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)

I had my first crush over a long period of time. A few years ago (I'm in eighth grade), when we first started middle school, I had P.E. with the boy I would eventually have a crush on. He was athletic and I admired his ability to do pull-ups. But I always thought he was a show-off and I didn't like guys who showed off. In seventh grade, I also had P.E. with him and I found out that he was really nice, but I still didn't feel anything towards him. Then in the beginning of eighth grade, I had music and P.E. with him and I started to like him. He was really nice to everyone, even to girls (which was not common among the rest of the guys at our school). All of a sudden, I felt shy around him. The feeling I got when I was around him was excitement, and I felt a need to act loud and obvious in front of him. But I knew that was wrong, so I just stand there quietly. Just waiting.

I had my first crush when I was in fifth grade. We were kind of friends, he always starting the conversation since I am really shy. Everytime he walked by, talked to me, I got butterflies in my stomach. I thought he liked me. I liked him so much; I thought he was the right guy I was meant to be with. I went overboard with the flirting, following him everywhere. I evn wrote sonnets of how he was my soul mate and we were going to be together forever.

Now I regret even talking to him.I wish I would have ignored him and told him to buzz off. He would hug me and flatter me but it turned out he had a somewhat girlfriend that I didn't know about. Now I know he is a player. Although he can be sweet, romantic, and flattering, he is also disrespectful to girls and elders. I crushed on him for two years, finally realizing he is not right for me at all. Altough I felt it was amazing at that time, I now know I did a lot of embarrasing things just to get his attention and make him happy.
