A Dream that Won't Come True

The school assignment

Someone outside my family who has made a difference in my life is Alex.

Alex was in my class during 6th grade so we saw each other often. Not to mention that we live only a few blocks away from each other. He was always a very hard person to talk to you, even now he still is. I would always try to keep up the conversation with him when we walk home because I thought it was awkward to walk in silence.

I will try to talk about things maybe he would be interested in, but he wouldn't keep the conversation going with the topics i chose. So what I did was just talked about what happened to me and what went on in my day. He wouldn't say anything to contribute to it, he would just listen to what I had to say. I would tell him what crazy things happened in one of my classes or how I felt all day. If I wasn't feeling up to talk about my day, he wouldn't pry at all. I guess he took note on my body language and the tone of my voice, but only he would know that.

Alex has always been there for me. He would wait for me everyday after school so that we can walk home together. He would also wait 10-15 minutes longer because I had to pick up my younger siblings. If I decided to stay after to maybe practice my flute, he would walk the kids home for me without any complaints. He is the nicest boy that I have ever been friends with.

Nowadays, we hang out more because we are dating. Having someone who has looked out for you for 3 years be your boyfriend is a good feeling. It's a good feeling because I know the type of person he is and I know that you always look out for me. Alex is someone who will deal with my craziness and not leave me because of it!

I can tell you that everytime I talk to Alex about my day, I feel 80 percent better. Telling someone about my day and my feelings really brought my spirits up. Nobody knew this just by looking at me, but on the inside I was dying. I wanted to you ruined everything, including myself. Telling Alex about everything that I kept quiet about all day made me feel better. I felt kind of bad though because every time my mom and ask how my day went I would tell her 'good' and 'fine'. Having just told Alex how it went, I didn't want to repeat myself.

I wouldnt to trade Alex for anybody else. He will always be there for me when I feel down.Always be there to listen to me just talk. He would always be willing to wait for me, no matter how slow I am. Alex such a great person to me, I don't understand why he is sometimes.

I'm glad that Alex is here for me whenever I meet him. He always does something to make me smile. He always brightens my day somehow.
