Never Out of Reach

Chapter 1. Last year

I was never good when it came to relationships. Each one would feel right at first but eventually it didn't feel like anything. I thought maybe it's because I don't like guys. Nothing changed, until sophomore year of highschool, when I walked into biology. I smiled. For the first time in so long I had a real smile on my face, but I never knew why. I was just happy when I walked into that class, and only that class. But I didn't just feel happy, I also felt like I was being watched, and not in a creepy, uncomfortable way, it was like someone was there to protect me if they saw I was in trouble.

My friend Melanie. The greatest friend anyone could ask for. I treated her as such and also as my own kid. I was protective of her, and I made sure everyone knew that I wouldn't let them hurt her. She met a guy on her bus, and they later started dating with my help. Little did I know that this guy was my one true love. A little weird right? Dating my best friends ex. But the thing about her was she's supportive of my decisions. I know she'd be supportive of us just as I was supportive of them.

I later became friends with this guy, figured out his name after forgetting it several times. Domanik, a cute blonde guy, with gray eyes and glasses, with a shy grin that made me fall for him almost instantly. When Melanie moved I felt it was my job to make sure that Domanik survived. For her sake I wanted him to be okay.

He gave me a book. One I still hold on to. I always had a feeling that he liked me, but I wasn't sure until then when he gave me the book I smiled like I never had before, and it wasn't because of  the subject (Star wars), it was because he gave it to me, and that was when I knew I liked him too. The only problem was I didn't know how to tell him, and still have trouble with to this very day. I decided to wait for him to ask me out instead. But it took a turn for the worse.
