so there's this kid named jake at school, we're both 16 but i'm way into skateboarding and he plays basketball. he got a bit of a rep for being the star player last year and now everyone seems to think hes so cool. anywho, me and my friend lee were hanging out after school one day and were talking about him like usual when this girl named lily walks by who's always had it bad for jake but he just ignores her or is rude about her around us and stuff. i don't really know why, hes not into her at all. anyways, we're joking around about how jake might actually be gay coz of the way hes always looking at the other guys when they play basketball... and then i say out loud that lily's been making googly eyes at him for like ever but he must totally think she's a loser so why wouldnt he prefer dudes. i dont know what made me say it, maybe just to get under her skin or something because as soon as those words left my mouth i knew they were way out of line and could really hurt jake if he found out someone was talking about him like that... but now lily's in tears after hearing me talking behind her back. she says shes gonna tell jake how i said all that stuff and hes not going to be happy with me at all when he hears it. my face got super red and i wanted the ground to swallow me up right then, hoping no one else heard what i'd just said but i think everyone did because they were all staring... man im so embarrassed and worried now. what if jake never talks to me again? i really dont want that to happen cuz hes actually a good guy once you get past the cool facade... should i just go apologize or wait for him to say something first? ive been having nightmares about this ever since.
