I looked at the young man in front of me.
Looking at the panic in his dark eyes,at the sweat all over his body,at his helplessness of wanting to look at me but not daring to,I truly realized for the first time that Ethan liked me.
Just as I liked him.
"I wrote you a love letter after the National College Entrance Examination..."I looked at Ethan,who was full of astonishment,and continued,"But I didn't receive a reply from you.I only saw that letter torn to pieces and thrown into the trash can."
Ethan became flustered all of a sudden:"I didn't,Haley.I didn't receive that letter!"
"I've never seen the love letter you mentioned.I also wanted to confess to you after the National College Entrance Examination,but you were avoiding me during that time.I didn't see you at all during that summer vacation."
Hearing Ethan's explanation,I felt a bit dazed.
Before,I had only thought that Ethan had rejected me,but I had never expected that he might not have received the letter at all.
At that time,I was too embarrassed to give the letter to him directly,so I put the love letter in Ethan's desk drawer.But after the National College Entrance Examination,there was a tradition of tearing up books in school.It was completely possible that Ethan or other classmates didn't see the letter and casually tore it up.
"Haley..."Ethan gently touched my shoulder when he saw that I didn't speak,and said somewhat委屈地(aggrieved),"I really didn't receive your letter.Please believe me."
I held the hand that Ethan stretched out to me and smiled softly:"I believe you."
I believed this young man who had accompanied me throughout our senior year of high school.I believed every word he said,and I believed that my feelings in the past hadn't been wrong.
I was just ashamed that because of my inferiority complex and my so-called"self-esteem",I had never even thought of talking things through with Ethan and asking him about his true feelings.
I was afraid of getting rejected and resisted by others,but because of this,I had also lost the opportunity to receive love.
I looked at Ethan in front of me,looking at my reflection in his dark eyes.
I said to him,"Ethan,let's be together."
