The Absolute Complication We Call Love

Realizations

I HAVE BEEN DATING EVAN FOR 3 weeks. It's ......great-ish. I know what you're thinking, "Really you finally got the guy of your dreams and now you're complaining?" I get that but for you to understand me first you have to understand guys . You see when a guy is super nice and emotional around you then he will act in a totally different way around his guy friends. That's exactly what he did. It was great the first week you know surprising me at my locker with flowers, walking me to lunch, so on and so forth. But then after a week he started acting weird . I met him sophomore year at a summer camp I went to with Harley, Miya, and some of the guys . Instead of being the nice and caring guy I met at summer camp, he was this non-emotional cold-shoulder guy who only cared about his friends. I don't know what happened to him. It was like he changed over night. Yesterday I asked him if he wanted to go do something and he said, "Sorry Lottie I have plans with the guys." And get this that was the same thing he said the last five days! Like really? do you have plans with the guys every night? Ugh, I don't know what to do. I can't break up with him because then I won't have him as a friend or a boyfriend, and I don't think I want to lose him forever. Then again it's not like I really have him right now. I decide I should have a conference with Miya and Harley.

"Just dump him already!" Miya exclaimed clearly annoyed that she wasn't outside playing kickball with the guys.

"Easy for you to say, you are already in a perfect relationship with Ryder," I said.

"Well that's because Ryder's......Ryder." great now she was blushing.

"Guy, guys don't fight. Look Lottie you have to do what you think is best . You should tell him how you feel. Now are we done?" Harley sighed. I swear to it's like that girl has to fix everything.

"Yes ." Miya and I said at the same time .

"Good ." Harley responded while marching out the door.

We followed. As soon as we got outside I marched with determination flowing through me. As I got to him he was with his friends (Big surprise) I pulled him away and he looked at me and noted, "You pulled me away from my friends".

"Well duh" I was really annoyed now. " Look I need to talk to you."

"Can we do this later?" He asked.

Was he really doing this? "I have plans with the guys." He explained. (or attempted to)

"No!" I yelled "We either do this now or you walk away..... Without a girlfriend.

"Whoa calm down okay," He grabbed my hands. "Look I want to be with you."

I looked him straight in the eyes and exclaimed, "Well you better start acting like it."
