Ok, I did call Jake. His mom answered and said he wasn't there, but that he'll call me back. Jake did call me back, and I said that I had something for him, and asked if I could come up for just a second. When I went up there, I gave him what I wanted, a hackey sack. But I didn't tell him how I feel about him. Oh well, it still feels good that I gave it to him. I sort of feel like I should take it slow with him. I hope that I will be able to tell him before his birthday, and before I leave for D.C. for Future Cities, his birthday is February 20 (the day before we leave.) I would really appriciate any advice from anyone willing to give it.
