The second week. He has ditched the flirty comments. Now he is giving me pieces of himself.
Since you aren’t talking to me, I am going to tell you about myself. Ready for Everett James fact bombardment? Here we go …
Fact 1.
My favorite food is breakfast. I want my restaurant to focus on breakfast and lunch but upscale, you know? But I also want to open up a food truck with the same food and deliver breakfast to the homeless and underserved communities. All free of course. Just because they have had a hard time doesn’t mean they don’t deserve kindness and a good meal.

Fact 2.
I noticed you the first day you arrived at our school. July 7th. The first day of 7th grade. We were both enrolled in summer classes. You were like nothing I had ever seen. And I say nothing because I don’t just mean people… I had never seen a sunset as beautiful as you. I had never seen a creature as breathtaking as you. I had never seen the moon shine as bright as you. But I was a boy, under my parents’ wishes. I wanted you. But I was afraid of the consequences. I’m not a boy anymore, and I’m not afraid.
P.S. Did you notice what my jersey number is? Not a coincidence.

Fact 3.
You smell like cinnamon and coffee. It’s my new favorite combination. I can’t get it out of my head. I want it all the time. Do you think they make car fresheners that smell like you? If not, they should.

Fact 4.
I hate football.
