My First Love and Heartbreak
Spring 2010
He was 16 and I was 17 when we met for the second time. The first time was when we were in 6th grade, I was the good girl and he was the troublemaker. He was the boy I rolled my eyes at and I would say there is no way I could have a crush on someone like that. Little did I know that he would take me on the ride of my life. My cousin dragged me out to this youth center that teenagers gathered at on a Saturday night and on this night I was standing alone at a table scrolling through my flip phone looking for someone to text, a way out. I am very introverted and was feeling sort of uncomfortable. I looked up and there he was, my eyes locked onto him as he walked over to his friends. I was drawn to his boyish smile and messy blonde hair. Never in my life time did I think I would have a crush on this boy but there I was wishing he would just look at me. He came up and started talking to me a couple weeks later when I went back to the center. We took a walk outside and talked all night........or at least until I had to go home. I gave him my number and he texted me right away so we could continue talking, and we did all through the next day. To my surprise he asked me out that night and I couldn't stop those butterflies in my stomach and the huge smile on my face. I did it......I got the guy.
