Two years ago

My nerves are frazzled in excitement. It's my birthday and Rex Montgomery is coming! I wiggle in my place, finding it hard to stay in place. Maybe I should confess my feelings to him today. Before he goes off to college and finds someone else. Will he accept me? I find it so darn hard to keep still. So I decide to go to the backyard where my best friend Emma is. I told her I'll be back after checking if Rex is here yet, but after checking Aiden's room I realize that he's not.

So I walk back into the backyard to Emma and have my heart shattered. There they are, Rex and Emma, kissing like their life depends on it.

I can barely stop the tears that come out. I expect this behavior from Rex of course. But not Emma. She's my best friend, and she knows how much in love with Rex I am. Why would she do this?

From that day onwards, I decide to ignore Rex. Which wasn't very difficult as he went off to college. And I also break my friendship with Emma, which according to her was childish but I was hurt and I did not care.

No more loving Rex Montgomery.
