Love is a Very Delicate Thing

I'm an 8th grader, and this new boy who is a 7th grader came to our school. At first, I saw him walking around the school and didn't really even care for him.

After a while, I kept seeing him more and more, and well I kinda started liking him, although he didn't even know i existed. (I kinda kept it quiet for a while but then I eventually told my friends and of course they were freaking out like OMG hahahha)

I really wanted to date this boy so bad, I mean really bad. I liked him so much! One day, one of my friends came up to me and told me that he said he was totally crushing on me. Of course I was freaking out.

So during that period in math, me and my friend passed notes and talked about him. She said she was gonna hook us up, so I was freaking out even more, but then in science, I talked to my other friend. She was gonna do it instead, so as the bell finally rung to get outta class, I was freaking out because I was finally gonna go out with the cutest boy ever.

We saw him in the hall, so my friend and I went up to him. I was just thinking inside this is it, it's finally gonna happen. She asked him if he liked me and wanted to go out. I was freakin until I heard "No."

My heart sank. She kept repeating and asking him over and over, and each time his answer was "NO". And then he just walked away like it never even happened. My friend said she was sorry and went to her class.

I just stood there and wanted to die. My friend lied to me. He did not like me. And I was devastated.

I finally went to journalism. I was just so depressed, I didn't wanna do anything, I was almost about to burst into tears. The boy that I totally loved and adored, was so not into me, but the hardest and most hurtful part about that was that my friend had lied to me about it.

She knew how much I liked this boy, but yet she didn't even care about my feelings. To this day, I still love that boy, and still see him roaming in the halls, and sometimes tears come to my eyes because I just love him so much, and can't be with him.


Sometimes things don't turn out how you want them to. But hopefully, you have true friends who you can turn to in these hard times.
