Shit I remember

9th grade

9th grade was absolutely nothing. I was online for most of the time but Aidan and I still had some tension.

I decided that I was going to ignore it and just move on, it worked.

Summer before 8th grade, I had ALMOST gotten together with a guy named Hayden. Completely different Hayden and slightly more assholey.

This Hayden was nice at first. He came over to the park beside my house to hang out with my neighbor (who I also dated).

We had a tiny bit of tension and asked for each other's numbers. We started texting and he wanted to do a zoom call.

I agreed and it was soooo awkward. I could barely hear the son of a bitch and I had to get off at a certain time because it was "too late".

We texted for a few days after that but everything went downhill once he hung up on me because his friend (who I was close friends with) didn't want to play football with him.

This pissed me off and definitely was the deal breaker. Not to mention that he literally told me "I prefer to ask you out in person" but said "so you wanna date" a few days later.

I told him no and explained why plus what my mom had told me and he got mad.

I haven't texted him since.

I wanted this character to have a dramatic interest so I'm adding him in next chapter!
