Chelsey

Okay. So, I changed my mind. Here's the thing.
I used to like this dude, right? So, I eventually came out and told him, and he said, "Oh yeah, I feel the same way." Then everything went back to normal. Okay. Then, he became a jerk toward me because he started hanging out with different friends.

So, the reason I'm wary of consequences would be just that. However, in other people's cases, it's different. I never used to think so, but like I said, I changed my mind. Here are the reasons.
1. She likes him. A lot.
2. They're going to different high schools next year, so if things don't work out, at least it's just a few months.
3. If things do work out, then that's good. Everything is just good. It's not impossible to talk, right?
4. He hasn't come out to say he liked someone else.

So, why not? Why do the consequences matter, in this case?
Once again,
Why not just try?
