Friend Crush
I have a friend crush on a mate I'm gonna call Makani (it's a real name, google it). Makani is a relatively new friend and we get on really well, he also exemplifies the sort of person I always longed to be friends with in school - the cool kid. I didn't have friends for most of my secondary school career, it was only when I stopped wanting to be one of the popular ones and started talking to the people who weren't, did I realise that they were more my speed. But this desire to be liked by people like that is clearly still within me because when Makani and I started to become really good friends, I started to develop a 'friend crush'. Now, what is a 'friend crush'? Well, it's not a regular crush because that implies a romantic attraction to the other person, this is not that. My attraction to Makani is solely platonic and I would REALLY like to keep it that way. No, a friend crush is when there is someone you know who you desperately and overwhelm...
