You know, growing up my mom always had bad luck with men. Like always. She would bounce from guy to guy and sometimes even go back with the same guy more than once. She would always tell me "Jessica never get married or fall for a mans tricks" and I'd just nod being too young to understand what she meant. As I grew older I started to clue in, me and my sister actually didn't share a dad and mom was with someone we called "Earl" instead of "dad". Around 7th grade I got my first "boyfriend", I wouldn't even call him that he was more of an experiment to me. Yeah I felt as though there was something between us but it was nothing. Absolutely nothing. We "dated" for a year and he decided one day I was too sad and depressed for him so he left. Great boyfriend right? Maybe my mom was right, I shouldn't trust guys. So I tried to move on with my life. I told myself no more boys, but sure enough a month later it was a new guy. Then a new guy. Then another new guy. And just repeating the process till I finally realized what I was doing. I was just using these guys for the sake of being in a "relationship" I had no feelings at all toward them. What was I doing to myself? Was it because men were constantly abandoning my mom so I felt the need to do the same to these guys? I still to this day don't know that answer. I ruined my reputation and decided it was time to stop.
High school then happened. Starting all the way at the bottom again. I decided to turn a new page in my life, one without boys or relationships, just me and my schoolwork. Yeah.. no that's not what happened. I walked into my grade 10 English class and sat down in my assigned seat. Beside me was a black haired boy about as tall as me, he intrigued me slightly. Everyday I went into class he would come in after me and my eyes would follow him as he took his seat. There was just something about him that would keep him on my mind. One day our teacher was putting us into groups to talk about the books we were reading. I ended up in a group with the black haired boy, who I later found out was named Levi. Levi. I've never known a Levi. Was that why I was attracted to him? Wait.. did I have feelings for him? There's no way. I didn't even know him! I pushed that feeling aside.. Or so I thought I did.. I found Levi on face book and decided to add him. He accepted. Of course this was after we talked a bit in person, I'm not that crazy. So I decided to message him.
Me: "LEEEEEEVIIIIIIIII"
Levi: "Haha hey! What's up?"
Me: " I'm bored"
Levi: "I kinda noticed aha, either that or you were dying"
Me: "Yea.. MARSHMELLOW, hby sup?"
Levi: "Haha i'm just chillin and playing some fire emblem, wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard of it"
Me: "I haven't although I have heard bananas are a good source of potassium, bet you didn't know that"
Levi: "I didn't, you really are bored aren't you?"
Me: " *sigh* yup...."
The starting conversation of possibly the best friendship I have ever had.
It's now two years later, Levi the mystical boy from English class is now my boyfriend.
I now know what fire emblem is, and I now know what true love is.
