don't waste opportunity

Samantha had a secret crush on her senior, Alex, since the day she saw him in her freshman year. He was smart, kind and had a charming personality that drew her to him. However, Samantha never had the courage to express her feelings to Alex, afraid that he would reject her or worse, laugh at her.

Over the years, Samantha watched Alex from afar, admiring his accomplishments in academics and sports. She tried to catch his attention by volunteering for the same events as him and hoping he would notice her. But Alex was always surrounded by his friends, and Samantha never had the opportunity to talk to him one-on-one.

As Samantha entered her senior year, she realized that this was her last chance to tell Alex how she felt. She knew it was a risk, but she couldn't bear the thought of graduating without letting him know.

One day, after the school play, Samantha saw Alex sitting alone on the bench outside the auditorium. She took a deep breath and approached him. "Hey Alex, do you have a minute?" she asked nervously.

Alex looked up and smiled. "Sure, what's up?"

Samantha's heart was racing, but she knew this was her moment. "I just wanted to say that I've had a crush on you since freshman year," she said, looking down at her feet.

Alex looked surprised but didn't say anything for a moment. Finally, he spoke, "Samantha, I had no idea. I'm flattered. I actually have a crush on you too."

Samantha's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Really?" she asked, her heart beating faster.

Alex nodded. "Yeah, I've always thought you were beautiful, smart and talented. I just never had the courage to tell you."

Samantha couldn't believe her luck. The guy she had been crushing on for years actually liked her back. They spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing, and by the end of the night, they had made plans for their first official date.

From that day on, Samantha and Alex were inseparable. They graduated together at the top of their class, went to the same college, and eventually got married. Looking back, Samantha couldn't believe how scared she was to tell Alex how she felt. She was grateful she took the chance because it led her to the love of her life.
