My Memory Log

My ex-almost boyfriend

Now I'm going to tell the story of Randy and I.

I met Randy in first grade and we became best friends instantly. We eventually found out he lived down the street from me and although we never went over to the other person's house, we were constantly telling people how close we were.

It was just first grade but I had a crush on him.

In second grade we grew even closer, and he had a crush on me (the only guy who has ever liked me.)

(fun fact: When I was talking to him about two years ago about our past he said he just felt sorry for me but we all know that he really did like me)

My two best friends at the time, Ashley and Madison, dared me to ask him out.

What I didn't know is they were working with Robert, who dared Randy to ask me out.

(And this is the second grade, guys xD)

So during one of the many times we were passing notes, I asked him out... And he asked me out. (I don't count it because he was dared to do it)

We didn't say yes or no... But we just assumed we were boyfriend and girlfriend (that's where the almost part comes into the title)

Of course I also had a crush on Robert kind of so I 'broke up' with Randy on field day when we were having a relay race with all the classes.

I distracted him so we almost lost but we did end up winning, so...

Then third grade came. I still had a crush on him.

But I got competition. I had a few best friends at the time in two different friend groups.

Danielle and Kate (more my best friends than the others)

And Gabby, Tasha, Alexina, and someone else who I forget xD

Well... Gabby also had a crush on him... And he had a crush on Kate. (Love triangle!)

With my third grade logic I immediately figured I no longer had any chances because the three of then had something in common (they were... well, still are, Mexican)

But we were still friends...

Then came fourth grade and we were no longer in the same grade. Fourth grade logic convinced me that liking someone in a different class was not okay so I started to continue my crush on Robert while also starting to like Andrew (who, by the way, is a total douche now)

We would sit together on the bus all the time this year and I remember one day Lisa, my bus driver, yelled at everyone on the bus and told us about the camera in the front of the bus and how it could see us. So me and him crouched under the seat so it couldn't see us and, because we didn't know it couldn't actually hear us, we whispered to each other until I had to get off. It's actually one of my favorite memories.

Fifth grade came along and we became those friends who just pass each other in the hallway and wave

In sixth grade we were in an after school program for smart people in science and math (I would tell you the name but if you look it up you'll know where I used to live and where he currently lives) and we hung out all the time. Me, him, and a girl named Emily who also has Wattpad but I forget her user. (She wrote Harry Styles fanfictions religiously I swear.)

We ended up going on an overnight field trip to URI (University of Rhode Island) and there was this giant pool there that the three of us swam in together and there's this huge high dive that all three of us went on and gosh it was so fun. The next morning the teachers gave us dunkin donuts and really bad hot chocolate. He saved me and her seats and after he left, me and her saved him a donut.

In seventh grade we were in the same homeroom and talked a lot. He would roll his eyes whenever I did my homework in the AB block where we had 25 minutes to read (I usually texted Jenna or did my homework) but right after he'd realize he forgot to do his homework and I'd laugh at him.

I'm going to stop here but I just want to show how long we were friends. I don't like him like a crush anymore, but he was honestly my longest running guy friend and I don't think I'll ever meet another guy who will ever have a friendship with me that will compare to that. I haven't talked to Randy in more than a year and a half and I probably will never see him again but I don't think I will ever forget him or what he meant to me :)
