Are you crushing? 10 ways to tell, and win!



Got a weird, fuzzy feeling in your stomach…but not sure what it is? It can hit ya any time of the day—on the walk to school, during French class, even when the pizza delivery guy rings your doorbell. It’s strange and new but you gotta admit—you kind of like it. Could it be…a crush?

 
You're not alone, chica. In The Boy on Cinnamon Street by Phoebe Stone, super gymnast Louise is determined to uncover the identity of her secret admirer—and finds herself crushing back for the very first time.
 
Luckily, Louise has BFFs Reni and Henderson by  her side to help diagnose her mixed-up emotions. Want some of their awesome advice? GL teamed up with The Boy on Cinnamon Street for the top 10 ways to tell you're crushin' hard...

  1. Those “butterflies” your sister told you about—the ones that fly around in your stomach? Yep, you finally get it.
  2. QUOTE ALERT! “Crushes hurt. None of them feel good. They’re pure agony.” (p. 25)
  3. You’re always late to homeroom on the days you have class together…because you have to change your outfit three times and apply false lashes for the occasion.
  4. QUOTE ALERT! “‘Yeah,’ goes Reni, ‘of course you can tell [if you’re crushing]. You’re, like, all pale and weird-looking.” (p. 56)
  5. You’re writing poetry. And you never write poetry.
  6. QUOTE ALERT! “He’s moaning and mooning around and staring out the window all the time.” (p. 113)
  7. Your favorite song on the radio always reminds you of him. And so does the one played after that. And after that. Actually…every song reminds you of him.
  8. QUOTE ALERT! “I lean my head against [him], and the warm fuzzy flannel of his shirt feels nice against my cheek. Suddenly a wave of something sweet pours over me.” (p. 136)
  9. You find yourself checking his Facebook page a few times a day…and start showing up at all his favorite check-in spots.
  10. QUOTE ALERT! “I feel like someone just hit me over the head with a hammer.” (p. 162)

well the first "big" crush is happening now. it feels like youre slowly sliping into a sea that is fully composed of "him". You know things about him from previous talks before you even liked him. after that you cant talk to him the way you throw around words to other people. but i guess im slowly gaining confidence cuz i told him when we dressed up for our exams he looked really nice and ran out the door. you just feel overly excited and gitty when the mear thought of something that reminds you of him twist in your brain.its just amazing

My first crush was in 2nd grade. my BFF and I had the same crush,and since we were in second grade we did something completely stupid. We founded the "Stephen's Girlfriend Club". The funnies part though is that like, 20 girls joined! We didn't try to keep it a secret, either. Everybody knew about it, including him! It's so embarrassing because i don't know if he told anybody! But my BFF and I always laugh when we look back on it.

I had my first real crush in 5th grade. It was sort of weird. I kept getting the so called butterflies and I caught myself staring at him all the time. When ever he'd walk by I instantly have a huge smile on my face, and it wouldn't go away. The feeling was a little disturbing as well. He was my best guy friend which made it ckind of awkward when I talked to him because I'd get lost in his words, and say nothing at all. He was and still is the most amazing guy in the world! He is still my best friend and the best boyfriend ever! That little feeling I had in the pit of my stomach turned out to be the best feeling in the world because to this day we are still going strong as a couple! I'm in the seventh grade right now and the past two years has been great with him beside me. Smile
