Deep Ink Love

Alex

I am positive she saw it. Missie had to have seen it. She was looking right at it before we made eye contact and she looked astounded. She is gorgeous with her long, wavy, red hair and her bright green eyes. How could I not love her? She and I used to be best friends. We met in 6th grade on the track team and were best friends until we drifted during the summer after 8th grade. She was always there for me in middle school. My parents were fighting a lot during that time and I didn't have a way to escape so I joined track. When I met her I was really shy and awkward but she was too. We exchanged numbers and I texted her as soon as I got home. She texted back about 10 minutes later and we talked for hours. The next day I realized she was in all of my classes. Another person I met during track was Jacob. He and I were friends but we weren't as close as Missie and I. But the first time I went to Jacob's house I found out that he and Missie were neighbors so all 3 of us hung out in his yard playing games until the sun went down. The next day when we woke up I texted her and the three of us went on a walk around the neighborhood. I don't know what I would've done if she wasn't there for me in middle school, she always helped me get through everything that came my way. In seventh grade I caught major feelings for her but knew she didn't feel the same way. Even after we drifted everytime I saw her in the hallways the feelings came back. Especially when she warmly smiles at me. I never told anyone that I liked her. When my now best friend Jacob started dating her in freshman year I was crushed but I never said anything about it. Lucky for me he broke up with her. Now he knows I like her and swears that she likes me back.
