wasted 3 years of my love with nothing in return

some of you won't understand this because i'm chaldean catholic & we do things an average joe wouldn't. 7th grade matt(fake name) came up to me at catechism & said his mom showed him a pic of me on facebook, first time i talked to him he said i looked cute. we exchanged a.i.m.s. & started im'ing each other, kinda flirting leading me on, seeing him at church hugging & talking.
then one day he said i was at d&b today with my friend jasmine (fake name) & i said oohh more then a friend because i was speechless with nothing to say! & he said, listen me & jasmine really like each other, yes she is my girlfriend. oh, & i know you like me by the way you stare at me. & i blew up & said you led me on, not my fault! stop flattering yourself & thinking everyone likes you because they don't.
we completely stopped talking for a month. then a church festival came up & we volunteered & we had to both help out on one of those inflatables & we started communicating casually. bear in mind i was in 7th grade; now i'm in ninth & he's two years older. then i was in the dunk tank & it was cold & raining & he kept dunking me & we started like laughing, yelling. then stopped talking the rest of the summer. oh yeah, our parents know each other.
wedding in april months later, i saw him, he came up to me & say hey look it's ashley (fake name), you look amazing. that was my 8th grade year then that summer we just had some hi's here & there. then here comes high school, same school, i'm a freshman & hes a junior & our lockers are both upstairs. i see him like 5 times in a day sometimes more. & ever since that day he told me i look at him too much, i never do now. i would walk with my friends & stuff & matt would always look at me you can tell. plus my friends would be like, why is that guy matt always looking at you & checking you out? i see him everywhere, my mom's in love with him. sometimes my mom talks to him & i just stand there or sit like it's no big deal, wanting him more & more everyday...
