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...

Those “butterflies” your sister told you about—the ones that fly around in your stomach? Yep, you finally get it.
QUOTE ALERT! “Crushes hurt. None of them feel good. They’re pure agony.” (p. 25)
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.
QUOTE ALERT! “‘Yeah,’ goes Reni, ‘of course you can tell [if you’re crushing]. You’re, like, all pale and weird-looking.” (p. 56)
You’re writing poetry. And you never write poetry.
QUOTE ALERT! “He’s moaning and mooning around and staring out the window all the time.” (p. 113)
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.
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)
You find yourself checking his Facebook page a few times a day…and start showing up at all his favorite check-in spots.
QUOTE ALERT! “I feel like someone just hit me over the head with a hammer.” (p. 162)

My first crush was not long ago. He was a very sweet boy, at the time practically no boy was this nice to me. He would hang around me at P.E. He sat behind me in class. Slowly I began to like him as more then a friend. I wanted to him to ask me out but at the same time I knew I could not say yes even if he did. I didn't want our friendship to end, we were close. One day someone in my class said he liked me and wanted to ask me out I was devastated but I had butterflies at the same time. It was an awkward feeling but I still get it sometimes. I still see in the halls but we don't talk much. Sometimes I wonder if I had said something different if we would still talk, but who knows mabey he'll send me a candy gram anyway!

My first crush was in third grade. I thought he was the cutest thing ever, but what did I know? It was awful. He found out that I liked him and told all of the guys in my class. He didn't like me back. I was so humiliated. Everyone made fun of me. I never had a crush... ever since then.

It was just last October, and i was at a party. My friend. Tyler's Dad & Papa,desided to hav a fall party. They invited a ton of people, including my family, Tacuma, & Carlos' family. Carlos & me are Best Buddies forever & ever & ever, &are really close.BUt at this party, iI was trying to play something on the piano,but i suck at playing. So, Carlos took my fingers and placed them where they shou;d be on the piano. IT was soooo cute!!! Them, later when we were all tired and it was midnight, I layed on the couch, & he was in the arm chair next to it. And he said "Are you sleepy Sam?" I said "Yes." THen hge said "Well go to sleep." And I fell asleep to him stroking my hiar. THATS the day I realized I had my first crush.

My first cruch was in 7th grade. Brandon goes to my church. He helps out and is super sweet and funny. Whenever I was around him I felt weightless and I always tried to find a way to look at him without him noticing. I found myself getting jelous though, a girl in our confirmation class named Emily(his friend girl. They were always sitting by eachother and she made him laugh I felt torn but the weightless feeling did'nt go away while I was with him. One day I tried talking to him and was surprised at how easy it was. I could feel when he was embarassed and when he was having fun I felt really happy. were friends but I can see a future with this boy <3

"You will be pared with Ben...." My teacher pointed her long red fingernail at me and I gulped. Ben? You mean the super hot guy in my science class... my... CRUSH?! I nodded slowly, and flashed a 'hi!' smile at him. He flashed one back. I hid it for some time before i really knew and possibly truly knew that deep deep down, I liked him.
"So," I began slowly, as I looked into his big blue eyes. "What are we doing for our project?" He went on, but I was lost in endless thoughts just about being with him. I knew it was hopeless, just that every girl in my grade liked him, he had a GF, and that it was hopeless. And it was. I don't like him now, But I'll never forget the mind blowing moment when I found out that love can be found even in the most silly places. But it was just a stepping stone. But when I think about it... I'll never forget my very first crush.
