A few of the girls from Leadership were there, mostly avoiding eye contact with us and trying to just get the job done. After a while of repairing the horrid suggestions made by Leadership for music, as well as firing the DJ and writing a playlist to replace him, finally me and Michael got some alone time.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I'll admit, it was kind of awkward bringing it up, but I really hoped he'd been lying as much as I had been at lunch, \"So do the others _really_ think we have crushes on each other?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; He shrugged, \"I guess.

I wanted so badly to just ask him, but some part of me told me it wasn't allowed, or that he'd say no. \"So, who are you going with?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Uhh...
