It’s a little sad thinking about all of it but, I met my ‘the one’ in middle school. We met through him wanting help with our math class I remember he was close with our class clown and part of the popular group and I was a loner who hung out with a few people, well he asked for help a lot of other times and it sort of led to us talking a lot but more about school. One day he asked for my Snapchat, we exchanged snaps and we began talking outside of school fast forward to 9th grade we were pretty much best friends doing everything together where he goes I go and all our friends knew, he brought me out of shell and introduced me to tons of people in HS I became well known around school and would randomly get waves for people in hallways something that used to never happen. I liked the person he made me, I wasn’t always hiding behind the crowd and he was right there next to me in the front now. Things went down hill in between 10th and 11th grade things got really bad where we really didn’t wanna see each other anymore, it all started because of some decisions we both aren’t proud of but it happened and I needed to own up to my mistakes he couldn’t…so we decided to cut it off and we occasionally saw each other around where we would usually meet up and walk to class together but we passed by each other now. My friends noticed we ended things and were consoling me but I had tried my best to get over it, I guess one of my so called friends saw an opportunity and took it, she got with him and told all the other girls that I hadn’t done the deed with him so she did and she was glad. This spread around the school like wild fire and everyone knew about it, I knew he liked to keep information to himself and asked if he knew about what was going around about him…to my surprise he looked down at me and said he was so mad and hurt that she would spread that around. I knew this guy for 5 years now and I felt bad for him so I told him let’s go to your favorite food place and eat, we did and this led to us talking about everything happening and it led to us having some much needed laughs. I was doing well and he was making it we graduated in a few months and he was excited but nervous he had said he wanted to be a pilot and he went through with it he was signed up for it and had a scholarship I was set with my college and my pathway, he was happy to know I was well and I was glad to hear he was going for his dream job. That’s the last time I saw him until graduation, we graduated a few days ago, I saw him with his friends and gave a small wave he waved back, his friends looked like they teased him and it ended there….after the ceremony he caught me walking out, he said he wanted to talk and we did about school about our future plans about the things blocking our way but overcoming them…I was so happy to hear he was excited to go and I almost started crying ngl, we held hands to my car and we gave each other one last hug goodbye and he kissed my cheek. Tears ran down my face as I was leaving because I really still liked him and I wish we had just worked things out, I wish we had actually thought things through but I can’t change my past so I hope if he ever sees this that he’s going great and he’s happy and not worrying to much about the future it’ll come so hush towards it you’ll miss this moment ✨
