The first time I confessed

17M, this happened when I was in class 10, I had a huge crush on a girl In my class. Everyone in the class hated her but I didn't(she was a teacher's pet). Even gifted her a keychain which she hung it in her pencil pouch. One day I confessed. It wasn't a proposal, just a FYI thing. I got no response in return. I was completely ghosted for over a month. She didn't acknowledge my presence in the class. Felt like a betrayed a friend(we were close friends). Guess what, the keychain disappeared the day after I confessed!!!!. Later we talked things out and we still remain friends. What was your first confession experience like?

PS: She told me later that she felt bad for ghosting me as she herself didn't know what to do.

PS2: ik ik this kinda feels childish but when I was 15 hormones were at another level so please understand
