Have you ever been in love? The good kind, the one that makes your toes curl and the whole zoo going crazy in your stomach? Well have you felt that but hide that fact because, unfortunately, its unrequited. Or it's just you're stuck in the dreaded f...
It all began when we were just kids. I was only 8 years old and he was 9. We didn't know it then but we would become best friends for a long time. But let me get back to how it began. I was in my friend Joshua's room, with my twin sister, they were playing a game together, because Josh and Sam were best friends. I was tucked into a corner because that was were I liked to be, unbeknownst to me that Josh had a friend coming over. And lo and behold walks in the greatest guy ever. I didn't know what to do, it was a boy my age! I was so shy I didn't even look at him I only talked to him if I had too. "Hey, my names JB," said JB. Extending a hand to me. I quickly turned my head and blushed. "Hi-" I said quietly when my sister chimed in. "I'm Samantha, but you can call me Sam. That's Heather," she pointed to me and returned to her game. Internally I was kicking myself I wish I was more like her; she's so outgoing. We may be twins but we are polar opposites. "Hi Heather-," he said to me. I'm probably as red as a tomato right now. I don't reply. So he returns his attention to Josh and the game they were playing. Later that day I was talking to my sister about JB and Josh. "What's JB like?" I asked her. She talked to him more than I did. "Not much I can tell you sissy," she said. "But Josh is cute, I think he is." She included. Rolling my eyes at my sister who normally found all boys cool or cute. Little did I know, that day would change me for the rest of my life.
