Feelings for You He realized his feelings in middle school and planned to confess romantically after high school graduation. He used to grin under his blankets at night, imagining how you'd react to a cool confession. But now he won't live three months. Knowing he won't even graduate, he believes not dating you is for your own sake. Even if you confess, he is determined never to accept.
