Shit I remember

8th grade

We're starting 8th grade in the middle of the summer. Yall remember Aidan? He's back!

Aidan and I started to become friends over the summer and bonded a lot. Mostly because he had a crush on me.

We did eventually date.

First guy I actually dated was a guy named Alvin. He was nice but his friend was a dick. Always teasing and being an asshole.

One unfortunate day, his friend dared him to hold my hand and I rejected it. Reason being, I was uncomfortable.

Around this time, I had also became friends with my sisters bullys older sister... if that makes sense.

She helped me break up with him because I wasn't ready to date.

So I stopped dating! I'm serious! I stopped dating and actually saved myself.

Before I had started dating again, I used to say "I couldn't break my streak".

Now here comes Aidan again. Aidan and I always had history. Whether it was us "starting over" or arguing about NOT getting together.

Aidan and I had the same English class and he was like a savior to me because he was one of the only people I really talked to in that class.

We got put together for the rest of the year and always played footsie. I remember this one time when our sub caught us and asked if we needed to be moved. We tried so hard not to laugh.

And one time at the beginning of the year when we were still sitting in our square tables, I looked up Sonic memes and was laughing my ass off, crying so hard while he just looked at me like "what".

We always had something going on. One sunny day as we were eating lunch, I decided to stay and eat because most of our friends would leave to go to the field to play football before 4th period and I barely ate anything.

Aidan stayed with me and we just made conversation as we always did and he asked if I had a crush, I told him my honest answer which was "not at the moment, you?" And he replied with "Yeah, you".

He confused me so much. We had so much tension but I didn't like him like that at the time. And when the bell rang and I was walking to my 4th period class he asked me, "so is this a thing?".

I told him no and went on my way. Now let me tell you, he was pissed.

I'm 85 % sure the things he did after this were to make me jealous.

But he didn't talk to me for the longest time. And then he got a girlfriend!

I was obviously happy for him because why not? But she went up to me one day and asked if I could talk to him and ask why he was ignoring her.

I was confused because it seemed like they were happy. I was told they made out and everything, mind blown.

I asked him about what happened and he just ignored me as well. We ended up making up and just forgetting everything.

This is when COVID happened. Schools shut down, we were told that we were on a 2 week break, then lockdown.

Aidan and I started bonding again over the next few months and I started to have feelings for him once again.

His sister had actually come over to talk to me for a bit and told me that the asshole had been grounded for "buying weed" or some stupid shit.

I couldn't hold in my crush for any longer so I told him. He lied. Mf was just ignoring me I guess until I confessed.

I asked him if he liked me back and I had my dumbass fairy tale "I always have".

Plot twist, we got together and he said I wasn't taking it seriously so we broke up. This was right before 9th grade.
