He was older than me by a year. He was very handsome and tall. We went to the same school but we never had classes together. I thought that he was attractive but how could someone like him fall for someone like me. One day, I was getting a drink for myself and I tripped over another student's foot, she went to a different school, her and her little squad. She was super mean, she got so mad at me for tripping over her "Louis Vuitton" shoes, that she opened my drink and spilled it all over me. He was the first person that stood up for me. After she spilled it on me, he told her to back off and gave her money to go buy some new shoes.
So that's where he came in, he was suddenly there, defending me and helping me get up. I was so embarrassed, everyone was staring at us. Eventually when those mean girls left, he took me to the nurse's office to get me get cleaned up. The nurse gave clean clothes to me and I was excused for the rest of the day. I was just going to just go to the park because I didn't want to go home yet and he followed me to the park, I kept thinking, "Didn't he have anything else to do?" When we got to the park, I turned around and yelled at him. I asked why he followed me all the way over here. I think I hurt his feelings, so I said sorry and that I was thankful for what he did. I let him stay at the park with me till it was probably 3 pm. After that day, we became friends, I guess. I thought it would be a simple act of kindness but whenever he saw me at school, he would walk me to class, eat lunch with me, take me home, even help me with my math homework. Even outside of school, he always bought snacks for me and made jokes to make me laugh. I was grateful for those moments but I didn't know how to deal with friendship or whatever this was.
He was so nice to me but I just didn't know how to interpret this. I just kept that to myself though and after many attempts to make him leave me alone, I eventually just lowered my guard and really enjoyed his company. He made me feel like I wasn't alone anymore, that the world wasn't as dark before. He made me feel safe. We would skip school and go to the park to feed ducks and go to the arcade to play games. We went to eat frozen yogurt, we went to the library, and sometimes we went to see new movies that had come out at the time. We went to do lots of adventurous things. After a few months, almost at the end of the school year... he confessed to me.
