It's all his fault

So, I was talking to him and I decided I must know if he likes someone or not. Or if he would even answer me. He said that he didn't like anyone and then asked me if I like anyone.
I wanted to shout, "YES! I LIKE YOU!"
But I couldn't. It's just not how I am. I couldn't even ask him to the fucking homecoming dance. Fuck this. Me and my damn fear of rejection. That would be basically all I'm afraid of. Being hurt by someone I love. Being rejected my someone whom I want to love me.
That't probably why I lied and said I liked someone else. The guy that I've liked forever but nothing has ever happened because of it. Go figure. And he even knew that I liked him. He's mentioned it to me when we've talked.
But, I'd never end up with him. We hang out with two totally different groups of people in school. It probably could never work out, as much as I'd like it too.
However, I've finally moved on. But, I'm so afraid of being rejected by him that nothing will probably ever happen.
Too bad.
I wish something would.
Because I like him a lot more then I had originally planned. Now, I'm probably going to go and get my heart broken.
