There's this friend who likes me a LOT, but I can't reciprocate their feelings. We were boarding the same crowded bus, but he was acting creepy and a little crazy, wanting to get closer to me (let's just call him G). G muttered something along the lines of: "I feel like shit. I just want someone to like me. Is that asking too much...?" I tried shuffling away from N, pushing towards the back of the bus. Suddenly, I spotted someone I liked sitting in a booth (call him J) that was next to an empty one. I didn't want my feelings for J to seem obvious, so I awkwardly hid in the empty booth next to him while hiding from the creep. Unexpectedly, J quickly moved and sat down next to me so that I didn't have to sit next to G. He also threw a blanket over my head so G wouldn't notice me. It was really warm and quiet for a moment... And then I woke up.
