Dating my best friend

Freshman Year Began...

This year was the year that I figured out who my true friends are...

We have this thing called Dawg Days for rising ninth graders, and that is basically when you go to the school to get your schedule and see if you have classes with anyone you know. I asked a lot of my friends from eighth grade if they had the classes I had, no one did and I got really scared, but then I saw Ciara. I was like please at least one class. We got so lucky and got two classes together, then later that year she switched classes to be in the same musical theatre class with me. We have a total of three classes together and I am so glad we do. I then later found out that my friend Jairo and Megan were in the same math class, it is an interesting math class. In lit I have met Andrina, reconnected with Gabi from elementary school, Ciara was also in that class, and Mina from Savannah Trip.

I later on figured out that I have already met Andrina because she was talking about her mom , then she was showing pictures, and then I looked at Andrina and just started dying of laughter. She was really confused, but then I started asking questions like if her mom does hair, because she did my hair the summer before, and she said yes. I started to tell her how I was the one that came over to her house last summer and her mom dyed my hair purple. She looks up at the group and says, " I remember because you came home with my mom and she brought you mcdonalds, but didn't bring me any after I had asked her....I was so mad." We all started laughing especially at the fact that we just remembered we met. Especially because my mom told me that her and her mom were asking if we had classes together and we said no. Andrina is so funny and I am glad I got to meet her twice.

The Musical Theatre class was very separate at first, meaning freshies over here and upperclassmen over there. Now we are all together, especially after the musical 42nd street, I'll get into that later.

The first month of August I broke up with Jacob because I realized our relationship was not moving forward and he just does not know how to be honest. It is one thing if he had skipped class and told me he did it, instead of me finding out from one of his friends, ask him about it, and he then denies it. When I noticed our relationship was ending I started crushing on my best friend's brother. I did not want to, but I did. That was Ciara's brother. After Dakota found out that Jacob and I were over and he knew who I liked, he was my person that I went to because I couldn't go to Ciara about it because it was her brother, so that sucked. It took a while, but eventually I got over him and started to think I liked someone else, but wasn't sure if I did.

One of my favorite things were the football games. My group of friends would not actually watch the game we would just walk around, get food , and talk. I loved going to the football games for just that. At first it was Angelina, Jordyn, Ciara,  Dakota, and Hannah. We would always hang out with other people too, just not for long. One of those other people I remember was Korynn. She was in Curtains with me. During football games I had liked Ciara's brother. Some other football games, I was trying to figure out if I liked this other guy.

A couple months later, in October, was one acts for the high school. I wanted to go see it because Ciara's brother was in it, but also I knew Dakota was in it. I wanted to go to support both of them. As I am watching the one act, I am looking at Ciara's brother, and then I look at Dakota. For some strange reason my mind was like, what if you liked Dakota, then I couldn't stop thinking about it the whole time I was watching the show. The show ended and I gave a hug to Ciara's brother and congratulated Dakota. I could not stop thinking how Ciara's brother hugged me. I was trying to get over him and it wasn't working.

Then at school Dakota and I started getting comments on how we look like a couple. Even Elizabeth and her mom asked if I liked him, and they haven't even met him.  I just said no to Elizabeth, even though there was maybe a slight chance I did.I just ignored it externally, but internally I didn't. He usually cares what people think in those situations. It was mainly at lunch when it happened. One day he just put his legs across mine and I just patted them and I was like "okay." Angelina was there and was just like, "okay now it looks like you are dating." I started to remember she used to like him. I didn't know if she still did, but I got that impression. Then all the sudden one day she was telling me that she thinks he likes her. I was just like welp do you still like him and she would be like, "Yes/No, but if he asked me out I would say yes." This is when I was trying to figure out if I liked that other guy, that other guy by the way is Dakota. Knowing that she maybe likes him was like okay maybe I shouldn't.
