They Weren't Kidding

Chapter 1

They weren't kidding when they said love comes in the most unexpected way with the most unexpected people. I never expected to fall in love. It's not that I didn't want to. In fact, part of me really wanted to fall in love and for someone to fall for me in return. I often listened to love songs and dreamed of the day when someone would come along and sweep me off my feet. It had been years, though, since I had started feeling like that and I was losing hope that I had any luck in this manner at all. Well, that was until one day when I fell for a person I never expected to.

The person I fell for was my best friend, a chick by the name of Ryan Kaye who stands at just an inch taller than me, 5'5". She has gorgeous long brown hair and eyes that could stun anyone who has the pleasure to stare into them. Her eyes often changed colours, but I think that is my all-time favourite thing about them. One day, they would be a unique shade of green. Another, they'd be hazel, which is one of my favourite eye colours. The next they'd be gold; it'd stun me at the mere sight. Then there would be days they're a gorgeous shade of brown. It felt as if I was waking up with a surprise every morning. Every time I would see her smile, it's like seeing the whole room light up. (Yes, I realise that this is an overly used metaphor, but it seemed so accurate and fitting for her glorious smile.) Her overall appearance has always been completely breath-taking.

Ryan also happens to have a character that I have found very interesting and attractive. She is sassy, yet it super sweet when it comes to certain people. She is horribly scrappy, so I've had to get in between her and someone she had beef with on numerous occasions. I don't mind, though, if it means keeping her from getting hurt or in trouble with those higher up. She has a dark and/or dirty sense of humour, which I love because it matches my sense of humour. Ryan is so caring, though she often doesn't think she is. Her heart is so soft towards people in need. There are times I catch myself feeling cold-hearted when talking to her due to the fact that, with some of the areas she cares about, I just don't care or have no softness towards at all. I think we balance each other out quite well.

I suppose now that I've described my girl, I should probably let you guys in on how I look and act. Well, to begin, I'm not very tall. I'm average height for a female which is 5'4". I know it seems like that isn't all that short, but compared to so many people around me, it's short. I've got short dirty blonde hair that doesn't grow too far past my hair line before I go in for another trim. I have these blue eyes that I've always quite liked having. They are a type of blue that doesn't really have a parallel. Often times my smile comes out crooked. I don't actually have a clue as to why this is, but the left side of my lower lip has always tended to hug the top lip.

My character isn't the most exciting, yet I still managed to get the most amazing chick. I can be a rule follower...sometimes. When I know I can get away with it, I bend the rules. Yet, I find myself having an innate desire to break the rules and have wild adventures, just to experience the world. I've always tended to hang out with guys more than girls and it shows in how I act. I am not ladylike. At all. Which I suppose is alright, seeing as I'm agender. I'm also asexual aromantic which has led to a very dry love life. I don't mind, though. I tend to find people too boring to date for too long. I often spend the time I would be on a date playing video games or writing things like stories or songs. I enjoy areas that involve me being creative or that incite my imagination.

Ryan and I share a lot of the same likes and dislikes so arguments for us have always been few and far in between. This includes in the area of music which has always been a major part of my life. It was one part of the criteria that I held people at before I would date them. She would share new music with me and I would do the same thing with her. We also share interests and opinions in just about every area of life. Getting along, as you can probably assume, wasn't difficult. We hardly ever argue, and if we do, it's small things that don't matter too much to either one of us.
