A Thousand Sweet Kisses

How It Began

Me and Luke, were always friends. Best friends in fact. We met in kindergarten. I was sitting alone on the playground. No one wanted to play with me because I spilled my milk allover during lunch. And being the nice guy he's always been, Luke bounced over. Plopping down next to me.
"What's wrong?" I remember him saying.
"No one likes me." I had replied. Crossing my arms and making that cute frowns that toddlers do.
"I do! You're funny. " He exclaimed. We bonded ever since. Of course we are real people. So we did get in fights. But they were just little things that neither one of us cared about. In first grade he stood up to a bully for me. In every school project we were partners. I remember in eighth grade he dropped a date with the prettiest girl in school because my dog passed away. And I did everything I could to repay him. We were best friends after all. But....I don't exactly know where my admiration or crush came from. Theres really no telling what happened. He was always that guy in school that everyone knew. Everyone wanted to be with. Except for me, poor Melanie James Williams. Or just Mj for short. We always said something to each other in the hallway. You know stuff like 'Hey!' or 'Sorry, let me get that!'. The second when someone would bump into me. I'm just rambling now I know. But in serious. He was the best guy. He had this amazing body. Dressed like he didn't really care what you thought. And look at me. Even here I'm not wearing the right thing. But him? He always looked perfect. And damn could he sing. You know what's worse? He could play any instrument. He could play football, baseball, basketball! That's what he's told me at least. But he's the perfect guy. And... I didn't expect to ever say that. To anyone. Not to mention someone I don't know. Everyone feels embarrassed every now and again. Especially when admitting to crushes. But right now I don't really care. And if you knew our story and why this is too late, I should tell all of you our story. Because that's what he would want. What he always wanted.
