Friendship and Love

TheGuy

It all started in 7th grade when I just moved into this little town in Minnesota. I was still pretty upset with moving there because I didn't like to move and be "new" to a place. The town was so small I walked the whole town in 15 minutes. Well anyways, school started and there were many kids for a small town. I was walking around keeping to myself when I noticed her. She was beautiful. I was upset though cause back then I was short and chubby so I didn't think she would like me. I wanted to talk to her and get to know her. She was in my grade too but then I learned that they separated the students into 2 sections. 7A and 7B. She was in 7B I was in 7A. I wanted to meet and get to know her so bad, but sadly it didn't happen. Through out the school year we talked and eventually became friends but I didn't get to know her well. So middle school went and came and I had a girlfriend and little did I know she had a crush for me too. It made her upset obviously. So I decided to just be friends with my girlfriend and then I told her. She seemed to be so happy after. Of course time went by and soon we were in high school as freshmen. Then I figured out she liked me and I liked her too. We had many classes together but she and I never really talked to each other. It was the winter of freshman year and we began talking to each other. One day she came up to me and said she had something to tell me. She told me she likes me and wanted to know how I felt towards her. I knew this would come but not then and I knew love might not last and I wanted her to be around me for a long time so I said I liked her but only as a close friend. Then she said oh okay and walked away. I was so stupid! I felt so dumb and I wanted to chase after her and tell her I was just playing around and I wanted to be more but then she was gone. We never really talked after that and of course time went by again and she had a boyfriend. I felt horrible but she was happy and I found myself liking her friend. I dated her friend but then it didn't work so we broke up. Of course she still had her boyfriend and he lived 3 hours from her and they didn't get to talk much but I was glad for her. Time went on and on again. Freshman year ended and sophomore year came. Then we had practically every class together so we began talking again. She told me many things not even her best friend knew about. I became her best guy friend and she was my best gal friend. We chat and talk and shared secrets. Many people thought we were dating but of course I said we were just friends. Rumors started and I got mad so I confronted people telling them to back off because she was upset with them. She then told me what else was bothering her and it was about her and her boyfriend. I helped her out and she gave me advice too. We were very close friends and along the way I feel in love with her again. She did too except she had a boyfriend and I didn't want to tell her I liked her. Then I figured out she had more problems with her boyfriend and I told her she can call me and we can talk. Of course she did and we talked through out the whole night. I wanted to tell her I liked her but I couldn't. I always told her I had something to tell her and she would really want to know but I said in two years[which would be after high school] and I kept it like that for many days, weeks and months. Then one day we went to the park after school and we were swinging on the swings and I asked her about her problems and she said its difficult and she was going to break up with her boyfriend because all her girlfriends wanted her too anyways. I encouraged her to stay strong and she cried on my shoulder. Later that same day I got hold of her planner and I wrote what I wanted to tell her in two years. I wrote down:
"Hey Loser, what I wanted to tell you in 2 years is that in sophomore year I liked you. Alot. Okay thats it. =)"
She didn't find it but I knew she would one day. Of course things were hard for her so I just encouraged her. Everything soon started to change. To be continue..
