Only

'''It was Charlie’s second year in his new high school. He wanted to make it count as he was a junior and his time as a teenager is running out. So he decided to do something about a girl named Mandy. She was in the grade above him and from his point of view, way out of his league. However, as it was her last year in high school, he really didn’t have anything to lose. During the end of his first year, he thought she was pretty. Over summer he started talking to her just as a friend, but as time went on, he started to admire her more and more. Eventually, at the start of the year, he was head over heels for her. People knew about it as well, and boy would they tease him about it. They would often make faces when they saw him with her and they’d constantly make jokes about it. Point was, Charlie liked her and everyone knew it. However, instead of diving head first into the fray, he’d often have a hard time talking to the girl. From stuttering to having small conversations, he wasn’t making any progress. He was so determined to try to impress her that it wasn’t really good for him. When he realized this, he just said to himself “screw it” and he just messaged her that he liked her. To no one's surprise, he was friend zoned by the girl. He felt a mixture of emotions at that moment. He was heartbroken as the apple of his eye rejected him, but relieved that he finally told her the truth and can move on with his life. '''

Importance of the Story:

'''Most people can relate to this situation. Having a crush on some you know is way out of your league but you can’t help yourself. It’s a completely normal thing and you just can’t help yourself. But that doesn’t mean you need to be fixated on being perfect. If you have to change yourself completely to impress this girl, maybe she isn’t into you. So the best move is to just tell him or her truth and see what happens. It’s a likely chance you’ll get rejected and that’s fine, but then God could come down and give you his blessing and your crush may give you a chance ;).'''
