The Truth About Love

The Story

It started my senior year in my 7th period English class a month later after the first day of school. I walked into my class happy to see two of my friends, that I've known from my freshman year when I first ever came to high school. I didn't realize him until a month after school started because the teacher put us into a group of people we didn't know. When I talked to him I found out he was in the same grade as me. My feelings for him slowly grew over time until one day my other friend started a fight at lunch. It was with a group of guys and my friend left for me to deal with them. When the guy I met in my 7th period class stopped by and said hello, I asked him if he could sit with me until lunch ended. He asked me if everything was alright and I told him I was having an anxiety attack, thanks to my other friend who just left. He actually sat with me until the bell did ring which made me really happy....

My Number

After a week passed from me having the anxiety attack at lunch, my feelings for the guy in my 7th period class had grown much bigger. Then on a different day at lunch, once again, I was walking up to the choir room when I stopped him. I asked him how he was, he responded and then asked me the same thing. We kept talking until he said "what's your number?" My heart skipped a beat when he asked me. I guess I also froze for a second because he asked me if I was okay. I finally responded and said I was okay, while also giving him my number. Time went by so fast in that moment, that the bell was ringing for the start of class. He said goodbye and also told me he would text me when he got home. I walked away with a smile so big, when I got into my 8th period class, my friend asked me why I had a smile bigger than the Jokers....

The Park

It had been 2 days since I gave him my number and had been texting each other ever since. Finally after a short week of school we had a three day weekend. When I got home from school I texted him asking if he wanted to hangout the next day. He said yes and asked me what time would be good to come over. I told him anytime in the morning would be fine. After we were done texting I contacted a different friend of mine and asked her if she wanted to hang out also. She said yes but I would need to pick her up. Finally it was the next day and he called me asking me where my apartment was located. I went down stairs to get him and showed him how to get up to my apartment if he comes over again. When we both got inside I told him my friend needed a ride in order to hangout with us. He asked me where she lived, I didn't know myself so I had to text her. Finally after she responded, both me and him got in the car to go get her. We had a little trouble finding the entrance to her place, but we finally got there and picked her up. We went back to my apartment and were hanging out there until it got dark. I recommend if they wanted to go to the park across the street. They both agreed and we left on foot to the park. My friend started talking about her crush and how he's the perfect human being ever alive. We finally got to the park and I started to say how I like someone and I don't know if they felt the same about me. (Now before I tell you what I said, my language arts teacher told me his last name started with an S and it wasn't even close, his last name was a different letter. I'm not going to say just in case someone who's reading this knows him.) My friend said to him to keep walking and stopped me, she asked "it's him isn't it?" We then caught up to him and he asked me who I liked and I told him his name but with the wrong last name. He looked disappointed and I thought that was his last name at that time. So I took all the courage I had and said "it's you who I like." He then had a surprise on his face and then smiled at me. I then looked over to my other side to see my friend there but no, she was on the play equipment. Me and him walked over to the equipment and joined her. My heart was beating fast not knowing what the future holds between me and him....

The Question 

It had been a week since I told him I liked him. Ever since that moment, he's been texting and talking to me more. I told him when we were hanging out at lunch, for the hundredth time, I wasn't gonna ask him out of he did like me. I explained to him that in my previous relationships I had to make all the decisions and the moves. Which I also told him I didn't like, plus girls aren't supposed to make the moves. After I told him the bell was ringing for the start of class. He said goodbye and I told him to text me when he got home. He was gonna reach in for a hug but I backed away because my mind was thinking he was going to kiss me. I know stupid thinking, we're not even going out yet. I walked away fast because I was embarrassed from thinking that. I know he couldn't read my mind but I closed my eyes as he leaned in to hug me. Later on in the week at lunch, like usual, we were hanging out in the science building while I showed him a song that I liked. After I showed him, I somehow brought up dating and how I would like him for him to be boyfriend. I then realized I did the thing I told him I wasn't going to do. I said sorry to him like the idiot I was and before I realize it he's saying "how about we switch it around." I must of had a smile bigger than the Jokers this time because he was staring at me, probably waiting for me to answer. I responded back with "I would love to be your girlfriend...."

After The Question 

After I said yes, I felt like I forced him to ask me. I started to ask if I was forcing him into the relationship, and he reassured me saying I wasn't forcing him into anything. Once we were done talking the bell was ringing for the end of lunch. We both left the room and he walked me to class while I grabbed his hand. When I got halfway to my class he let go of my hand and hugged me goodbye. Before I went into my class I texted my mom saying he asked me out. I know I was in high school and I texted my mom like I was a little kid that couldn't wait to tell someone. After I texted my mom I headed to my last class for the day. Once class was over I met up with him and he gave me a ride home. On the way to his car there were three other guys by his cars. I knew two of the three but not the other boy. When I got in his car the boy who I didn't know was introduced as one of the two brothers friend. After the friend was introduced we finally left school and I got dropped off at my place. I told him goodbye and to text me when he got home....
