You know that feeling where your throat feels like it's swollen, and it's hard to breathe? Well that's how I felt when I went up to talk to Luke. You see a month ago me and him were considered a "thing" I guess. We never dated but we talked for awhile and pretty much everyone in the school knew it. Usually I wouldn't have wasted that much time on a guy who wouldn't even ask me out. But there is just something about him, something that builds a fire in my soul and sends a rushing sensation of happiness through my body. My eyes light up when I see him. My smile deepens, my heart beats harder, and my feelings grow stronger. People are always saying " Lizzy you're too young to even understand love." But honestly if my feelings towards Luke isn't love then obviously I'll never know what it is. There were days where we talk all day long, I never got bored. See Luke he's a sports freak! Any sport you can think of he's plays. So of course I tried to go every game and be there for support. But even though he was busy with sports he always found time to talk to me. And that feeling that someone wants to talk to you, wants to be there for you. Is enough to fulfill a lifetime, it makes talking to someone worthwhile. You know when you grow serious feelings for someone it's really hard to let go of them. You spend all of this time after they break your heart, alone and so vulnerable. You just feel stupid, stupid for falling for someone. I mean come on when's the last time a middle school relationship lasted? But when it's one of the first people you'll ever feel that way about you're emotionally attached to them. No matter how much they refuse to talk to you, or even acknowledge that you exist. You find a way to still like then to still hold on.
