Who Was It With?
A boy in my year 5 to year 9 classes.
When Did You Realize It was Love?
When he gave me some chocolates for my birthday.
What Did It Feel Like?
Well, If you can imagine floating in the air above a HUGE fluffy duvet, then thats what love is. BUT the feeling is ten TIMES better. It is the most wonderful feeling but can break your whole soul to the ground at the same time.
What Happened Next?
Year 5: I fancied Him a little bit, y'know, like the childish marrying-eachother-in-the-school-playground kind of fancying. 7th November- He gave me a hug and we became friends.
Year 6: He went out with my best friend, and that was agonizing. 12th Feburary- He gave me a box of chocolates for my 11th birthday and I finally realized that I was in love with Him. 13th May- He broke up with my bestie, Lauren. Thank god.
Year 7: The start of a new era! Or so I thought. We became best friends for a while and I stored my other feelings at the back of my mind.
Year 8: My heart raced everytime I saw Him. Now it was certain, I was in love. 22nd March- My friends finally made me ask Him out. He admitted that He had been in love with me since Year 6, but was too shy to admit it. The catch? He already had a new girlfriend, who was gorgeous. Katrina the Beauty.
Year 9 (now): I'm still in love with Him but my friends have supported me a lot. Me and Him are still besties, but Lauren is at Stringer and I am at Varndean. I hardly see her at all, but have met new people, but still in the same class as He is. At the moment I do have a boyfriend actually, but I could never love him as much as I love Him. Y'know what, to hell with it, his name is George.
Lessons Learned
- Never hide your feelings. If you even just fancy someone a little bit, go and tell them. And if you are lucky, they will feel the same way. And if they don't, then that's fine as well. Yes, it is hard at first, but it gets easier and easier to be around them, and usually, by the first couple of weeks of like-liking someone, you forget about them and then there is no problem. But also, be nice to the person who is asking you out. Don't act disgusted or uncomfortable, give them a nice, calm 'no' and a reason why not. Maybe: "I'm just not ready." That way, it (hopefully) doesn't upset them and you will feel much better
