The Way She Was

chapter 5

We were in ninth grade when i had my first real crush, he was bit tanned , had brown puppy eyes and brown hair, kinda hard not to like, Romie had my back, gave me a pep talk , did my hair and make up,we had a game plan, a cliché one, she was going to push me over to him,i will bump into him, fall, he will catch me and we would live happy ever after, instead she was pushed, fell into his arms and had a moment, it was suppose to be me, i was mad, angry, pissed off mostly feeling pathetic to ever think i had a chance with him, Romie ran to me and hugged me , she was apologizing, holding me tight , i felt guilty for blaming her and being mad at her, it was an accident, she was whispering in my ear telling she was going to make it better, she looked and said "i will fix this" pressing on each word, i couldn't help but hugging her, i wouldn't know what to do without her.

True to her words she did fix it, the next day he talked to me, i didn't know how much we talked but it was a lot, he was funny,kind everything i ever wanted, i was happy all because of Romie.

Three months later, it wasn't me and Romie against the world anymore, we had a new addition, everyday Romie would hype me up,tell that tomorrow was the day, he was going to ask me out, i waited three months for this,Romie was excited more than me, it made happy to see her care for me, Romie still didn't date, but she looked happy single, as long as Romie is happy i am too.

Three days later, he asked me out, the first thing i did was ring Romie, we were squealing, giggling non-stop, i had a boyfriend, he was mine, and my best friend liked him, the two people i care about the most got along,can it get any better

Romie developped a crush on a sophmore, he was cute,green eyes, brown curly hair, cute boyish smile, she knew how to pick em, her wait wasn't for nothing, as her best friend, i was glad she had someone, they soon became friends, we all became  close forming a squad, our squad.

It didn't last, the squad, my so called boyfriend was intrested in my best friend more than his own girlfriend, i didn't put much thought to it at first, i seem to do that a lot, but he would only talk about her, i mean she was great, i talk about her all the time, that's how amazing she was, well that was until he asked me if she was single, and kept on telling me how beautiful  she was.the next day i was walking towards them when i heard him confessing his feelings to her,i felt my heart breaking,shattering into tiny pieces, i ran as fast as possible to my house,i just wanted to cry, sob and curl into a ball and cry some more, but she wasn't going to let me, that was Romie for you,she followed me home,took care of me,told me how much of an asshole he was and that i deserve better.

Romie stayed over that night, we cuddled, it honestly made me feel a little bit better, i didn't love him, i liked him, it didn't hurt as much as i thought but i was still sad,but i didn't blame him, who wouldn't fall in love with Romie,after their first moment, he was hers,everybody knew it, expect me.

I wasn't the only one that was restless the morning after, Romie looked tired but i was too heartbroken to care.
