UGG in My life

I’ve liked him since seventh grade.I thought I was done liking him my freshmen year,but I guess I wasn’t .I had his number since Summer.We had a falling out and I was forbidden from talking to him,so I hadn’t contacted him since.This was until two days ago.I wanted to hear his voice.He was my only constant at the time even though we weren’t talking.I texted him hey and he responded with,”Who dis”.I told him that I was going through my phone and I came across this number and he believed me.He had a girlfriend,so I knew that I couldn’t say anything that was too far.The next day,he asked me if I liked his girlfriend and I said I didn’t really know her.Then a few minutes later,he told me he broke up with her.I was so excited,but I didn’t tell him that.I pretended that I cared about their relationship,but then he asked me if I still liked him.I didn’t know what to say,so I just told him I had to go to bed.I wish I would’ve said something more....I want to talk to him about it…but I don’t want it to be awkward....why does high school have to be so difficult?
