A story that makes me smile

Many don't believe in love at first sight. I can say that I was doubtful myself until I saw her.

I was a freshman in high school. I was new. Moving from middle school to high school is actually a bigger change than I thought. The school was bigger, there were more people, the work was harder and more of it, it was a whole new world. My first period was history, not my best class. My third period was P.E. and that's where I met a girl, not THE girl, but I met a girl. Her name was ____. For the sake of privacy I shall refer to her as Lucy. I asked her out, this was early October. The next day I was sitting in History and I felt a tap on the back of my shoulder. I turned around to be smacked in the face with a feeling I had never felt before. It's like I turned around to be smacked in the face by a train full of things that I didn't know what to do with. I can't even remember the first words that spilled out of my mouth but I can't imagine they formed a proper sentence. The girl I asked out the other day, well this was her friend, Kelsey. I couldn't believe what I saw, never before had I seen someone so beautiful. I honestly thought that the entire thing could have been a dream. Alas I was now dating her friend whom I liked but I didn't have these explosive butterfly feeling in my stomach. Besides, there was no way I could ever get a girl that gorgeous to go on a date with me, I'm a freshman boy for gods sake. I didn't know what to do. It's wrong to like two people at the same time so I tried to forget about Kelsey. Overtime I was able overcome my shyness and was able to talk to and get to know Kelsey, it turned out we had a lot in common. We both are big nerds and gamers and love to just laze around and watch movies. It's really hard to stop liking someone that you feel that you really connect with and see every day in class.

Time had past and at last I was able to shove down the feelings I had for Kelsey. On December 15th, Lucy broke up with me.

Feeling lonely inside I sought solitude outside of the confining walls that is my high school. Kelsey followed me. She comforted me in my time of need. I couldn't help it, I knew how I felt deep down and in that moment I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to tell her how I felt all this time. I wanted to ask her out on a date that could last forever. I wanted to take her wherever she wanted to go. I wanted to run away with her with smiles on our faces. I wanted so many things in that one moment. I didn't do any of that. How could I? I am a freshman boy in high school with the knowledge of a two month relationship under my belt from which I really didn't learn anything. Besides how was I to know how she felt.

It took me till February to get the hint that she liked me back. I asked her out and that's when it started. I fell completely head over heels in love with her.

I have loved her for the past three years and I will continue to love her for as long as I live.
