I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me.
As a kid I always adored the thought of being popular. I tried so hard to do exactly what videos on youtube told me to do. I was kind, I was rude, I played hard to get. Next thing I knew, in 1 week I became popular. Totally not realistic right. Something that would only happen in a movie right. I still can not believe how that happened to me.
Next thing I knew, I gained many followers on my socials. Some might say I was basically the queen of social media. It honestly felt great. I was happy and excited to go to school now that I was popular. Yup I was living the life. This happy life led all the way up to high school but I was, sadly, forced to move schools because my dad got another job in a different state. Bruh.
I was sad that I had to leave my popular life and go to a NEW school. The fear of not being popular haunted me. Turns out, I didn't have to worry for too long. Looks like once you're popular, you're always popular. Within a month at my new school everyone did exactly what I told them to do just like my old school. Everyone except Josh.
I met Josh on the first day of school. He showed me around campus.
Josh was a decent looking guy. By descent, I mean hot. He had light blonde hair and hazel blue eyes. All I knew about him was that we were in the same grade, had a few classes together, and that he was a little shy.
He helped me everyday to get to my classes because I had no clue where they were.
Overtime I got to know him a little better and we both decided we should take our friendship a little further. Yes Yes Yes!!
We dated for 11 MONTHS. Those 11 months were the best months of my life. We hung out 24/7. We went to movies, amusement parks, the gym, you name it and we probably went there. Since Josh started dating me his popularity went up. He became well known around school.
My life was going great until he decided that he wanted to break up with me.
I was shocked. He said that he didn't like to be the center of attention so he thought it wasn't a good idea to date the popular girl. Like I'm sorry??? Who doesn't want to be popular????????
He also said that I was bossing him around too much and he didn't feel free and happy when he was around me. He says it's the popularity that makes me bossy but I can't disagree more.Everyday after the breakup I felt like there was a hole in my heart. I truly loved him but we had to go our separate ways.
A year later Josh and I almost had every single class together. What are the odds of that? It's like we were meant to be. It took a lot of courage for me to talk to him since our breakup but I did it anyway.
